10. ____ _____ cells - water from the soil, enters through these before passing into the root cortex
13. The loss of water from a plant's surface.
17. The cell layer between the root cortex and the xylem vessel
18. The pores in the leaf surface that allow evaporation
19. The main pathway water uses to travel from roots to the xylem
20. ______ strip: a waxy strip in cell walls that prevents water from passing through them.
21. Part of the plant where xylem and phloem are near the outside, providing support

11. _______ cross-section: sections cut through each structure at a right angle to its length
12. The feature of water that means it is attracted the the walls of the xylem vessel
14. ______ _____ elements - the living cells that make up a phloem but have no nucleus and few organelles (no space)
15. Part of plant where xylem is in the centre surrounded by phloem
