Across
- 7. in plants, a bundle composed of both xylem and phloem; also called a vein
- 8. in plants, the type of vascular tissue that transports food in the form of sugars from leaves to the rest of the plant
- 10. all the tissues in a plant that are not dermal, meristematic, or vascular tissue
- 12. a vascular plant that produces flower and fruits with seeds
- 16. a plant reproductive strategy that includes alternating spore-forming and gamete-forming stages
- 20. a nonvascular plant in the group that includes mosses, hornworts, and liverworts
- 21. a waxy protective coating, secreted by the epidermal cells of a plant, on the surface of stems, leaves, and fruits
- 22. that transports food in the form of sugars from the leaves to the rest of the plant
- 23. in plants, the outer layer of cells that usually lack chlorophyll and serve for protection, including the secretion of the cuticle
- 24. in woody plants, a thick, tough layer of dead epidermal cells that supports the weight of the plant

- 6. the broad part of a plant leaf
- 9. the region between nodes on a plant stem
- 11. a vascular plant that produces unenclosed seeds, usually in cones
- 13. in plants, the tissue that transports water and nutrients throughout the plant
- 14. a small opening in the underside of a leaf that regulates gas exchange
- 15. a point along a plant stem where a leaf, branch, or flower is produced
- 17. in plants, the type of vascular tissue that transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant
