Across
- 6. - The female reproductive part of a flower that includes the stigma, style, and ovary.
- 10. - The process by which a seed develops into a new plant.
- 11. - A small, non-vascular plant that typically grows in dense green clumps in damp environments.
- 12. - The reproductive structure in flowering plants, often colorful and fragrant.
- 15. - A non-flowering plant that reproduces via spores rather than seeds.
- 18. - The main structural support of a plant, holding it upright and transporting nutrients.
- 19. - Trees or plants that lose their leaves annually.
- 20. - A plant with thick, fleshy tissues adapted to store water.
- 22. - A plant's growth response to environmental stimuli, such as light or gravity.
- 23. - A plant that has flowers and produces seeds enclosed within a carpel.
- 25. - Tiny openings on the surface of leaves that allow gas exchange.
- 26. - A fertilized ovule that contains the embryo of a future plant.
- 27. - The arrangement of veins in a leaf.
- 28. - Plant tissue that transports water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves.
Down
- 1. - Plants with soft, non-woody stems, often dying down to the ground after flowering.
- 2. - Plants that retain their leaves year-round, even in winter.
- 3. - A plant that has seeds unprotected by an ovary or fruit, like conifers.
- 4. - The part of the flower that develops into fruit after fertilization.
- 5. - Simple, non-flowering aquatic plants that produce oxygen through photosynthesis.
- 6. - The tissue in plants that transports sugars and other metabolic products downward from the leaves.
- 7. - The flat, typically green part of a plant where photosynthesis occurs.
- 8. - A symbiotic relationship between a fungus and an alga or cyanobacterium.
- 9. - The transfer of pollen from the male part of a plant to the female part for fertilization.
- 13. - A horizontal underground stem that sends out roots and shoots from its nodes.
- 14. - The part of a plant that attaches it to the ground and absorbs water and nutrients.
- 16. - Powdery grains containing male gametes that fertilize plants.
- 17. - The process by which plants convert sunlight into energy.
- 21. - The green pigment in plants that is essential for photosynthesis.
- 24. - A reproductive cell capable of developing into a new organism without sexual fusion, common in ferns and fungi.
- 26. - The male reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of an anther and filament.
