Plant Tissues and Organs
Across
- 3. Movement of sugar through the phloem is called -------------. (13)
- 5. Internal cells of the leaf which can be either palisade or spongy. (9)
- 8. Root hair cells have lots of these to release energy for active transport. (12)
- 10. The plant leaf has a lower and an ----- epidermis. (5)
- 11. Type of cell which absorbs water from the soil (4,4)
- 13. The phloem carry this from the leaves to other parts of the plant. (5)
- 14. Tubes which carry dissolved sugars from the leaves to the rest of the plant. (6)
- 17. Mesophyll layer which has cells crammed full of chloroplasts for photosynthesis. (8)
- 19. Mesophyll layer which has lots of air spaces for gas exchange. (6)
- 20. Small holes in the leaves which allow gas exchange to occur. (7)
Down
- 1. Movement of water up the plant in the xylem is called -------------.(13)
- 2. tubes which carry water and minerals up the plant from the roots to the leaves. (5)
- 4. A waxy layer on top of the leaf which reduces water loss (7)
- 6. Small holes in the end plates of the phloem cell walls which allow sugar to move through. (12)
- 7. This material strengthens xylem cells and stops them from collapsing. (6)
- 9. Xylem cells are ------ to allow free flow of water. (6)
- 12. layer of tissue which forms the surface of the plant. (9)
- 15. The xylem carry this up the plant to the leaves. (5)
- 16. Type of tissue which is used for growth of new roots and leaves. (8)
- 18. Also taken up from the soil by the roots as well as water. (8)
