Plant Structures

2. the most common plant cells
6. the ground tissue towards the interior of the vascular tissue in a stem or root
9. waxy layer known that covers the leaves of all plant species to reduce the rate of water loss from the leaf surface
11. hair-like structures on the epidermal surface
12. cells have secondary cell walls that are thickened with deposits of lignin but many of them are dead at maturity
13. make and store other plant pigments
15. aerial stem modification that enables the plant to climb surfaces for support
17. transports water and nutrients in a plant while also providing support
19. membrane of the central vacuole

1. points of attachment for leaves, aerial roots, and flowers
2. membrane-bound organelles with their own DNA
3. control the opening and closing of stomata
4. region of continuous cell growth and cell division
5. arrangement of leaves on a stem
7. elongated cells with unevenly thickened walls that provide structural support
8. stalk that extends from stem to the base of the leaf
10. main root the grows vertically from which many smaller lateral roots arise
14. travels the length of the leaf and branches to each side producing veins of vascular tissue
16. waxy substance called that is present on the walls of the endodermal cells
18. outer layer of cork cells that protect woody plants from damage
