9. a device used to measure the rate of transpiration
11. the gas produced in photosynthesis
13. a mineral ion needed for making proteins
17. a strong wood like substance in the xylem walls that give strength
18. a factor that affects that rate of water loss (transpiration) by affecting the kinetic energy of particles
19. an adaptation of the xylem to enable uninterrupted flow of water
20. these give the spongy layer its 'spongy' quality
