Across
- 2. Simple plants (like mosses) that lack true vascular systems, roots, stems, and leaves, relying on diffusion and osmosis for transport.
- 4. flowering plant distinguished by seeds
- 6. a plant that has seeds unprotected by an ovary or fruit
- 7. A plant, typically woody, that sheds its leaves annually during the dormant season.
- 9. A taxonomic rank that groups closely related species; it is the first part of a plant's two-word scientific name.
- 12. A plant that completes its entire life cycle (from seed to producing new seeds) in a single growing season
- 13. Plants that have specialized tissues (xylem and phloem) for transporting water and nutrients.
- 14. group of non-vascular land plants that include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts
Down
- 1. a group of vascular plants that reproduce by spores instead of seeds or flowers
- 3. Organelles within plant cells that contain chlorophyll and are the site of photosynthesis.
- 5. A plant that lives for more than two years, often with a life cycle that can repeat indefinitely.
- 8. Small pores on the surface of leaves that regulate gas exchange (carbon dioxide in, oxygen out) and water loss.
- 10. A flowering plant with a single cotyledon (embryonic leaf) in its seed.
- 11. diverse group of aquatic, photosynthetic, eukaryotic organisms that lack true roots, stems, and leaves
- 15. The basic unit of classification, referring to a group of similar organisms that can interbreed and is the second part of the scientific name.
