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