Across
  1. 2. A waxy substance found in the Casparian strip of endodermal cells that prevents water loss.
  2. 5. Small openings on leaves where gas exchange and water loss occur.
  3. 7. A detailed sketch showing cell structures under high magnification.
  4. 9. The attraction between water molecules, allowing them to stick together.
  5. 11. The system in plants consisting of xylem and phloem, responsible for the transport of water, nutrients, and sugars.
  6. 13. Tissue that transports water and minerals from roots to leaves.
  7. 15. Tissue responsible for transporting sugars from leaves to the rest of the plant.
  8. 17. Layer of tightly packed cells in the leaf where most photosynthesis happens.
  9. 20. Movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from high to low water potential.
  10. 21. The attraction between water molecules and cell walls, helping water move upward in the xylem.
  11. 23. Layer of cells just inside the endodermis that can produce lateral roots.
  12. 24. Specialized endodermal cells that allow water movement into the vascular tissue.
  13. 25. The main vein in a leaf that supports the structure and provides a path for transport.
  14. 26. A sketch that shows the overall structure of plant tissues at low magnification.
  15. 28. The process by which water evaporates from plant leaves, creating a pulling force.
  16. 29. The layer of meristematic tissue within vascular bundles that contributes to secondary growth.
  17. 30. A type of plant tissue with thick, lignified cell walls providing strength.
Down
  1. 1. A thin area in the cell wall of xylem cells allowing water to move between them.
  2. 3. The innermost layer of cells in the root cortex, containing the Casparian strip
  3. 4. A rigid substance in cell walls that provides support to vascular plants.
  4. 5. Pathway of transport through the cytoplasm of cells connected by plasmodesmata.
  5. 6. Basic plant tissue type involved in storage, photosynthesis, and tissue repair.
  6. 8. Cambium located between vascular bundles, contributing to secondary growth.
  7. 10. A waterproof band in the endodermis that controls water movement into the xylem.
  8. 12. Plant tissue with thicker cell walls providing flexible support.
  9. 14. The outer layer of cells in plants that provides protection.
  10. 16. The tissue inside leaves where photosynthesis primarily occurs.
  11. 18. Pathway of transport through cell walls and intercellular spaces.
  12. 19. The potential energy of water, driving its movement through the plant.
  13. 22. The change of water from liquid to gas, which drives transpiration.
  14. 27. The layer of cells between the epidermis and the vascular tissue.
