Across
  1. 2. Plants that store water in fleshy tissues like stems or leaves.
  2. 5. Cells surrounding the stomata that control their opening and closing.
  3. 7. Plants adapted to living in wet environments.
  4. 10. Process of maintaining internal balance, like water regulation.
  5. 13. Hormone that causes stomatal closure under water stress.
  6. 14. High levels of this reduce the rate of transpiration.
  7. 15. Desert succulent eaten by Aboriginal people for its moisture.
  8. 17. Plants adapted to living in dry environments.
Down
  1. 1. Plants adapted to living in moderately wet conditions.
  2. 3. Occurs when guard cells lose turgor and stomata close.
  3. 4. Water loss through stomata.
  4. 6. Plant tissue that transports water from roots to leaves.
  5. 8. Leaf coating that reduces evaporation and reflects sunlight.
  6. 9. Drives water into guard cells to keep them turgid.
  7. 11. Leaf pores for gas exchange and water loss regulation.
  8. 12. The process reduced by waxy or hairy leaf surfaces.
  9. 16. Environmental condition triggering ABA production and stomatal closure.
