Plant Transport

2. Structure formed by xylem + phloem
4. Pores on the surface of the leaf that control gas exchange by opening and closing and are involved in loss of water from leaves
6. Vascular bundles are located around the outer edge of this plant organ
7. Leaves will collapse and droop to reduce the surface area for evaporation if a plant loses water faster than it takes in
11. The constant flow of water from the roots of a plant, through the xylem and out of the leaves
12. Vessel made of dead tissue responsible for transporting water and mineral ions from the roots to the stem, leaves and flowers
13. A reaction that uses light energy to produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water
17. Small holes in the end wall of a phloem cell which allows dissolved sugars to pass through
19. The transport of dissolved sugars around a plant
20. When the stomata are open, water will evaporate into this part of the leaf to create a concentration gradient for water vapour to diffuse out of the leaf
21. waterproof layer of the leaf

1. Mineral ions enter root hair cells via this process
3. A substance that provides strength and support to the xylem cell wall
5. The parts of a plant where new cells are made
8. The mineral ion that plants need to make DNA and cell membranes
9. When there is lots of water, these cells will swell and become turgid, opening the stomata, and become floppy and close the stomata when they lose water
10. water enters the root hair cells via this process
14. Carbon dioxide can enter the stomata for photosynthesis and water vapour can move out of the leaf to the air via this process
15. The process in which a liquid changes state and turns into a gas
16. The loss of water from a plants leaves
18. Vessel that transports dissolved sugars and other soluble molecules like amino acids around the plant
