Plant Biology

2. — Process in which cells break down glucose to release usable energy.
4. — Plant tissue responsible for transporting materials throughout the plant.
7. — Attraction between molecules of the same substance, such as water molecules attracting one another.
10. — Small openings in leaves through which gases and water vapour can move.
12. — Attraction between molecules of different substances, such as water and the walls of xylem
14. — Vascular tissue that transports water and dissolved minerals through a plant.
15. — Leaf tissue containing air spaces that facilitate gas movement within the leaf.

1. — Process in which plants use light energy to produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water.
3. — Specialized cell that controls the opening and closing of a stoma.
5. — Loss of water vapour from a plant, mainly through its stomata.
6. — Plant tissue involved in functions such as photosynthesis, storage, and support.
8. — Leaf tissue containing many chloroplasts where much of a leaf’s photosynthesis occurs.
9. — Plant tissue that forms the protective outer covering of the plant.
11. — Vascular tissue that transports sugars and other organic nutrients through a plant.
13. — Waxy protective layer that helps reduce water loss from a plant’s surface.
