PLANT ORGAN SYSTEMS
Across
- 1. component of the leaves vital for photosynthesis
- 3. transports water and solutes from roots to leaves
- 5. process by which water evaporates from the leaves, therefore causing more water to be drawn up from the roots
- 7. tiny pore in the surface of a leaf that is used for gas exchange
- 8. process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy
- 10. strand of primary tissues found within the stem of a plant and consisting of xylem and phloem
- 12. ideal tonicity for plants cell that makes it turgid
- 13. plant organ that absorbs sunlight, and make food for the plant by photosynthesis
- 15. cells where processed sugars are transported
- 17. organ system that consists of leaves and stem
- 19. cells that surround the stoma that regulates its opening and closing during transpiration
Down
- 1. cells of the phloem that retain their nucleus and control the adjacent sieve cells
- 2. process how plants are able to absorb water from soil depending on concentration
- 4. A chemical that strengthens the walls of the xylem
- 6. plant organ that keep a plants in the ground to take in water and nutrients from the soil
- 9. plant organ that supports the leaves and flowers and transports water and nutrients between the roots and the leaves
- 11. organ system that anchors the plant underneath the soil to absorb water and nutrients to the plant
- 14. portion of the shoot system where the non-reproductive plant organs are found
- 16. transport of food from the leaves to the rest of the plant
- 18. process of materials from leaves to other tissues throughout the plant
