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