Across
- 3. The sticky tip of the pistil where pollen grains are deposited
- 4. The diffusion of water through a differentially permeable membrane.
- 6. Process of reproduction which involves two parent plants.
- 8. Tiny particles of pollen containing sperm produced by the male reproductive organ.
- 10. Outer protective layer of the stem
- 13. Supports the tree, it is where the stem of a tree gets its strength from. Created from dead xylem tissue. It is filled with stored sugars, oils and dyes.
- 15. The tendency of particles in a liquid or gas to become evenly distributed through the movement of particles from areas of greater concentration to areas of lesser concentration.
- 16. Transports sugars and other metabolic products from the leaves downward
- 18. The process of choosing specific organisms with particular characteristics and having those organisms reproduce with each other.
- 19. Produces new phloem and xylem tissue
- 21. The tube connecting the stigma and the ovary
- 23. The process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
Down
- 1. The male reproductive part of the plant.
- 2. The pathway created by the pollen grain as it makes its way to the ovary.
- 5. The tip of the male reproductive organ where pollen grains are developed, stored, and released.
- 7. Enclose the petals of a bud and protect the flower before it opens.
- 9. mode of reproduction in which a new offspring is produced by a single parent plant.
- 10. Brightly colored parts of a flower that help attract pollinators (bees, wasps, ants, flies…)
- 11. Eggs produced by the female reproductive organ.
- 12. The movement of substances through levels of a food chain so that they get more concentrated in the organisms that are higher in the food chain
- 14. The stalk of the male reproductive organ.
- 17. The tiny chamber at the bottom of the style that contains the plant’s ovules.
- 20. Transports water from the roots upwards.
- 22. The female reproductive part of the plant
