Across
- 3. the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water
- 5. called bast, tissues in plants that conduct made in the leaves to all other parts of the plant
- 6. cell structures in the epidermis of tree leaves and needles that are involved in the exchange of carbon dioxide and water between plants and the atmosphere
- 9. cells are a type of ground tissue found in the plant's leaves
- 10. involves using the sugars produced during photosynthesis plus oxygen to produce energy for plant growth
- 13. are cylindrical extensions of root epidermal cells that are important for acquisition of nutrients, microbe interactions, and plant anchorage
- 14. They are fully permeable to water, molecules, and proteins
- 15. process by which plants take-up substances from the soil is known as absorption
Down
- 1. process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers
- 2. plant vascular tissue that conveys water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and also provides physical support
- 4. how plants are able to absorb water from soil
- 7. a pigment, or molecule that reflects some wavelengths of light, while absorbing others
- 8. in botany, outermost, protoderm-derived layer of cells covering the stem, root, leaf, flower, fruit, and seed parts of a plant
- 11. A plastid in the cells of green plants and green algae that contains chlorophylls and carotenoid pigments and creates glucose through photosynthesis
- 12. in plants, tissue of unspecialized cells lying between the epidermis (surface cells) and the vascular, or conducting, tissues of stems and roots
