P5 Plant Transport System

3. The simple sugar produced by plants during photosynthesis.
5. Tubes that transport food from the leaves to all other parts of the plant.
6. Besides water, roots also absorb mineral _______ from the soil.
10. The process by which water vapor is lost from the leaves to the surroundings.
12. The gas given out by plants during photosynthesis.
13. Tiny openings found mainly on the underside of leaves for gas exchange.
15. The direction food travels to reach the roots from the leaves.
16. The green pigment in leaves that traps light energy for photosynthesis.
18. The type of energy required for plants to make food.

1. Tubes that transport water and mineral salts from the roots to the leaves.
2. The "food factory" of the plant where photosynthesis takes place.
4. The only direction in which water and mineral salts travel through the plant.
7. The form in which plants store excess sugar.
8. The part of the plant that anchors it and absorbs water from the soil.
9. The gas taken in by leaves to carry out photosynthesis.
11. A plant will wilt if it loses more _______ than it can absorb.
14. This happens above a cut ring on a stem because food cannot travel down.
17. Root _______ increase the surface area for faster water absorption.
