Vascular Transport

4. Part of a plant where most photosynthesis and sugar production occur.
5. Substance that moves upward through xylem.
7. Outermost layer of cells that protects the plant and reduces water loss.
8. Flexible, living cells with uneven cell walls that support growing parts of the plant
10. Loss of water vapor through leaf stomata that helps pull water upward.
14. Substance produced in leaves and moved by phloem to feed the plant.
16. Type of lateral meristem that adds layers of xylem and phloem to stems and roots.
18. Most common type of plant cell; used for storage and photosynthesis.

1. Lateral meristem that produces bark and protects woody stems.
2. Vascular tissue that carries water and minerals from roots to the rest of the plant.
3. Plate with tiny pores that allows sugars to move between phloem cells.
6. Thick, rigid, dead cells that give strength and structure to the plant.
9. Region of the plant where cells are actively dividing for growth.
11. Type of meristem that adds length to roots and stems.
12. Tiny hairlike growth on a leaf or stem that helps reduce water loss or protect the plant.
13. cell Cell that opens and closes the stomata to control water loss.
15. Long, tapered xylem cell with pits that allow water to pass through.
17. Small openings in leaves that let gases in and out.
18. Vascular tissue that carries sugars and other nutrients through the plant.
