2. Living vascular tissue that carries sugar and organic substances throughout a plant.
4. The process of cutting away a ring of inner and outer bark all the way around a tree trunk.
5. Nonliving vascular tissue that carries water and dissolved minerals from the roots of a plant to its leaves.
7. The parts of a plant (such as flowers, fruits and seeds) involved in reproduction.
8. A plant that loses its leaves for winter.
12. Cells that have not specialized in any particular function.
14. The characteristics of the leaf edge.
15. Plants that live for only one year.
16. Plants that live for two years.
17. The study of plants.

1. In alternation of generations, the generation that occupies the largest portion of the life cycle.
3. A life cycle in which there is both a multicellular diploid form and a multicellular haploid form.
6. The parts of a plant (such as stems, roots and leaves) that are not involved in reproduction
9. A "seed leaf" which develops as a part of the seed. It provides nutrients to the developing seedling and eventually becomes the first leaf of the plant.
10. The arrangement of leaves on the stem of a plant.
11. Plants that grow year after year.
13. A fine dust that contains the sperm of seed-producing plants.
