Across
  1. 2. angiosperm with two cotyledons inside its seed, flower parts in multiples of four or five, and vascular bundles in rings
  2. 7. flowering vascular plants that produce fruits containing one or more seeds
  3. 10. A division or lobe of the corolla or inner perianth of a flower.
  4. 11. species species that break down rock and build up decaying plant material so that other plants can grow
  5. 13. vascular tissue that forms tubes that transport dissolved sugar throughtout a plant
  6. 15. plant plants that absorbs water and other substances directly through its cells wall
  7. 17. The outer perianth of a flower. The calyx surrounds the corolla, and is typically divided into lobes called sepals. These are frequently green, and reduced relative to the petals, but they can also be large, and brightly colored, resembling petals. In many flowers, the sepals enclose and protect the flower bud prior to opening.
  8. 19. angiosperm with one cotyledon inside its seed, flower parts in multiples of three, and vascular tissues in bundles scattered throughout the stem
  9. 20. waxy, protective layer that covers the leaves, stems, and flowers of many plants and helps prevent water loss
  10. 22. The stalk supporting an inflorescence or solitary flower.
  11. 24. threadlike structures that anchor nonvascular plants to the ground
Down
  1. 1. The usually narrow and often threadlike part of the stamen which supports the pollen-bearing anther
  2. 3. A circle or cup of bracts that surrounds and supports the multiple florets of the head in the composite flowers of the family asteraceae. The shape and arrangement of the involucral bracts is important in describing the members of this family.
  3. 4. vascular plants that do not flower, generally have needlelike or scalelike leaves, and produce seeds that are not protected by fruits
  4. 5. plant with tubelike structures that move minerals, water, and other substances throughout the plant
  5. 6. The usually elongated part of the pistil that connects the ovary to the stigma.
  6. 8. pairs of cells that surround stomata and control their opening and closing
  7. 9. tiny openings in a plant's epidermis through which carbon dioxide, water vapor, and oxygen enter and exit
  8. 12. vascular tissue that forms hollow vessels that transport substances, other than sugar, throughout the plant
  9. 14. A leaf-like element below a flower or on an inflorescence. Bracts are typically shaped differently than other leaves on the plant. They are usually green, but occasionally are brightly colored and petal-like.
  10. 16. chemical compound made out of sugar that provides structure and support
  11. 18. The pollen-bearing body of the stamen, usually relatively compact, and supported at the end of the narrow filament. Under a lens, anthers exhibit a wide variety of forms and means of attachment. These characteristics are often important in technical keys for flower identification.
  12. 20. vascular tissue that produces xylem and phloem cells as a plant grows
  13. 21. The footstalk supporting a single flower in an inflorescence.
  14. 23. The inner perianth of a flower. The corolla typically surrounds the reproductive parts of the flower. It may be continuous as in a petunia, lobed, or divided into distinct petals. In some cases, especially in cultivated varieties, the corolla may be doubled or even further multiplied, producing multiple layers of petals. In other cases, it may be lacking entirely.
