Across
- 2. Non-vascular, seedless plants.
- 4. A series of chemical reactions performed by plants to “fix” carbon from CO2 into glucose.
- 7. A wasteful pathway that competes with the Calvin cycle. It happens when rubisco uses oxygen as a substrate instead of carbon dioxide.
- 11. A plant that produces flowers and fruits.
- 12. A water-impervious protective layer covering the epidermal cells of leaves.
Down
- 1. A pore or hole found in the epidermis of leaves and stems used for gas exchange.
- 3. Cells where photosynthesis occurs.
- 5. A plant that has seeds but no flowers. The seeds are in cones or cups.
- 6. Plants with xylem and phloem tissues that conduct water, minerals, and sugars.
- 8. The enzyme that catalyzes the first major step of carbon fixation.
- 9. Vascular plants that reproduce with spores
- 10. Cells that regulate the rate of transpiration and gas exchange by opening and closing the stomata
