Across
  1. 2. a vascular tissue in plants responsible for transporting water and dissolved minerals upwards from the roots to the stems and leaves, while providing structural support
  2. 4. the exudation of liquid water, containing dissolved nutrients and minerals, from the specialized pores (hydathodes) at the tips or margins of leaves
  3. 6. a living vascular tissue in plants that transports organic nutrients, mainly sucrose (sugar) made during photosynthesis, from "source" tissues (leaves) to "sink" tissues (roots, fruits, growing stems) for energy or storage
  4. 7. the physical attraction between water molecules and the cellulose cell walls of plant tissues, particularly within xylem vessels
  5. 9. the evaporation of water from plant tissues—primarily leaves, but also stems and flowers—in the form of water vapor, mostly through tiny pores called stomata
  6. 10. the male reproductive organ of a flower, responsible for producing pollen to facilitate fertilization
  7. 11. the female reproductive part located in the center of a flower, responsible for producing seeds
  8. 12. the outermost, typically green, leaf-like structures at the base of a flower that enclose and protect the developing bud.
  9. 13. modified, often brightly colored or scented leaves forming an inner whorl (the corolla) around a flower's reproductive parts
Down
  1. 1. hollow, dead, lignified vascular tissues that form continuous pipes, primarily responsible for transporting water and dissolved minerals upward from the roots to the stem and leaves
  2. 3. specialized, green-pigmented organelles within plant cells and algae that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy (sugars) for growth
  3. 5. the molecular attraction between water molecules (hydrogen bonding) that keeps them together in a continuous column within the xylem for transport
  4. 6. the female reproductive part located in the center of a flower, responsible for producing seeds
  5. 8. the process in which green plants convert light energy (sunlight) into chemical energy (glucose) to fuel growth
  6. 10. microscopic pores located in the epidermis of leaves and young stems, crucial for gas exchange and transpiration
