- 2. process by which plants use sunlight to produce foods from carbon dioxide and water.
- 8. tissue that carries water and material through the plant. Function like blood vessels in animals. 2 types.
- 9. plant system that absorbs water and minerals.
- 12. cells that can develop into any tissue a plant needs.
- 14. collection of tissues specialized to perform a particular function. plants have 2 types.
- 15. ground tissue storing starches and oils and involved in metabolism.
- 19. a collection of similar cells performing an organized function for the plant. (4 types)
- 23. organs of a plant not involved in reproduction, (stems, roots, leaves).
- 24. The process by which a single parent cell divides to make two new daughter cells.
- 25. dead ground tissue that provides support and protection.
- 27. living vascular tissue that carries sugar and organic substances throughout a plant. Cells continue to live after they mature.
- 28. most common tissue in a plant. (3 types)
- 29. system when the primary root contimues to grow and becomes the main root.
- 31. serves as a barrier to keep water from leaving a plant in dry conditions, helps to keep out insects, fungi and diseases. Important in the formation of cell walls because it provides rigidity and does not rot easily.
- 34. ground tissue that helps support young stems, roots and petioles.(strings you find in celery).
- 37. organs of a plant such as flowers, fruits and seeds.
- 38. the stalk that joins a leaf to a stem.
- 39. plants without roots that absorb water and minerals from the air such as mosses.
Down
- 1. region where most of the growth of the root takes place through mitosis.
- 3. an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide.
- 4. outer covering of a plant. tissue made of a single layers of cells. Protects the plant providing a shield. absorbs water and minerals.
- 5. the process of changing foods into energy.
- 6. an organism or a cell that has a nucleus and organelles.
- 7. first root when a seed begins to sprout
- 10. cells without a particular function (stem cells)
- 11. the study of life processes in an organism, daily function.
- 13. tissue containing stem cells and found at the tips of roots and shoots where new plant tissues are made.
- 14. compartments within the cell that perform a specific function.
- 16. an insoluble substance which is the main constituent of plant cell walls.
- 17. controls and regulates the activities of a cell.
- 18. anchor the plant, store food, absorb water and nutrients from the plants surroundings and transport them to where they are needed.
- 20. flowering plant with a fibrous root system
- 21. vascular plant that reproduces by means of an exposed seed
- 22. plant system composed of leaves and stems.
- 26. most active site of cell division allowing the root to grow in length.
- 30. nonliving vascular tissue that carries water and disolved minerals from the roots of a plant to its leaves. Cells die when they mature.
- 32. the basic unit of life. the smallest known unit that performs all of life’s functions.
- 33. flowering plant with a taproot system.
- 35. composed of dead thick walled cells to prevent the root as it forces its way down into the soil.
- 36. root system when the primary root branches until the root system looks like an underground bush.
