Across
  1. 3. tolerate pollution well and dried leaves used in teas/medicines
  2. 5. have woody, egg-shaped cones, needles bound in bundles, and sticky resin
  3. 8. cones can resemble flowers and hot, dry deserts OR tropical rain forests
  4. 10. 1 cotyledon in their seeds, vascular tissue scattered, leaves are usually long and narrow with parallel veins roots of similar size (fibrous roots), and flower petals in groups of 3 or 6
  5. 11. leafy branches of ferns
  6. 13. don’t grow taller than 30 cm (12 in)and found in forests in moist places
  7. 14. have flowers and seeds protected inside fruit
  8. 15. has tube like structures that transport water
  9. 18. heads coiled up frond beginning to grow and some are edible
  10. 19. needles are stiff and prickle and cones hang down from branches, can stay on the tree for many years
  11. 20. lacks structure to transport water and other materials
  12. 21. tall, hollow, jointed stems, produce food in stems vs. leaves, and were used in colonial times as
  13. 23. look like palms and produce pollen in large cone
  14. 24. often found by streams, in woods, or in pastures and many branches can grow from one rhizome
Down
  1. 1. angiosperm that needs 2 growing seasons to develop and 1st year=leaves; rests in winter; 2nd year=flowers, seeds, dies
  2. 2. 2 cotyledons in their seeds, vascular tissue arranged in circle, leaves are usually broad and flat with network of veins, main root lengthens into taproot, other roots branch off, and flower petals in groups of 4 or 5
  3. 4. angiosperm that can live for 3+ years and grows, flowers, produces new seeds year after year
  4. 6. have leaves arranged differently that mosses
  5. 7. have no flowers and seeds produced inside cones
  6. 9. grow in groups, spread over large areas, and can grow on rocks, in soil, or on other plants
  7. 12. leaves are needlelike or scale like, smaller surface area of leaf means less water lost, and evergreen (photosynthesis year-round)
  8. 16. tiny seed leaves of the plant embryo and contain stored food
  9. 17. angiosperm that lives for 1 growing season and it grows, flowers, produces seeds, dies
  10. 18. needles are flat and flexible and cones stand upright on branches
  11. 22. thin, rootlike structures
