Across
- 3. the most common type of plant cell that stores starch, oils, and water for the plant
- 5. the vascular tissue that carries the products of photosynthesis through the plant
- 7. root system made up of many threadlike members of more or less equal length
- 8. undifferentiated plant tissue from which new cells are formed
- 9. provides support and stores materials in roots and stems
- 13. growth in woody plants resulting in wider roots, branches, and stems
- 14. has cell walls that range from thin to thick, providing support while still allowing the plant to grow
- 15. broad part of a leaf where most of the photosynthesis of a plant takes place
- 17. covers the outside of a plant and protects it
- 19. transports water, mineral nutrients, and organic compounds to all parts of the plant
- 22. the loss of water vapor from plants
- 23. the center of the root which is made of xylem and phloem tissues
Down
- 1. proposes that the physical properties of water allow the rise of water through a plant
- 2. photosynthetic tissue of a leaf, located between the upper and lower epidermis
- 4. a theory that explains how food, or sap, moves through a plant
- 6. surround each stoma and can open and close by changing shape
- 10. small cone of cells that protects the growing part of the root as it pushes through the soil
- 11. the strongest plant cell type that has a second cell wall that is hardened by lignin
- 12. the vascular tissue that carries water and dissolved mineral nutrients up from the roots to the rest of the plant
- 16. tiny projections of an epidermal cell of a plant root that absorbs water and minerals from the soil
- 18. stalk that attaches a leaf blade to a stem
- 20. main root of some plants, usually larger than other roots and growing straight down from a stem
- 21. growth in vascular plants resulting in elongation of the plant body
