Across
- 2. The tissue in vascular plants that conducts sugars and other metabolic products downward from the leaves.
- 4. One of two specialized cells that border a stoma and regulate gas exchange and water loss.
- 7. The reproductive part of the plant; attracts pollinators.
- 9. A series of elongated cells in phloem, through which food materials are transported in vascular plants.
- 10. A strand of conducting vessels in the stem or leaves of a plant, typically with phloem on the outside and xylem on the inside.
- 12. Anchor the plant in the soil and absorb water and minerals.
- 13. Tiny openings or pores in plant tissue that allow for gas exchange.
- 15. The upward push of sap in the xylem of vascular plants, resulting from osmotic pressure in the roots.
Down
- 1. The ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, external forces like gravity.
- 3. The transport of soluble food material from one part of a plant to another.
- 5. Carry out photosynthesis to produce food for the plant.
- 6. The tissue in vascular plants that conducts water and dissolved nutrients upward from the root and also helps to form the woody element in the stem.
- 8. Protect and help disperse seeds.
- 9. Contain the embryo of a new plant.
- 11. Supports the plant and transports water, nutrients, and food.
- 14. The process where plants absorb water through the roots and then give off water vapor through pores in their leaves.
