Plant Structure

5. The control of stomates by guard cells is an example of this life process
8. Provide support for flowers and leaves
9. Tubes that transport material through a plant; also called vascular bundles
10. Pores on the underside of leaves for gas exchange
13. Contains moist air spaces for gas exchange between cells and the environment
16. Anchor a plant in the ground and obtain water from the soil
17. Waxy covering that prevents water loss
18. Light absorbing pigment
20. Layer of tightly packed cells in leaves the expose chloroplasts to light for photosynthesis
21. Contain chlorophyll

1. Tissue that contains cells that divide for growth and repair; also called meristem
2. Tissue that transports sugars throughout plants
3. Tissue that transports water through a plant
4. Increase the surface area for water absorption in roots
6. Control the flow of gases into and out of stomates
7. Groups of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function
11. Cause guard cells to swell and open stomates
12. Organ for sexual reproduction in plants
14. Group of tissues that work together to carry out a specific function
15. Tissue composed of xylem and phloem
19. Have a large surface area for capturing sunlight for photosynthesis
