Down
- 1. vascular tissue in plants that conducts sugars & metabolic products downward from the leaves
- 3. DNA's full name
- 5. organelle containing genetic material, nuclear botties and nucleoplasm
- 6. specialized cell division to produce haploid cells in plants
- 8. tissue strengthened by the thickening of cell walls, as in young shoots
- 10. in the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane containing fluid
- 12. tiny holes on a leaf that allow for gas exchange
- 13. the cellular tissue, typically soft and succulent
- 16. strengthening tissue in a plant, formed from cells with thick walls
- 17. Cells undergo this to form new cells
- 19. plant epidermis, the outer layer of tissue that surrounds the primary body of vascular plants
