Across
- 4. an organ system found underground, supports the plant, and absorbs water and minerals
- 5. hair-like structures on epidermal surface that reduce transpiration
- 8. consists of plant cells that are no longer actively dividing
- 11. merismatic tissue located on the tips of stems and roots
- 13. an organ system that grows above ground;consists of the vegetative and reproductive parts of the plant
- 14. vascular tissue that transports water and nutrients from the roots to different parts of the plant
- 15. elongated type of plant cell that provides support and wind resistance
- 16. a root system with dense network of roots and prevents soil erosion
- 17. modified stem that grows horizontally underground
- 18. plant cells that provide support but most of which are dead at maturity
Down
- 1. covers and protects the plant
- 2. divide and contribute to plant growth;found in plant regions called meristems
- 3. extension of root epidermal cells, increasing the root surface area
- 6. makes up the dermal tissue of the stem
- 7. produce cells that quickly differentiate or specialize and become permanent tissue
- 8. vascular tissue that transports organic compounds
- 9. has a main root that grows down vertically and from which smaller lateral roots arise
- 10. type of plant cell that contains chloroplasts, and is responsible for photosynthesis
- 12. facilitate growth in thickness or girth in a maturing plant
- 19. waxy layer that covers the leaves and reduces the rate of water loss
