Across
- 3. one of the cells that surround a stoma on a plant leaf and control the opening and closing of a stoma
- 4. the lower layer of leaf tissue consisting of loosely packed cells that carry photosynthesis and have many air pockets in them
- 5. a noncellular protective covering over leaves and young stems
- 7. a region on a stem where a leaf is attached
- 10. a structure containing vascular tissues in leaf blades
- 12. openings between guard cells that allow water vapors and gases to pass into and out of the leaf
- 14. a root system with a cluster of roots with the same size and are lacking a taproot
- 15. a vascular tissue made of long, hollow cells that carry water and dissolved minerals upward in a plant
Down
- 1. the upper layer of leaf tissue that contains tall, thin, closely packed cells that carry most of photosynthesis
- 2. a root system with thicker and longer than the other roots of a plant
- 6. the release of water from plant leaves through the stoma
- 8. the growth of plants in response to external stimuli
- 9. a vascular tissue that carries dissolved food in a plant
