Plants and Fungi
Across
- 2. Angiosperm whose seeds have two cotyledons
- 3. Specialized structure in gymnosperms that forms male or female cones
- 6. Modified underground stem swollen with stored food
- 9. Structure that attaches the leaf blade to the stem
- 10. Primary plant root that grows longer and thicker than other roots
- 11. Vascular tissue that provides support in plants and conducts water to all parts of the plant
- 12. Thick, fleshy creeping stem that grows either on or just beneath the surface of the ground
- 15. Vascular tissue responsible for the transport of nutrients and the products of photosynthesis throughout the plant
- 17. Angiosperm whose seeds have one cotyledon
- 19. Reproductive structure in an angiosperm
- 20. Large leaf of a fern
Down
- 1. Tiny sac in which fungal spores develop in ascomycetes
- 4. Round underground stem that stores food and is surrounded with thin leaves for protection
- 5. Organism at an early stage of development
- 7. Thick mass of tangled filaments that make up the body of a fungus
- 8. Opening in the leaf epidermis through which water vapour and oxygen exit the plant and carbon dioxide enters into it
- 13. Branching filament that makes up a fungus
- 14. In fungi, thick-walled zygote formed during sexual reproduction in zygomycetes
- 16. Symbiotic relationship between a fungus and a photosynthetic organism
- 18. Cell in xylem tissue that conducts water and gives strength to the plant
