Across
  1. 2. Simple plants (like mosses) that lack true vascular systems, roots, stems, and leaves, relying on diffusion and osmosis for transport.
  2. 4. flowering plant distinguished by seeds
  3. 6. a plant that has seeds unprotected by an ovary or fruit
  4. 7. A plant, typically woody, that sheds its leaves annually during the dormant season.
  5. 9. A taxonomic rank that groups closely related species; it is the first part of a plant's two-word scientific name.
  6. 12. A plant that completes its entire life cycle (from seed to producing new seeds) in a single growing season
  7. 13. Plants that have specialized tissues (xylem and phloem) for transporting water and nutrients.
  8. 14. group of non-vascular land plants that include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts
Down
  1. 1. a group of vascular plants that reproduce by spores instead of seeds or flowers
  2. 3. Organelles within plant cells that contain chlorophyll and are the site of photosynthesis.
  3. 5. A plant that lives for more than two years, often with a life cycle that can repeat indefinitely.
  4. 8. Small pores on the surface of leaves that regulate gas exchange (carbon dioxide in, oxygen out) and water loss.
  5. 10. A flowering plant with a single cotyledon (embryonic leaf) in its seed.
  6. 11. diverse group of aquatic, photosynthetic, eukaryotic organisms that lack true roots, stems, and leaves
  7. 15. The basic unit of classification, referring to a group of similar organisms that can interbreed and is the second part of the scientific name.
