Plant Physiology

2. Nutrients are absorbed into the roots by this process
6. Layer of cells packed with chloroplasts
9. Tissue that transports water and minerals
11. The organelle where photosynthesis occurs
12. Tissue found on the outside of the plant
14. Tissue responsible for transport around the plant
17. The breakdown of food to release energy
18. Tissue that undergoes cell division
20. Particles of the same type stick to each other
21. Makes its own food
22. Transports sugars
24. Barrier in the root that protects the plant and regulates nutrient uptake
25. Reinforces xylem tissue
26. This part of the plant is responsible for reproduction

1. Pores on the underside of the leaf for gaseous exchange
3. Tapered ends
4. The evaporation of water from the aerial part of the plant
5. The sugar produced by photosynthesis
6. The process by which plants make their own food
7. Prevents water loss from the top layer of the leaf
8. Allow lateral movement
10. The movement of sugars from source to sink
13. Particles stick to other materials
15. The root of the plant hold it in the soil
16. The movement of water from areas of high concentration to low concentration
19. This type of cell controls the phloem
23. The organelle where aerobic respiration occurs
