Plant Structures
Across
- 2. Pollen is produced here
- 4. Vascular tissue that transports water; also known as sapwood in trees
- 5. Tissue that produces new xylem and phloem
- 6. The young plant that develops from the zygote
- 7. Structures in which food is made
- 10. carries substances between the plant's roots and leaves, provides support for the plant
- 11. Waxy layers that help plant reduces water loss
- 12. Occurs when the embryo begins to grow again and pushing out of the seed
- 14. Consists of many similarly sized roots, forming a dense tangled mass, Onions are examples
- 15. Fertilized egg
- 16. The transfer of pollen from male reproductive structures to female reproductive structures
- 17. Vascular tissue that transports food
- 20. Type of stem that is often soft, example ivy
- 23. Protects the seeds as they develop
- 24. Protects the root as it grows through the soil
- 25. Leaflike parts of a flower, protect the developing flower
- 27. Hard to pull out of the ground, Cacti are examples
Down
- 1. Male reproductive part of a flower
- 2. Represent a year of growth in a tree, made from xylem
- 3. Slender tube, connects the stigma to a hollow structure at the base of the flower
- 5. Outer bark that protects the cells inside
- 8. Female reproductive part of a flower
- 9. Scattering of seeds by either animals or the wind
- 13. Type of stem that is hard and rigid, like in most trees.
- 14. Reproductive structure of an angiosperm
- 18. Acts like plastic wrap, protecting the embryo and its food from drying out
- 19. Usually the most colorful parts of the flower, pollinators are attracted to their color and sent
- 20. Old, inactive xylem that helps support the tree
- 21. Anchor a plant in the ground, absorb water and minerals from the soil, and sometimes store food
- 22. Pores that control when gases enter of leave the leaf
- 26. Capture the sun’s energy and carry out the food-making process of photosynthesis
