Across
  1. 3. Microscopic holes in leaves that allow CO2 to enter the leaf and O2 to exit.
  2. 9. A baby plant with its own food supply.
  3. 11. What pollen is attached to.
  4. 12. Tubes that transport water from the roots to the leaves to be used in photosynthesis.
  5. 14. This means "outer skin" in Latin.
  6. 15. When pollen from one flower meets an egg (ovule) in another flower.
  7. 16. The process when water activates (wakes up) a seed and it grows a root.
  8. 18. The sweet syrup that flowers make to attract pollinators.
  9. 21. The plant cell organelle that photosynthesis occurs in.
  10. 25. These are the brightly colored part of a flower that attracts pollinators.
  11. 26. The green pigment in chloroplasts that captures the light energy.
  12. 27. The ability to do work. All living things need/use it.
  13. 28. These provide nutrients and water to the seed until they are ready to germinate. Also they taste good!
Down
  1. 1. Where the egg cells (called ovules) in a plant are located.
  2. 2. A sugar/food (C6H12O6) produced by plants during photosynthesis that provides energy to the plant.
  3. 3. A plant with many leaves, but no flowers or fruits.
  4. 4. Plants breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out this gas.
  5. 5. These cells open and close the stomata.
  6. 6. When an egg cell and sperm cell combine.
  7. 7. The reproductive organ of a plant.
  8. 8. Tubes that transport food (glucose/sugar) from the leaves to the rest of the plant to be used for energy.
  9. 10. A stem with 2 leaves.
  10. 13. This means "middle leaf" in Latin.
  11. 17. A process that converts light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
  12. 19. The waxy outer coating of a leaf. Careful! Sometimes it is toxic!
  13. 20. Plant sperm.
  14. 22. The part of the plant where photosynthesis occurs.
  15. 23. It holds the leaves/plant up.
  16. 24. This is what the roots carry to the leaves to be used in photosynthesis.
