- 4. part of the plant that produces sugars
- 5. hormone that causes fruit to ripen
- 9. these are transported dissolved in water from the roots up the plant (7,4)
- 11. a directed response to a stimulus in plants
- 12. process by which sugars are transported through the plant
- 14. storage carbohydrate in plants
- 15. plant hormone that regulates the response of shoots and roots
- 17. carbohydrate found in plant cell walls
- 18. organelle present in high numbers in cells that are very metabolically active
- 20. hormone that stimulates germination
- 22. pores through which water vapour escapes
Down
- 1. equipment used to measure the rate at which water is lost from a leafy shoot
- 2. a vessel that is dead at maturity
- 6. the process by which water is lost from a plant
- 7. cells that actively pump sugar into and out of vessels
- 8. guard cells become this to open pores on the underside of the leaf
- 10. waterproof layer that limits water loss in plants
- 13. transport sugar in plants
- 16. part of the plant that requires sugars or stores them as carbohydrate
- 19. factor that affects the rate at which water is lost from a plant
- 21. cells in the shoot do this in response to a plant hormone
