Across
  1. 4. Transport system in plants that carriers substances made by photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts. Moves in many directions.
  2. 5. The inner tissue of a leaf, containing many chloroplasts.
  3. 8. Impermeable, waxy substance found in the cell walls of corky tissues
  4. 9. Tissue made of dead, lignified cells. Adds strength in stems.
  5. 12. The movement of materials from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
  6. 16. Outer layer of a stem or root in a plant, lying below the epidermis but outside of the vascular bundles. Composed mostly of thin-walled parenchyma cells.
  7. 17. A strong waterproof material found on the walls of vessel element cells.
  8. 18. Made up of thin-walled cells. Forms the cortex in roots and the pith in stems. Contains chloroplasts in leaves.
  9. 19. Thin portions of the cell wall that adjacent cells can communicate or exchange fluid through.
  10. 20. Areas in need of nutrients, such as growing tissues.
Down
  1. 1. Nutrient rich regions that supply sugars for the rest of the plant. Normally leaves, but stems and roots can act as them when there's a high supply of sugars.
  2. 2. Modified form of parenchyma with extra cellulose deposited at the corners of the cells.
  3. 3. A plant which needs very little water, such as a cactus
  4. 6. Continuous layer on the outside of plants that is one cell thick. Covered in a cuticle on stems and leaves, and contains stomata on leaves.
  5. 7. A strand of conducting vessels in the stem or leaves of a plant, typically with phloem on the outside and xylem on the inside.
  6. 10. Symbiotic association between a fungus and a plant.
  7. 11. A one-cell thick layer surrounding the vascular tissue in stems and roots.
  8. 13. Waxy, protective film covering covering the epidermis on leaves and stems that limits the amount of water that transpires from the plant. Consists of lipids.
  9. 14. Pores in the epidermis on leaves, which allow entry of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.
  10. 15. Transport system in plants that carriers water and inorganic ions, such as mineral salts, from the roots to parts above. Moves in one direction.
