Across
- 4. green pigment found in certain plant cells that traps the sun's energy during the process of photosynthesis
- 7. microscopic holes through which plants "breathe" or exchange gasses - mostly located on the underside of the leaf
- 8. organ of the plant responsible for taking in water and nutrients from the soil
- 9. by-product of photosynthesis
- 11. dioxide gas that enters the stomata of the leaf
- 12. ultimate source of energy for photosynthesis
- 14. plant tissue that moves sugar down a plant from leaves to stem to root
- 15. middle layer of the leaf where photosynthesis occurs - cells contain chloroplasts
- 16. cell part, or organelle, responsible for the process of photosynthesis
- 20. raw materials, or reactants, needed for photosynthesis
- 21. organism that has to "consume" or eat other organisms for energy
Down
- 1. photosynthetic organism that "produces" it's own food - means the same as autotroph
- 2. plant tissue that moves water up a plant from roots to stems to leaves
- 3. process by which plants and plantlike organism use the sun's energy to produce sugar
- 5. areas of the plants where sugar is stored as simple sugars or starch
- 6. C6H12O6
- 10. products of photosynthesis
- 13. photosyntheticphytoplankton photosynthetic organisms in aquatic environments
- 17. main organ of photosynthesis in a plant
- 18. gas that exits the stomata of the leaf
- 19. pair of crescent shaped cells that open and close the stomata
