Plant Biology

3. bodies are organelles that act like a post office, sorting and delivering proteins and lipids.
5. is the branch of science that deals with studying plant life.
10. contains food or pigment and is where photosynthesis occurs.
11. is a large cavity (often taking up to 90% of the space within the cell) that stores cell sap, waste products, pigments or other liquids.
13. (aka powerhouse) drives respirations and energy transfer.
14. covers the outside of the plant and protects it from environmental stresses like heat, insects, and pathogens. It minimizes water loss and allows air exchange.
15. provide uptake of water and nutrients, anchor and support the plant,and store nutrients.
16. stores genetic information and controls activities in the cell.

1. contains the cell and gives it strength and rigidity.
2. is the practice of growing plants.
4. are pores on leaves that open and close to allow gas exchange and control water loss.
6. provide support to the plant and transport water and nutrients throughout the plant.
7. protect the seeds and aid in seed dispersal.
8. are reproductive organs.
9. cells are specialized cells that surround pores (stomata) and control the opening or closing of the stomata.
12. are reproductive unit that develop through the fertilization process.
