  3. 7. ________ cells provide protection and have other specialized adaptations in different plant organs.
  4. 9. It is the shoot support in areas of active growth.
  5. 12. It is usually found in the area between the base of a leaf and the stem where it can give rise to a branch or a flower.
  6. 13. _______ stems are soft and typically green.
  7. 14. It transports water, minerals, and sugars to different parts of the plant.
  8. 15. It is the growth region in plants found within the root tips and the tips of the new shoots and leaves.
