Across
- 2. transports food from the leaves to the rest of the plants
- 9. a gas that is produced during respiration and combustion (burning); used by plants during photosynthesis
- 11. controls the opening and closing of the stoma (stomata)
- 12. transports water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves
- 13. process in which plants use energy from sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water
- 14. an organelle within the cells of plants and algae that is the location of photosynthesis
Down
- 1. the basic unit of life in organisms that are plants; have special organelles to perform functions of photosynthesis
- 3. liquid; one of the reactants in photosynthesis
- 4. a simple sugar that is a major energy source for cells glucose is produced in photosynthesis
- 5. a green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy and converts it into a form the plant can use for photosynthesis
- 6. a substance that is formed as a result of a chemical reaction; products in photosynthesis are 6O2 and C6H12O6
- 7. tiny opening or pores in plant tissue that allow for gas exchange
- 8. the ingredients of a chemical reaction; reactants in photosynthesis are CO2 and H2O
- 10. a gas that is released as a product during photosynthesis; photosynthesis put oxygen back into the atmosphere
