Across
- 1. – A cell formed when an egg (ovum) and a sperm come together during reproduction.
- 6. – A way plants make new plants without seeds, using parts like roots or stems (e.g., ginger).
- 8. – A flower that has all four main parts: sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils.
- 11. – The cells that open and close the stomata to control water loss.
- 16. – A factor that affects how much the stomata open during the day, increasing transpiration.
- 18. – A way plants make new plants using flowers and the joining of egg and sperm cells.
- 19. – A type of root that stores food; an example of a taproot.
Down
- 2. – The process where water evaporates from a plant’s leaves.
- 3. – The part of a plant that grows underground and absorbs water and nutrients.
- 4. – The movement of water through a membrane from a place of more water to less water.
- 5. – The plant tissue that carries water and minerals from the roots to the leaves.
- 7. – A flower that is missing either the male part (stamen) or female part (pistil), like a papaya flower.
- 9. – Affects how fast water evaporates from the plant; higher temperature means more transpiration.
- 10. – Roots that grow above the ground, often seen in orchids and other air plants.
- 11. – Water stored in the soil that plants absorb through their roots.
- 12. – Refers to how much water is in the air; less moisture makes plants lose water faster.
- 13. – The plant tissue that carries food (sugar) from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
- 14. – Small openings on the surface of leaves that let air and water in and out.
- 15. – The movement of particles from a place of high concentration to low concentration.
- 17. – Moves moist air away from the leaf surface, increasing water loss through transpiration.
