Across
  1. 5. – A part of the transport system in vascular plants, consisting of xylem and phloem.
  2. 8. – Organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis takes place.
  3. 11. – A part of the plant (like roots or fruits) that consumes or stores sugars.
  4. 12. – A semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell, controlling entry and exit of substances
  5. 14. – Vascular tissue that transports water and minerals from roots to other parts of the plant.
  6. 16. – The movement of food (sugars) through the phloem from leaves to other parts of the plant.
  7. 17. – Pores on the underside of leaves that allow gas exchange.
  8. 19. – The pressure of the cell contents against the cell wall in plant cells.
  9. 21. – The passive movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
  10. 22. – A measure of the tendency of water to move from one area to another.
  11. 23. – A part of the plant (like leaves) that produces sugars via photosynthesis.
  12. 24. – The movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to high.
  13. 25. – The process by which plants use sunlight to make food (glucose) from carbon dioxide and water.
  14. 26. – Loss of turgor pressure in plants, often due to excessive water loss.
  15. 27. – A simple sugar produced during photosynthesis and used for energy.
  16. 29. – Specialized cells that control the opening and closing of stomata.
  17. 30. – A layer of tissue that produces new xylem and phloem cells.
Down
  1. 1. – The combined effect of cohesion and adhesion that allows water to move upward in narrow spaces.
  2. 2. – The storage form of glucose in plants.
  3. 3. – Attraction between water molecules that helps pull water through the xylem.
  4. 4. – The movement of substances against a concentration gradient using energy.
  5. 6. – Attraction between water molecules and the walls of xylem vessels.
  6. 7. – The movement of a fluid driven by pressure differences.
  7. 9. – The process where water changes from liquid to vapor, helping in transpiration.
  8. 10. – Inorganic nutrients absorbed from the soil for plant growth and development.
  9. 13. – Tiny extensions on root epidermal cells that increase surface area for absorption.
  10. 15. – The loss of water vapor from plant leaves through the stomata.
  11. 18. – The inner tissue of a leaf where most photosynthesis occurs.
  12. 20. – The process in which cells lose water in a hypertonic solution.
  13. 28. – Vascular tissue that transports sugars and nutrients produced by photosynthesis.
