- 4. color of light that causes germination.
- 6. if the pH of a substance is below 7, we call it this.
- 8. smallest grain that makes up soil. Holds water well.
- 9. when this is higher it may speed up plant growth by speeding up molecular collisions.
- 10. color of light that causes stem elongation.

- 12. medium grain size that can hold some water, but not as well as clay.
- 13. largest grain that makes up soil. Drains water well.
Down
- 1. if the pH of a substance is above 7, we call it this.
- 2. if the pH of a substance is 7, we call it this.
- 3. help convert nitrogen into a form plants can use.
- 5. color of light that is best for photosynthesis.
- 7. loss of nutrients in the soil, due to rain washing them away.
