Across
  1. 7. The state of a cell when it is full of water, causing the plant to be hard
  2. 8. A gas utilised during photosynthesis
  3. 9. The degree to which a stomata is open. The higher the ________, the more open the stoma
  4. 10. The type of variable that is placed on the y axis
  5. 12. The study of the structure and function
  6. 15. Type of pore or cavity that is located immediately proximal to stomata. It allows rapid diffusion
  7. 17. An opening between guard cells founds in the epidermis
  8. 18. A type of product that functions to reduce or stop transpiration
  9. 20. The phenomenon of water molecules sticking together
  10. 23. A single celled, transparent layer that has little to no chloroplasts
  11. 26. The name of the process that describes the movement of sucrose from sources to sinks
  12. 29. Type of mesophyll cell that is irregularly shaped and allows exchange of gases and water
  13. 30. Type of mesophyll cell that contains more chloroplasts than any other type of cell in the leaf
  14. 31. The tissue responsible for water movement
  15. 32. A substance or layer that allows liquids or gases to pass through it. The less ________, the less likely liquid or gas is to pass through it
Down
  1. 1. Type of cell found in epidermis that controls the opening and closing of stomata
  2. 2. A by-product of photosynthesis
  3. 3. Plants with stomata on the _______ epidermis are often found in water environments due to increased water loss
  4. 4. The tissue responsible for sucrose movement
  5. 5. A word that describes a hot and dry region, commonly associated with the desert
  6. 6. The difference between the amount of ions in one region as compared to another (2 words)
  7. 7. The process of water movement through a plant and to the areas where it is evaporated
  8. 11. The amount of water vapour in the air
  9. 13. The name given to sites that sucrose is delivered to
  10. 14. The diffusion of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane
  11. 16. Outmost layer of the leaf that functions to protect and prevent water loss (2 words)
  12. 19. The process of converting light energy into "plant food"
  13. 21. When water molecules stick to the walls of the xylem vessels
  14. 22. A type of stomata that is lowered and functions to decrease water loss, increase relative humidity around the stomata and shield stomata from wind
  15. 24. The movement of molecules from a high concentration to low concentration
  16. 25. The state of a cell when it lacks water, causing the plant to be floppy
  17. 27. The green pigment which is responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis
  18. 28. A site of photosynthesis
