Plant Transport system
Across
- 4. The part of the plant that absorbs water and minerals from the soil.
- 6. The plant structure that supports the plant and serves as the pathway for water and food.
- 7. Plant tissue that transports food made in the leaves to the rest of the plant.
- 12. The transport of soluble food material from one part of a plant to another.
- 13. The gas released by plants during photosynthesis.
- 15. Substances needed by plants for growth and development.
- 16. ACTION The ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, external forces like gravity.
- 17. The main site where photosynthesis takes place.
- 18. The movement of water, minerals, and food throughout the plant.
- 19. The substance absorbed by the roots and transported through the xylem.
- 20. Plant tissue that transports water and minerals from the roots to the leaves.
Down
- 1. The green pigment that captures sunlight for photosynthesis.
- 2. The process by which water vapor is released from the leaves.
- 3. Essential nutrients absorbed from the soil that help plants grow.
- 5. A strand of conducting vessels in the stem or leaves of a plant, typically with phloem on the outside and xylem on the inside.
- 8. Tiny openings on the surface of leaves that allow gas exchange.
- 9. The upward push of sap in the xylem of vascular plants, resulting from osmotic pressure in the roots.
- 10. The gas absorbed by plants during photosynthesis.
- 11. The process by which plants make food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
- 14. One of two specialized cells that border a stoma and regulate gas exchange and water loss.
