Across
- 1. an organic compound that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells
- 6. the male reproductive organ of a flower
- 8. the tissue of vascular plants that transports water and nutrients from the soil to the stems and leaves
- 10. A chemical process in which oxygen is used to make energy from carbohydrates (sugars).
- 14. a response that cause an organism to grow towards or away from something
- 15. contains more than 1 seeds
- 16. a diploid cell resulting from the fusion of two haploid gametes; a fertilized ovum.
- 18. a pore found in the epidermis of leaves, stems, and other organs, that controls the rate of gas exchange.
- 19. substances that act as chemical messengers within plants
- 23. holds ovules
- 24. the part of a stamen that contains the pollen.
- 25. A colorless, odorless gas used by plants
- 26. a thing or event that evokes a specific functional reaction in an organ or tissue.
- 27. the natural compound present in green plants that gives them their color. It helps plants to absorb energy from the sun as they undergo the process of photosynthesis.
- 28. any changes in an organism's environment that triggers a response.
- 29. the female reproductive structure of where the haploid egg develops
- 30. the process through which plants turn sunlight into food/energy
Down
- 2. the female reproductive organ of a flower
- 3. occurs when the life cycle of an organism alternates between diploid and haploid generations
- 4. the vascular tissue in plants that conducts sugars and other metabolic products downward from the leaves.
- 5. The thin stalk that supports the anther in the male portion of the flower.
- 7. a simple sugar which is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates.
- 9. any colored material found in a plant or animal cell.
- 11. an immature diploid plant that develops from the zygote
- 12. a plant's response to the number of hours of darkness it is exposed to
- 13. occurs when pollen grains land on a female reproductive structure of a plant that is the same species as the pollen grains
- 17. a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
- 19. forms from tissue in a male reproductive structure of a plant
- 20. the daughter cells produced from haploid structures
- 21. an inorganic compound with the chemical formula H₂O.
