Plant anatomy
Across
- 3. Fills in the soft parts of the plants, such as cortex, pith and pericycle.
- 4. Located in the axil of a leaf. Each bud has the potential to form shoots, and may be specialized in producing either vegetative shoots or reproductive shoots.
- 5. Leaves that can become adventitious plantlets, when they fall of the main leave.
- 9. The outermost layers of stems and roots of woody plants.
- 10. one of the two groups into which all the flowering plants or angiosperms were formerly divided. The name refers to one of the typical characteristics of the group, namely that the seed has two embryonic leaves or cotyledons.
- 12. The primary growing point located at the apex of the stem.
- 13. provides the main structural support to a plant.
- 14. transports the soluble organic compounds made during photosynthesis
- 15. grass and grass-like flowering plants, the seeds of which typically contain only one embryonic leaf, or cotyledon.
- 16. Transports water from roots to stems and leaves
Down
- 1. Complex conducting tissue, formed of more than one cell type. The primary components are the xylem and phloem.
- 2. The outer protective layer of the primary plant body
- 6. A single layer of cells that covers the leaves, flowers, roots and stems of plants.
- 7. Provides extra mechanical and structural support, particularly in regions of new growth.
- 8. A protecting film covering the epidermis of leaves
- 11. Forms the "filler" tissue in the soft parts of plants
