Across
- 2. Opening in the leaf epidermis through which water vapor and oxygen pass out of the leaf and carbon dioxide passes into it
- 6. Plant known as a naked seed plant because its seeds do not develop within ovaries
- 7. haploid spore produced within the ascus of ascomycetes
- 8. Stemlike hypha that grows parallel to a fungus's growth medium
- 9. Male reproductive structure in some plants, including mosses and liverworts
- 11. Noncellular protective coating on the exterior surface of an organism, such as the waxy covering on leaves and insect exoskeletons that helps prevent water loss through evaporation
- 12. Flowering plant whose seeds develop within ovaries
- 14. Modified underground stem swollen with stored food
- 15. Protective structure formed from an enlarged, thickened ovary wall that contains angiosperm seeds
- 16. Modified stem with most of its food stored in layers of short, thick leaves that wrap around the stem
- 17. Root tissue that transports water and nutrients inward through the root; may store sugar and starches
Down
- 1. Primary plant root that grows longer and thicker than other roots
- 2. Structure in ferns, some protists, and some fungi that contains spores
- 3. Angiosperm whose seeds have one cotyledon
- 4. Vascular tissue responsible for the transport of nutrients and the products of photosynthesis throughout the plant
- 5. Thin heart-shaped structure formed from the gametophyte of a fern
- 7. Female reproductive structure in some plants, including mosses and liverworts
- 9. Tiny Sac in which fungal spores develop for sexual reproduction in ascomycetes
- 10. Asexual spore produced in an ascomycete
- 13. Organism at an early stage of development
