Across
  1. 6. The outermost layer of cells covering leaves, stems, and roots in plants.
  2. 10. Meristems located at or near the tips of roots and shoots, responsible for primary growth.
  3. 14. Tissues responsible for synthesis, support, and storage,including parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma.
  4. 15. The vertical growth of plants, primarily driven by apical meristems.
  5. 16. Cells with thicker walls, providing flexible support for plant organs.
  6. 18. Specialized cells surrounding stomata, regulating their opening and closing.
  7. 19. Microscopic pores on plant surfaces, primarily located on leaves, for gas exchange and transpiration.
  8. 20. Tissue responsible for conducting water and minerals from roots to other plant parts.
  9. 22. Found in grasses, responsible for growth in length but not girth.
  10. 23. Epidermal appendages on plants, contributing to protection and water conservation.
  11. 24. A type of lateral meristem responsible for increasing plant thickness by producing xylem and phloem.
  12. 25. Tissue responsible for conducting nutrients, primarily sugars and amino acids, throughout the plant.
Down
  1. 1. Also known as bark, this tissue replaces the epidermis in plants undergoing secondary growth.
  2. 2. Most abundant plant cells involved in various functions like storage, repair, and photosynthesis.
  3. 3. Cells with tough secondary walls, providing structural support, including sclereids and fibers.
  4. 4. Tissue consisting of actively dividing cells responsible for growth and development.
  5. 5. A scientist or researcher who specializes in the study of plants and their various aspects.
  6. 7. The release of water vapor from plant tissues, primarily through stomata.
  7. 8. Parenchyma cells with air spaces, found in aquatic plants like water lilies.
  8. 9. An expert in histology, who investigates and analyzes different types of tissues.
  9. 11. The scientific study of plants, encompassing their structure, function, growth, reproduction, and classification.
  10. 12. The scientific study of tissues, focusing on their composition, structure, and functions.
  11. 13. Tissue that covers and protects the plant's surfaces, including epidermis and periderm.
  12. 15. The various types of specialized cells that make up plants, each with specific functions.
  13. 16. Parenchyma cells with chloroplasts, responsible for photosynthesis.
  14. 17. Responsible for secondary growth, leading to horizontal expansion of plant organs.
  15. 21. Another type of lateral meristem that generates the outer bark in woody plants.
