Across
  1. 3. – scientific study of plants.
  2. 6. – Root ___ are tiny extensions of root cells that increase surface area for water absorption.
  3. 7. The ___ Fly trap is a famously semi-carnivorous plant
  4. 9. – a plant that completes its life cycle in two growing seasons.
  5. 10. – vascular tissue that transports sugars and other organic compounds throughout the plant.
  6. 12. – part of the stamen that produces pollen.
  7. 15. – the stalk that attaches a leaf blade to the plant stem.
  8. 18. – plant hormone that regulates growth, especially root and bud development.
  9. 23. – the union of male and female reproductive cells in plants to form a seed.

Down
  1. 1. – small pores on leaves and stems that allow gases to enter and leave the plant.
  2. 2. – a flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed within a fruit.
  3. 4. – a plant that completes its life cycle in one growing season.
  4. 5. – process of water evaporating from plant leaves through stomata.
  5. 8. – leaflike structure that protects a flower bud before it opens.
  6. 11. the broad, flat part of a plant that captures sunlight.
  7. 13. – the reproductive structure of a plant where seeds are produced.
  8. 14. – one of the often colorful parts of a flower that attract pollinators.
  9. 16. – protective outer covering of a woody stem or trunk.
  10. 17. – female reproductive part of a flower, including stigma, style, and ovary.
  11. 19. – vascular tissue that transports water and dissolved nutrients from roots upward.
  12. 20. – a seed plant that produces “naked” seeds not enclosed in a fruit.
  13. 21. – waxy outer layer on leaves that helps reduce water loss.
  14. 22. – male reproductive organ of a flower, typically consisting of anther and filament.
  15. 25. – transfer of pollen from male to female flower parts so fertilization can occur.
  16. 26. – structure containing a plant embryo and stored food that can grow into a new plant.
  17. 27. fine dust‑like grains produced by the male parts of seed plants that contain the male reproductive material
  18. 30. – process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
  19. 32. – the mature ovary of a flowering plant that contains seeds.
