  4. 7. The vascular tissue found inside the phloem.
  5. 10. The gas released by plants during photosynthesis.
  6. 14. Supports the plant and transports water, minerals, and food.
  7. 17. The plant organ that usually contains chlorophyll.
  8. 18. The gas absorbed by plants for photosynthesis.
  9. 19. The upward movement of water from the roots to the leaves.
  10. 20. The simple sugar produced during photosynthesis.
  11. 21. The process by which water evaporates from the leaves.
  12. 23. The movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane.

  2. 3. The continuous flow of water from the roots to the leaves.
  3. 4. The green pigment that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.
  4. 8. Anchors the plant to the ground and absorbs water and minerals from the soil.
  5. 9. The process by which roots take in water and minerals.
  6. 11. The force that helps pull water upward through the xylem.
  7. 12. The movement of gases into and out of the leaf.
  8. 13. The vascular tissue found outside the xylem.
  9. 15. The vascular tissue responsible for transporting water and minerals.
