plant organ systems B2
Across
- 2. — Tissue that carries water and mineral ions through the plant.
- 5. — The loss of water vapour from plant leaves.
- 8. — Leaf layer with air spaces that aid gas exchange.
- 11. — Plant structure that absorbs water and mineral ions from the soil.
- 13. — Green pigment in leaves that absorbs light energy.
- 14. IONS — Substances absorbed from the soil and needed for healthy plant growth.
- 16. — Leaf layer containing many chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
- 17. — Tissue that transports dissolved sugars around the plant.
- 18. — Conditions that increase water loss from a leaf.
- 19. — The sugar produced during photosynthesis.
Down
- 1. — Tiny openings in the leaf surface that allow gas exchange.
- 3. — The main plant organ where photosynthesis occurs.
- 4. — Supports the plant and transports substances between roots and leaves.
- 6. — Process by which plants make glucose using light energy.
- 7. VAPOUR — The form of water lost from leaves during transpiration.
- 9. — Waxy layer on the leaf surface that reduces water loss.
- 10. CELLS — Specialised cells that open and close the stomata.
- 12. — Structure in a leaf containing xylem and phloem.
- 13. — Cell structure where photosynthesis takes place.
- 15. — The reproductive structure of many plants.
