Across
- 5. New growth is distorted or dies back; essential for cell wall structure.
- 8. Plants may appear purple; important for root and flower development.
- 9. Death of growing points; important for cell division and pollination.
- 11. Yellowing similar to nitrogen deficiency; helps convert nitrogen into usable forms.
- 15. Interveinal chlorosis on older leaves; central atom in chlorophyll.
- 16. Older leaves turn yellow first; promotes leafy green growth.
Down
- 1. Yellowing of younger leaves first; needed to build proteins.
- 2. Twisted young leaves; helps with reproductive growth.
- 3. Leaf edges turn brown or scorched; helps regulate water and stress tolerance.
- 4. Shortened internodes (“rosetting”); important for growth hormones.
- 6. Obtained from the air; backbone of all organic molecules.
- 7. Wilting and chlorosis; involved in photosynthesis and water balance.
- 10. Comes from water; essential for photosynthesis and plant structure.
- 12. Interveinal chlorosis with small brown spots; activates enzymes.
- 13. Interveinal chlorosis on young leaves; required for chlorophyll production.
- 14. Poor seed viability; needed for nitrogen metabolism in very small amounts.
