Across
- 3. is old inactive phloem.
- 4. season plants relish cool temperatures, growing best in spring or fall. Example: pansy.
- 8. refers to plants that retain their leaves and remain green year round.
- 9. is the large center vein.
- 11. indicate where leaves were attached.
- 13. are small green particles that contain chlorophyll, give leaves their green color and are necessary for photosynthesis.
- 17. are breathing pores found on stems and branches.
- 18. is taking a 4-6 inch piece of the plant and forcing roots to grow.
- 19. absorb moisture (water) and minerals.
- 20. are plant stems that have vascular bundles each bundle contain both xylem and phloem.
- 25. is the edge of the leaf.
- 26. is a thin, green, actively growing tissue located between the bark and wood and produces all new stem cells.
- 27. are the small openings under the leaf for breathing or transpiration.
- 28. are long roots with few branched ones. They are more difficult to transplant.
- 29. is the tissue that transports water and nutrients up from the roots to the stems and leaves.
- 30. is the % of seeds that sprouts. 75 of 100 = 75%.
- 32. refers to plants that lose their leaves during the dormant season.
- 33. is the bud located at the axil of the leaf.
- 34. is a plant that completes its life cycle in two years. It usually grows the first year and flowers the second year.
Down
- 1. attracts insects for pollination.
- 2. is the tissue that transports food down from leaves to the roots.
- 3. is the large, flat part of the leaf.
- 5. have many branched shallow roots. They are easy to transplant.
- 6. is a plant that lives more than two years. Some perennials will grow and bloom the first year.
- 7. converts sugars and starches into energy.
- 10. leaves or stems have a smooth non-hairy feel (example southern magnolia).
- 12. is a plant that completes its life cycle in one year.
- 14. is the seed’s capability of growing or developing.
- 15. is old inactive xylem.
- 16. is a plant that is swollen or filled with moisture.
- 21. is a stage when a plant rests or grows very little.
- 22. is the part of biology that deals with plants.
- 23. is a plant that is limp because it does not have enough moisture.
- 24. is the leaf stalk or part that connects the leaf to the stem.
- 28. is a bud on end of stem.
- 31. is the leaf tip.
