Across
  1. 3. metabolically active generalized plant cellular tissue, typically soft and succulent and packed between more specialized structures.
  2. 4. modified parenchyma tissue in which the corners of cells have extra cellulose thickening for support (e.g., midribs of leaves).
  3. 7. tall, pillar-like mesophyll tissue near the upper surface of a leaf.
  4. 9. a protective and waxy or hard layer covering the epidermis of a plant.
  5. 11. specialized parenchyma cells containing chloroplasts between the upper and lower epidermal cells of leaf.
  6. 12. vascular plant tissue responsible for support and transport of water through a plant
Down
  1. 1. mesophyll tissue near the bottom surface of a leaf with large air spaces.
  2. 2. a strand of conducting vessels in the stem or leaves of a plant, typically with the phloem on the outside and the xylem in the inside
  3. 3. a thin layer of plant tissue between the endodermis and the phloem.
  4. 5. an inner layer of cells in the cortex of a root and of some stems, surrounding a vascular bundle.
  5. 6. the outer layer of tissue in a plant, except where it is replaced by periderm tissue (e.g., bark).
  6. 8. strengthening tissue in a plant, formed from dead cells with thickened, typically lignified, walls.
  7. 9. a thin formative layer between the xylem and phloem of most vascular plants that gives rise to new cells and is responsible for secondary growth.
  8. 10. vascular plant tissue responsible for translocation of assimilates such as sucrose through a plant.
