Plant Science

4. – Green pigment in plant cells that absorbs light for photosynthesis.
7. – Tiny openings on leaves that allow gas exchange.
8. – Organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs.
10. – Large storage sac in plant cells that holds water and helps maintain cell shape.
13. – Plant structures that absorb water and nutrients and anchor the plant in soil.
16. – Process where sperm and egg cells join to form a seed.

1. – Process by which a seed begins to grow into a plant.
2. – A trait that helps a plant survive in its environment.
3. – Vascular tissue that transports water and minerals from roots to leaves.
5. – Plant organs where most photosynthesis takes place.
6. – Plant part that supports the plant and transports water and nutrients.
9. – Transfer of pollen from the male part of a flower to the female part.
11. Wall – Rigid outer layer of plant cells that provides support and protection.
12. – Process by which water vapor is released from plant leaves.
14. – Vascular tissue that transports food (sugars) throughout the plant.
15. – Process by which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make food (glucose).
