Plant Classification and Anatomy
Across
- 4. A flowering plant that takes two years to complete its biological life cycle
- 5. The female reproductive part of a flower, responsible for producing seeds
- 6. A flowering plant whose embryo has two seed leaves
- 8. Microscopic, specialized pores located on the epidermis of leaves, stems, and other plant organs for gas exchange
- 9. Long-lived plants that grow, bloom, and return year after year for more than two consecutive years
- 10. A vascular tissue in plants responsible for transporting water and dissolved minerals upwards from the roots to the stems and leaves
- 11. The part of a flower's stamen that produces and contains pollen
- 12. vascular,seed-producing plants that hold "naked" seeds in cones rather than a fruit or flower
Down
- 1. A group of flowering plants characterized by seeds that contain only one cotyledon
- 2. A living, vascular tissue in plants responsible for transporting organic nutrients from leaves to the rest of the plant
- 3. Vascular,seed-producing plants characterized by producing flowers
- 5. A modified, often brightly colored or white, leaf-like structure that surrounds the reproductive parts of a flower
- 7. The enlarged basal portion of a flower's pistil that contains ovules, which eventually develop into fruit.
- 8. The male, pollen-producing reproductive organ of a flower
- 11. A type of plant that completes its entire life cycle within a single growing season or year
