Across
- 1. A substance that strengthens the walls of certain plant cells, especially in the xylem.
- 4. How plants move sugars and other solutes from where they're produced to where they're needed.
- 5. Refers to the amount of water vapour present in the air.
- 7. Pores on a leaf's surface that allow for the exchange of gases.
- 9. The region of active cell division in plants, leading to growth. Where plant stem cells are found.
- 11. Responsible for transporting sugars and nutrients throughout the plant.
- 13. The passive movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane, from a dilute to a more concentrated solution.
- 15. The layer in a leaf where most photosynthesis occurs due to its chloroplast-rich cells.
- 16. Part of a phloem cell with many pores, facilitating movement between cells.
- 17. Tissue responsible for transporting water in plants, often from roots to leaves.
Down
- 1. The brightness of light affecting the rate of photosynthesis in plants.
- 2. Specialised for absorbing water and nutrients from the soil.
- 3. The process of water movement through a plant, often resulting in evaporation from leaves.
- 6. This part of the leaf has many air gaps, aiding in gas exchange.
- 8. Influences the rate of water loss from leaves, impacting transpiration.
- 10. The outermost layer of cells in a leaf.
- 12. Liquid stored in plant cell vacuoles containing various solutes.
- 14. Found surrounding the plant's gas exchange pores.
