Plant processes
Across
- 1. any changes in an organism's environment that cause a response
- 3. forms from tissue in a male reproductive structure of a seed plant
- 4. a plant's response to touch
- 8. a series of chemical reactions that convert the energy in food molecules into a usable form of energy called ATP
- 10. the ovary, and sometimes other parts of the flower, will develop into this, which contains one or more seeds
- 12. when the life cycle of an organism alternates between diploid and haploid generations
- 14. the vascular tissues that transport materials through a plant
- 17. substances that act as chemical messengers within plants
- 21. hormones produced in rapidly growing areas of a plant that increase the rate of cell division and elongation
- 23. the growth of a plant toward or away from light
- 24. plant hormone that causes increased growth
- 26. a thing at the base of the style which contains one or more ovules
- 27. the process during which a nucleus and its contents divide
- 28. a response that results in plant growth toward or away from a stimulus
Down
- 2. plants that flower when exposed to less than 10-12 hours of darkness per day
- 5. a flowerless seed plant
- 6. the pigment that absorbs light for photosynthesis
- 7. flowering plants
- 9. the daughter cells produced from haploid structures
- 11. plant hormone that helps stimulate the ripening of fruit
- 13. the male reproductive organ of a flower
- 15. a series of chemical reactions that convert light energy, water, and carbon dioxide into the food-energy molecule glucose and give off oxygen
- 16. hormones produced in root tips that increase the rate of cell division, and occasionally slow the aging process of flowers and fruit
- 17. the female reproductive organ of a flower
- 18. the female reproductive structure of a seed plant where the haploid egg develops
- 19. a plant's response to the number of hours of darkness in it's environment
- 20. an immature diploid plant that develops from the zygote
- 22. when pollen grains land on a female reproductive structure of a plant that is the same species as the pollen grains
- 25. a plant's response to gravity
- 29. made up of an embryo, its food supply, and a protective covering
