  1. 2. these provide a pathway for movement of water and food. They also support the leaves and reproductive structures.
  2. 9. transports sugar and nutrients from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
  3. 10. pores on the plant that allow for gas exchange and are responsible for transpiration.
  4. 11. These usually have both male and female parts for reproduction.
  5. 12. these can help plants reach water that is deep underground.
  6. 18. The process by which plants make their own food using water, energy from the sun, and carbon dioxide. This produces oxygen and glucose.
  7. 19. when a seed starts to grow.
  8. 22. These produce food for the plant, take in and release gases, and allow water to exit the plant.

  3. 4. the process of gases entering and exiting a plant.
  4. 5. plants need sunlight, carbon dioxide and __________ to make food.
  5. 6. The process of water moving across a membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.
  6. 7. Water evaporates from the leaves of the plants, leaving room for more water molecules to take their place. This helps the water travel up the plant.
  7. 8. tiny, finger-like parts of a root that allows roots to absorb more water.
  8. 13. Some plants are adapted to have colourful flowers that attract insects like bees. These insects ________ the plants as they go from flower to flower.
  9. 14. Plants produce this during photosynthesis, and it helps animals breathe.
  10. 15. tiny, green parts of a plant cell which contains chlorophyll.
  11. 16. transports water and mineral from the roots to the rest of the plant.
  12. 17. the part of the leaf that can be found in the center.
  13. 20. Absorbs water and minerals, and anchors the plant in the soil.
  14. 21. a type of stem that is flexible, weak and cannot grow upright on its own.
