Across
  1. 3. Transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.
  2. 4. dispersal A seed relocating away from the parent plant otherwise the parent plant will outcompete the offspring for light, space and nutrients.
  3. 7. It is a layer of actively dividing cells between the xylem and the phloem tissues that is responsible for secondary growth of stems and roots.
  4. 8. A permanent change to the shape of the active site of an enzyme so it can no longer catalyse reactions
  5. 9. factors Part of the photosynthesis reaction that is in short supply which prevents the rate of photosynthesis increasing further.
  6. 10. conditions Conditions that an enzyme works best at. Outside of these conditions the enzyme either works slowly or denatures
  7. 12. The process by which a seed grows to become a photosynthesising plant
  8. 15. The production of new cells to increase size.
  9. 16. Process where cells use glucose to form energy (ATP) for life processes (e.g. growth, repair, reproduction)
  10. 20. Growth Produces secondary tissues in the lateral meristems and is responsible for increasing the diameter of roots/stems and branches.
  11. 22. Is when the pollen from the anther of a flower on a plant is spread to the stigma of a flower on the same plant.
  12. 23. Is the process by which a parent cell is replicated to produce 2 daughter cells with the exact same genetics
Down
  1. 1. Is the transfer of pollen from the anther of a flower to the stigma of another flower of the same species.
  2. 2. The movement of water from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration across a semi-permeable membrane.
  3. 5. proteins that are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions
  4. 6. Is the fusing of the pollen nucleus (sperm) to the ovule nucleus to form a zygote.
  5. 11. growth: Produces primary tissues/cells in the apical meristems and is responsible for elongation - shoots and roots grow longer.
  6. 13. Is when the pollen from the anther of a flower from one plant is spread to the stigma of a flower on a different plant of the same species.
  7. 14. The process plants use to generate their own glucose to be used in the production of energy
  8. 17. reproduction Produces offspring from two parents through fertilisation. The offspring inherit a combination of DNA from both parents.
  9. 18. Transports food (sucrose & amino acids) from leaves to different parts of the plant.
  10. 19. reproduction Produces offspring through mitosis from a single parent. The offspring inherit the DNA of the single parent only.
  11. 21. Plant hormone that promotes growth in the roots, shoots and bud growth and is made in the apical meristems.
