Across
  1. 3. composed of dead thick walled cells to prevent the root as it forces its way down into the soil.
  2. 5. flowering plant with a taproot system.
  3. 6. tissue that carries water and material through the plant. Function like blood vessels in animals. 2 types.
  4. 8. living vascular tissue that carries sugar and organic substances thoughout a plant.Cells continue to live after they mature.
  5. 12. outer covering of a plant. tissue made of a single layers of cells.protects the plant providing a shield. absorbs water and minerals.
  6. 13. the stalk that joins a leaf to a stem.
  7. 14. ground tissue that helps support young stems, roots and petioles.(strings you find in celery).
  8. 15. vascular plant that reproduces by means of an exposed seed
  9. 17. plants without roots that absorb water and minerals from the air such as mosses.
  10. 18. system when the primary root continues to grow and becomes the main root.
  11. 19. most active site of cell division allowing the root to grow in length.
  12. 20. region where most of the growth of the root takes place through mitosis.
Down
  1. 1. flowering plant with a fibrous root system
  2. 2. dead ground tissue that provides support and protection.
  3. 4. first root when a seed begins to sprout
  4. 7. root system when the primary root branches until the root system looks like an underground bush.
  5. 9. the process of changing foods into energy.
  6. 10. anchor the plant, store food, absorb water and nutrients from the plants surroundings and transport them to where they are needed.
  7. 11. nonliving vascular tissue that carries water and disolved minerals from the roots of a plant to its leaves. Cells die when they mature.
  8. 16. process by which plants use sunlight to produce foods from carbon dioxide and water.
