Across
- 2. Part of vascular plant that transports WATER AND MINERALS from the ROOTS to the rest of the plant.
- 3. The leaf part of the fern sporophyte.
- 4. Type of plant that contains xylem and phloem.
- 6. Type of plant that lacks xylem and phloem.
- 8. Part of the fern sporophyte that contains all of the sporangia.
- 9. This form of the plant produces gametes which form into seeds instead of spores.
- 10. Rootlike structures that anchor mosses to a surface.
- 11. Reproductive cells (sperm and egg) that must be united to eventually form a seed.
- 12. This form of the plant produces spores instead of seeds.
- 13. Part of vascular plant that transports FOOD to the rest of the plant including the roots.
- 15. The way that vascular plants transport water, food, and nutrients throughout the whole plant.
Down
- 1. The process by which the plant cycles between its sporophyte form and gametophyte form.
- 5. The underground stems that ferns grow from.
- 7. Part of the fern sporophyte that drops spores to the ground.
- 12. A reproductive cell that falls from plants that do not make seeds. It is able to develop into a new plant without being fertilized.
- 14. When the gametes (sperm and egg) unite, this is formed.
