Plant Biology

6. Modified stem used to store starches
7. Openings in the leaves that permit movement of water vapor, CO2, and oxygen in and out of the leaves
8. Place on the plant where cell division occurs (Bonus: Where on the plant are these areas located?)
10. The chemical process by which plants produce sugars (Bonus: what are the sugars used for?)
11. Type of plant with both male and female flowers on the same plant
12. The first leaf or leaves to emerge from a seed
13. Vascular tissue that conducts water and mineral nutrients from the soil to the above ground plant parts

1. The result of a loss of turgor (rigidity) in plant cells. (Bonus: What can cause this?)
2. A plant’s ability to withstand frost
3. Evaporative loss of moisture through the leaves (Bonus: how does this process relate to water uptake from the soil?)
4. Vascular tissue that conducts sugars and from the leaves to other plant parts.
5. Type of flower with both male and female parts
9. Type of plant that completes its life cycle in one year
