Across
  1. 3. single layer of cells that covers the leaves, flowers, roots and stems of plants. It forms a boundary between the plant and the external environment.
  2. 5. A tendency of a plant to maintain a balanced or constant internal state; the regulation of water pressure (turgor) and water loss
  3. 6. the column shaped cells packed tightly at the surface of leaves, are responsible for collecting light for photosynthesis
  4. 11. The "mouth-like" structures on the bottom of the leaves that open and close to regulate water balance (homeostasis) within the plant
  5. 12. the two cells on either side of the stoma (hole), regulates the movement of gases and water loss (transpiration)
  6. 13. The gas that is taken into the plant through the stoma (holes) in a leaf
  7. 16. the cells found at the base of the leaves that are loosely packed and have a lot of air space, allows for gaseous exchange
  8. 17. Process that moves minerals from the soil across the cell membrane and into the root cells of plants
  9. 19. the act of water moving up small tubular cells such as xylem cells, helps water move up stems
Down
  1. 1. the outer layer of leaves and plant surfaces, made of waxy substance, helps plant conserve water
  2. 2. Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane towards the solutes
  3. 4. tissue that includes veins of plants such as xylem and phloem cells organized into clusters
  4. 7. The gas that is released from the plant through the stoma (holes) in a leaf
  5. 8. vascular tissue in plants that transports glucose photosynthates and hormones throughout the plant
  6. 9. vein tissue of plants including xylem & phloem to conduct water & minerals up the stem and transport of sugars and hormones throughout the plant.
  7. 10. loss of water vapor from the stoma (holes) in the leaves, helps pull water molecules up through the stem
  8. 14. thin slender cells round on the root that extend the surface area of the root, allow active transport of minerals thus osmosis to occur
  9. 15. tissue vascular tissue in plants used to transport water and minerals from the soil up the stem and throughout the leaves
  10. 18. The universal solvent that plants need for life and photosynthesis
