Across
- 4. the plant process that increases plant numbers
- 8. is the chief component of the cell wall
- 11. fluid-filled organelles bound by a single membrane called the tonoplast
- 13. the process through which plant leaves, stems and roots consume oxygen and give off carbon dioxide
- 14. small particles suspended in water with sometimes glue-like consistency
- 16. process of qualitative change in plants over time
- 18. the food and manufacturing process in green plants that combines carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light to make sugar and oxygen
- 19. the process by which plant roots take in water and air
- 20. is derived from the Latin word ‘cella’, meaning storeroom or chamber
Down
- 1. controls the activities of the cell
- 2. the site of respiration
- 3. is a protein composite that appears in food processed from wheat and related species
- 5. defined as a community of plants dominated by trees
- 6. a process of irreversible increase by cell division and enlargement, including synthesis of new cellular material and organization of subcellular organelles
- 7. phenol derivatives (deter herbivory, deter infection)
- 9. the site of protein synthesis
- 10. a plastid containing the green pigment called the chlorophyll
- 12. Plants mostly deposit such material in their tissues. Such mineral matter is mostly salts of calcium (e.g., raphides, druses) and anhydrides of silica
- 15. the living part of the cell where organelles are embedded
- 17. occurs as a reserve material in the protoplasm
