Across
- 1. Organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs.
- 3. Plants with a system of tissues for transporting water and nutrients.
- 5. Vascular bundles in a leaf that transport water, nutrients, and sugars.
- 6. A waxy layer on a leaf to prevent water loss.
- 10. An organism that produces its own food.
- 12. Pores on the leaf surface that regulate gas exchange.
- 13. Plants that lack a vascular transport system, like mosses.
- 14. Cells surrounding stomata that regulate their opening and closing.
- 15. An organism that gets food by consuming other organisms.
- 16. A group of similar cells working together.
- 17. Non-flowering, seed-producing plants, like conifers.
- 18. Flowering plants.
- 20. The top, protective layer of a leaf.
- 21. The lower layer of mesophyll cells with air spaces for gas exchange.
Down
- 2. The bottom, protective layer of a leaf, where most stomata are located.
- 4. Small, nonvascular plants that grow in moist places.
- 7. Green pigment in plants that absorbs light for photosynthesis.
- 8. Process for plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy.
- 9. A symbolic representation of a chemical reaction, such as for photosynthesis.
- 10. Pockets of air within the spongy mesophyll to help with gas exchange.
