Plant anatomy

3. specialized plant cells control the opening and closing of tiny pores called stomata
4. tiny openings in plant leaves that allow plants to exchange gases and water with the environment
6. a type of leaf venation pattern where smaller veins branch out from a central midrib
10. veins that run parallel to each other, usually from the base of the leaf to the tip
11. a leaf with multiple veins that branch out from the petiole in a fan-like pattern
12. a leaf pattern where veins fork into two equal branches, forming a "Y" shape
14. a single, undivided leaf blade attached to a stem by a petiole
15. the central, prominent vein that runs along the length of a leaf
16. a waxy film that protects the outer layer of leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits of land plants

1. a branching pattern of veins in plant leaves that resemble a net
2. a leaf with multiple distinct leaflets, or blades, that are attached to a common axis
5. the outermost layer of cells that covers a plant, including its roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits
7. composed of loosely packed cells with large air spaces between them
8. the flat, expanded part of a leaf, which is primarily responsible for capturing sunlight and carrying out photosynthesis
9. the stalk-like structure that attaches a leaf blade to the stem
13. a layer of elongated, tightly packed cells located just below the upper epidermis of a leaf, primarily responsible for carrying out photosynthesis
