Plant Science

2. – Vascular tissue that transports water and minerals from roots to leaves.
6. – Plant structures that absorb water and nutrients and anchor the plant in soil.
7. – Vascular tissue that transports food (sugars) throughout the plant.
8. – Transfer of pollen from the male part of a flower to the female part.
11. – Process where sperm and egg cells join to form a seed.
14. – Process by which a seed begins to grow into a plant.

1. – Tiny openings on leaves that allow gas exchange.
3. – Plant organs where most photosynthesis takes place.
4. – Green pigment in plant cells that absorbs light for photosynthesis.
5. – Organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs.
7. – Process by which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make food (glucose).
9. – Large storage sac in plant cells that holds water and helps maintain cell shape.
10. – Process by which water vapor is released from plant leaves.
12. – Plant part that supports the plant and transports water and nutrients.
13. Wall – Rigid outer layer of plant cells that provides support and protection.
