Plant Science Revision

2. Nutrient used in ATP production, DNA and strong root development.
8. Movement of sugars through the phloem from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
10. Organelles where respiration takes place and energy (ATP) is released.
13. The part of the stamen that produces and releases pollen.
14. The sticky surface at the top of the pistil where pollen grains land during pollination.
16. Cell division that produces two identical daughter cells for growth and repair.
18. Essential nutrient needed for proteins, chlorophyll and DNA.
20. Process where plants make glucose using carbon dioxide, water and sunlight.
21. Root system made of many thin, branching roots found in grasses and monocots.
22. Transfer of pollen from anthers to the stigma, enabling fertilisation.
23. Plant species with male and female flowers on separate individuals.

1. A nutrient required by plants in large amounts (e.g., nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium).
3. Plants that shed all their leaves each year, usually in autumn.
4. Flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed within fruits.
5. Vascular tissue that transports sugars from leaves to the rest of the plant.
6. Male gamete-containing grains produced by the anthers.
7. A nutrient needed only in tiny amounts but still essential for plant health (e.g., iron, zinc).
9. Small organelles responsible for protein synthesis.
10. Plants with both male and female flowers on the same individual.
11. Movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from high water concentration to low water concentration.
12. Process where cells release energy by breaking down glucose using oxygen.
15. Type of cell division that produces gametes with half the normal number of chromosomes.
17. Vascular tissue that carries water and minerals upward from the roots.
19. The stalk that attaches the leaf blade to the stem.
