Across
- 4. photosynthetic organism that "produces" it's own food - means the same as autotroph
- 7. organism that has to "consume" or eat other organisms for energy
- 9. C6H12O6
- 10. ultimate source of energy for photosynthesis
- 11. process by which plants and plantlike organisms use the sun's energy to produce sugar
- 12. plant tissue that moves water up a plant from roots to stems to leaves
- 13. gas that enters the stomata of the leaf
- 16. main organ of photosynthesis in a plant
- 17. cell part, or organelle, responsible for the process of photosynthesis
- 18. middle layer of the leaf where photosynthesis occurs - cells contain chloroplasts
Down
- 1. raw materials, or reactants, needed for photosynthesis
- 2. photosynthetic organisms in aquatic environments
- 3. pair of crescent shaped cells that open and close the stomata
- 5. areas of the plants where sugar is stored as simple sugars or starch
- 6. by-product of photosynthesis
- 8. products of photosynthesis
- 10. microscopic holes through which plants "breathe" or exchange gasses - mostly located on the underside of the leaf
- 11. plant tissue that moves sugar down a plant from leaves to stem to root
- 13. green pigment found in certain plant cells that traps the sun's energy during the process of photosynthesis
- 14. gas that exits the stomata of the leaf
- 15. organ of the plant responsible for taking in water and nutrients from the soil
