Plants and Water

4. tissue layers on both the top and bottom of the leaf that protect the leaf from physical damage
5. the organelle inside a plant cell that allows photosynthesis to happen
7. the way plants make glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water, using energy from sunlight
8. tissue layer in the leaf that performs the majority of photosynthesis
10. what happens to a plant's leaves when they don't get enough water
12. the green pigment inside a chloroplast that captures sunlight
13. small holes in the epidermis of a leaf that allow gases to diffuse into and out of the leaf
15. long hollow tubes through which water moves in a plant

1. the gas that diffuses into the stomata
2. waxy layer on the top of a leaf that reduces water loss through transpiration
3. tissue layer in the leaf with large air spaces to allow gases to diffuse throughout the leaf
6. the loss of water vapor from a plants leaves
9. one reason in which plants need water: because evaporation takes away heat
11. specialized cells that absorb water and mineral ions from the soil
14. the gas that diffuses out of the stomata
