PLANT ORGAN SYSTEMS

1. component of the leaves vital for photosynthesis
3. transports water and solutes from roots to leaves
5. process by which water evaporates from the leaves, therefore causing more water to be drawn up from the roots
7. tiny pore in the surface of a leaf that is used for gas exchange
8. process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy
10. strand of primary tissues found within the stem of a plant and consisting of xylem and phloem
12. ideal tonicity for plants cell that makes it turgid
13. plant organ that absorbs sunlight, and make food for the plant by photosynthesis
15. cells where processed sugars are transported
17. organ system that consists of leaves and stem
19. cells that surround the stoma that regulates its opening and closing during transpiration

1. cells of the phloem that retain their nucleus and control the adjacent sieve cells
2. process how plants are able to absorb water from soil depending on concentration
4. A chemical that strengthens the walls of the xylem
6. plant organ that keep a plants in the ground to take in water and nutrients from the soil
9. plant organ that supports the leaves and flowers and transports water and nutrients between the roots and the leaves
11. organ system that anchors the plant underneath the soil to absorb water and nutrients to the plant
14. portion of the shoot system where the non-reproductive plant organs are found
16. transport of food from the leaves to the rest of the plant
18. process of materials from leaves to other tissues throughout the plant
