Across
  1. 3. The process by which monomers join together to form a polymer, such as in the formation of starch from glucose.
  2. 6. A stack of thylakoids within a chloroplast.
  3. 8. The simplest form of sugar, consisting of a single sugar molecule (e.g., glucose, fructose).
  4. 9. A type of plastid in plant cells that stores starch.
  5. 10. The vascular tissue in plants responsible for transporting nutrients (especially sugars) from leaves to other parts.
  6. 11. A leaf that has different colors or patterns, often due to the presence of different pigments.
  7. 15. A small, granule-like structure where starch is stored in plant cells.
  8. 16. A form of asexual reproduction in plants where new individuals arise from vegetative parts (e.g., stems, roots).
  9. 17. The sum of all chemical reactions that occur within an organism, including energy production and consumption.
  10. 22. The process by which a seed develops into a new plant, beginning with the absorption of water and sprouting.
  11. 23. The nutrient-rich fluid transported through the phloem in plants, containing sugars and other organic compounds.
Down
  1. 1. The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
  2. 2. A carbohydrate made up of many monosaccharide units linked together (e.g., starch, cellulose).
  3. 4. The organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs, containing chlorophyll.
  4. 5. The fluid-filled space inside chloroplasts.
  5. 7. A chemical process that breaks down a compound by adding water, often used to break down polymers into monomers.
  6. 12. The green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.
  7. 13. A complex carbohydrate made of many glucose units, used by plants for energy storage.
  8. 14. A substance that gives color to plant tissues and absorbs light for photosynthesis.
  9. 18. The process by which seeds are spread away from the parent plant to reduce competition and promote growth.
  10. 19. The membrane-bound structures within chloroplasts.
  11. 20. A series of connected cells in the phloem that facilitate the transport of elaborated sap.
  12. 21. The porous structure at the end of sieve tube cells that allows for the flow of sap between cells.
