Across
- 1. A flowering plant
- 6. An opening in a plant leaf through which carbon dioxide enters and oxygen exits
- 8. Have no seeds or fruit, but do have plant veins. For example, a fern.
- 9. A group of living and non-living things
- 10. A plant hormone that causes leaves to fall off (hint: look under "answers to thought questions" in the table at the end)
- 14. The specific pigment that makes plants green (hint: look under "answers to thought questions" in the table at the end)
- 15. Surrounds and protects seeds in angiosperms; examples include apples, cucumbers, and peppers
Down
- 2. Have seeds but no fruit; might store seeds in a cone
- 3. Sunlight + water + carbon dioxide --> sugar + oxygen
- 4. The non-green pigments we see in the Fall when plants turn different colors (hint: look under "answers to thought questions" in the table at the end)
- 5. A 6-carbon sugar produced by plants
- 7. Examples include carrots, onions, lettuce, and potatoes
- 8. Makes things colorful; for example, one of these makes plants green
- 11. Have no seeds, fruit, or veins (which means they have to stay close to the ground). For example, moss.
- 12. The cellular "organ" of photosynthesis (where photosynthesis happens)
- 13. Needed for photosynthesis; eventually becomes oxygen, which is released from the plant
