Plant Biology
Across
- 2. / flap of tissue located at the base of a petiole, usually occurs in pairs
- 5. / includes stem, leaves and roots
- 7. / flattened photosynthetic surface of a leaf
- 8. / includes flowers, fruits, and seeds
- 9. / horizontal underground stem
- 11. / plant organ that supports leaves, may store food
- 12. / above-ground portions of the plant
- 15. / site where leaves are attached to stem
- 17. / sperm from the pollen unites with an egg present in the ovary
- 18. / leaf blade that attaches directly to stem; lack of a petiole
- 19. / portion of a grass leaf that wraps around the stem
Down
- 1. / meristematic tissue in roots that differentiates to form lateral roots and stems
- 2. / unbranched, elongated inflorescence
- 3. / the flowering part of a plant; a flower cluster
- 4. / meristematic tissue located in the leaf axils that produces flowers or lateral branches
- 6. / underground stem modified for food storage
- 8. / primary organ for water and nutrient uptake, may store food
- 10. / stem tissue in-between nodes
- 13. / pollen is delivered from the stamen to the pistil
- 14. / stem-like structure that attaches leaf blade to stem
- 16. / primary organ for conducting photosynthesis and exchanging gases
- 20. / a dense cluster of sessile flowers; inflorescence of the Asteraceae
