Across
- 3. Tiny pores on the surface of leaves that control gas exchange (in,out) and water vapor release.
- 4. Angiosperms with one seed leaf (cotyledon), flower parts in threes, and scattered vascular bundles.
- 5. A plant variety produced by selective breeding that has specific, desirable characteristics.
- 6. Vascular plants that produce flowers and seeds enclosed within a fruit.
- 9. The part of the stamen (male reproductive part) that produces and contains pollen.
- 11. Vascular tissue responsible for transporting water and dissolved minerals upward from the roots.
- 12. Plant Simple plants, such as mosses, that lack specialized vascular tissue (xylem/phloem) for transporting water and nutrients.
- 14. A waxy, protective layer covering the epidermis of leaves and stems that prevents water loss.
Down
- 1. A plant that lives for more than two years, often persisting for many seasons.
- 2. A layer of meristematic tissue (growth tissue) that produces new xylem and phloem, increasing stem width.
- 6. A plant that completes its entire life cycle—germination to seed production—in one growing season.
- 7. Threadlike structures that anchor nonvascular plants (like mosses) to the ground.
- 8. Vascular tissue that transports sugars and metabolic products downward from the leaves.
- 10. Vascular plants that produce naked seeds (not enclosed in fruit), typically in cones, such as conifers.
- 13. Angiosperms with two seed leaves, flower parts in fours or fives, and vascular bundles in rings.
