Across
  1. 3. Tiny pores on the surface of leaves that control gas exchange (in,out) and water vapor release.
  2. 4. Angiosperms with one seed leaf (cotyledon), flower parts in threes, and scattered vascular bundles.
  3. 5. A plant variety produced by selective breeding that has specific, desirable characteristics.
  4. 6. Vascular plants that produce flowers and seeds enclosed within a fruit.
  5. 9. The part of the stamen (male reproductive part) that produces and contains pollen.
  6. 11. Vascular tissue responsible for transporting water and dissolved minerals upward from the roots.
  7. 12. Plant Simple plants, such as mosses, that lack specialized vascular tissue (xylem/phloem) for transporting water and nutrients.
  8. 14. A waxy, protective layer covering the epidermis of leaves and stems that prevents water loss.
Down
  1. 1. A plant that lives for more than two years, often persisting for many seasons.
  2. 2. A layer of meristematic tissue (growth tissue) that produces new xylem and phloem, increasing stem width.
  3. 6. A plant that completes its entire life cycle—germination to seed production—in one growing season.
  4. 7. Threadlike structures that anchor nonvascular plants (like mosses) to the ground.
  5. 8. Vascular tissue that transports sugars and metabolic products downward from the leaves.
  6. 10. Vascular plants that produce naked seeds (not enclosed in fruit), typically in cones, such as conifers.
  7. 13. Angiosperms with two seed leaves, flower parts in fours or fives, and vascular bundles in rings.
