Across
- 5. The middle layer of a leaf where all the food-making happens.
- 6. A plant with seeds in cones, not flowers or fruits.
- 7. A bunch of similar cells working together for one purpose.
- 8. Plants without those pipes, like moss.
- 12. Mesophyll: The lower layer of the leaf with big air pockets for gas exchange.
- 15. Plants that flower and keep their seeds inside a fruit.
- 16. A living thing that has to eat other stuff to get energy.
- 17. A waxy coat on leaves that keeps water from escaping.
- 18. Tiny pores, mostly under leaves, for breathing and sweating.
- 19. Epidermis: The bottom layer of the leaf, where you find all the stomata.
- 20. Mesophyll: The packed-together cells right under the leaf's skin that do a lot of the work.
- 22. The tiny transport tubes in a leaf for moving water and nutrients around.
Down
- 1. That green stuff in plants that grabs energy from the sun.
- 2. Equation: The recipe for photosynthesis: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.
- 3. Cells: Two cells that open and close the stomata, like a gatekeeper.
- 4. Plants use sunlight to make their own food from water and carbon dioxide.
- 9. A simple, nonvascular plant that uses spores instead of seeds.
- 10. The tiny green factories inside plant cells where photosynthesis happens.
- 11. An organism that makes its own grub, like a plant.
- 13. Plants with special pipes for moving water and food.
- 14. Epidermis: The top, clear skin of a leaf, it's just for protection.
- 21. Spaces: The gaps in a leaf's spongey layer for gas to float around.
