Across
- 7. evaporation through plants
- 9. a pigment that makes the leaves green
- 11. they are designed, like scissors, to make a cut
- 16. refers to a single layer of cells on the lower surface of the leaf that contains stomata and guard cells
- 18. the process that plants use to capture light for energy
- 19. type of plant that reproduces from seeds in cones
- 20. In plants, it is part of the mesophyll, where it forms a layer next to the palisade cells in the leaf.
Down
- 1. orange pigments in leaves
- 2. located beneath the upper epidermis
- 3. are plant cell organelles that convert light energy into relatively stable chemical energy via the photosynthetic process
- 4. reduces the rate of water loss from the leaf surface. Other leaves may have small hairs on the leaf surface
- 5. located in the leaf epidermis and pairs surround and form stomatal pores, which regulate CO2 influx from the atmosphere into the leaves for photosynthetic carbon fixation
- 6. yellow pigments in leaves
- 8. holes underneath the leaves
- 10. molecules that absorb color
- 12. conifers that have needle-like leaves
- 13. red and purple pigments in leaves
- 14. This is a single layer of cells containing few or no chloroplasts
- 15. allows gaseous exchange between the leaf and the outside atmosphere through the stomata
- 17. part of the transport system in vascular plants
