Plant Anatomy

3. Protect seeds and aid in their dispersal through animals, wind, or water.
4. Vascular tissue that transports water from the roots to the rest of the plant
7. Which structure in a plant cell is responsible for photosynthesis
8. The stalk that attaches a leaf to the stem, supporting the leaf and allowing nutrients and water to reach the leaf blade.
10. The broad, flat part of a leaf that captures sunlight for photosynthesis
11. Absorb water and nutrients from the soil, anchor the plant, and store food and nutrients.
13. Small openings on the surface of leaves for gas exchange and transpiration.
14. Transport water, nutrients, and sugars within the leaf and provide structural support
15. Facilitate reproduction by attracting pollinators, producing seeds, and sometimes developing into fruit.

1. Supports the plant, transports water, nutrients, and sugars between roots and leaves, and stores some nutrients.
2. A waxy layer that prevents water loss and protects the leaf from damage
5. Conduct photosynthesis to produce food for the plant, exchange gases (CO₂ and O₂), and regulate water loss through transpiration.
6. The point on a stem where leaves, branches, or flowers originate; essential for growth and development
8. Vascular tissue that transports sugars and other metabolic products from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
9. the process by which water is lost from the plant through evaporation, primarily from the stomata in leaves.
12. Contain the embryo of a new plant and store nutrients necessary for germination and early growth.
