Plant Anatomy

2. tissue that carries sugar from the leaves to other parts of the plant
4. transports pollen from the stigma to the ovary
5. tissue that carries water from the roots to the leaves for photosynthesis
7. part of the root that increases surface area for maximum water absorption
9. protects the growing root tips
11. part of the root where most new cells are created
13. part of the plant responsible for absorbing water and nutrients from the soil
16. part of the lead epidermis that contains the stomata
17. produces the male gametes (pollen)

1. part of the leaf epidermis that contains the waxy cuticle and protects from water loss
3. part of the plant responsible for providing support and transporting food, water, nutrients
6. part of the plant where photosynthesis occurs
8. sticky structure on top of the style that collects pollen
10. pore found in the epidermis of leaves where CO2 enters plants and O2 is released
12. brightly colored to attract pollinators
14. produces the female gamete (eggs)
15. outer layer that protects the unopened flower
