Across
- 3. - The property that describes the tendency for water to stick to other things
- 5. - What type of bonds do water molecules make with each other?
- 8. - Responsible for opening and closing the pores on the lower epidermis of the leaf
- 10. - The negative pressure/pull caused by the water potential gradient in the mesophyll
- 11. - The movement of water from an area of high water potential to an area of low water potential, across a partially-permeable membrane
- 12. - A complex carbohydrate that provides structural support and strength
- 13. - The loss of water vapour from a plant's leaves
- 15. - Contains both Xylem and Phloem
- 17. - The pathway by which water passes from cytoplasm to cytoplasm through the plasmodesmata
- 21. - The property that describes the tendency for water molecules to stick together
Down
- 1. - A lignin band in the root endodermis that is impermeable to water; capable of preventing the apoplastic and symplastic pathways
- 2. - The inner layer in the roots of vascular plants
- 4. - A measure of the pressure exerted by water molecules
- 6. - Membrane-bound organelle found in the cytoplasm that stores cell sap
- 7. - The pathway by which water crosses plasma membranes, entering and exiting individual cells
- 9. - Membrane that surrounds the part of the plant cell that stores cell sap
- 14. Reinforced hollow tube, responsible for transporting water and mineral ions
- 16. - The outer layer of the roots, containing root hair cells
- 18. - The pathway by which water moves through the spaces between cells and cell walls
- 19. - Where do plants predominantly take in water?
- 20. - an outer layer of tissue immediately below the epidermis of a stem or root.
- 22. - Pores on the lower epidermis of the leaf
