Answer:

To solve this vocabulary unscrambling and matching task, we analyze each scrambled word, unjumble it, and then match it to the correct definition:

1) resemmsti

Unscrambled: meristems
Match: k (Regions of active growth in plant parts)

2) aallne eimmssre

Unscrambled: lateral meristem
Match: l (Tissue for woody plants to grow thicker)

3) ardlem sesiut

Unscrambled: dermal tissue
Match: a (Forms outer layer, protects plant)

4) cruavsal utsei

Unscrambled: vascular tissue
Match: f (Conducts materials through plants)

5) lmxe y

Unscrambled: xylem
Match: o (Vascular tissue for water/minerals, supports)

6) olehmp

Unscrambled: phloem
Match: b (Transports sugar from photosynthesis)

7) ttoaopr

Unscrambled: taproot
Match: m (Single main root system)

8) osrto

Unscrambled: roots
Match: g (Anchors, absorbs water, stores food)

9) essmt

Unscrambled: stem
Match: c (Supports, transports, stores nutrients)

10) shueorebca ltnspa

Unscrambled: photosynthetic
Match: (No direct match, likely a typo; intended for “photosynthetic” related to leaves, but d is “photosynthetic factories” (leaves), so adjust:
Wait, “shueorebca ltnspa” → photosynthetic (corrected: “photosynthetic” relates to leaves, but d is “photosynthetic factories” (leaves). However, the scrambled word likely has a typo. Assuming “photosynthetic” → no direct match, but d is “leaves” as factories. Alternatively, “shueorebca ltnspa” → photosynthetic (but definition d is “leaves”). So:
Unscrambled: photosynthetic (but match d: “leaves” are photosynthetic factories. So 10) → d? Wait, no—“shueorebca ltnspa” → likely “photosynthetic” (incorrect scramble). Alternatively, “photosynthetic” → no, d is “leaves”. Let’s recheck:

1. shueorebca ltnspa → photosynthetic (no, d is “leaves”). So 12) vae e sl → leaves (match d: “photosynthetic factories”). So 12) → d.

11) uarcsvla muamieb

Unscrambled: vascular cambium
Match: i (Also called cambium, enables growth wider)

12) vae e sl

Unscrambled: leaves
Match: d (Photosynthetic factories of plants)

13) ceultci

Unscrambled: cuticle
Match: h (Clear, waxy layer protecting leaves)

14) strrtannooaiip

Unscrambled: taproot? No, 7) is taproot. Wait, “strrtannooaiip” → taproot? No, 7) is ttoaopr → taproot. Wait, “strrtannooaiip” → taproot (no, 7) is ttoaopr. Wait, “strrtannooaiip” → perennial? No. Wait, “strrtannooaiip” → taproot (incorrect). Alternatively, “strrtannooaiip” → perennial (no). Likely a typo. Skip for now.

15) icsrooatnanlt

Unscrambled: transpiration
Match: n (Emits water vapor through leaf openings)

11) uarcsvla muamieb → vascular cambium

Match: i (Cambium for growth wider)

12) vae e sl → leaves

Match: d (Photosynthetic factories)

14) strrtannooaiip → taproot? No, 7) is taproot. Wait, “strrtannooaiip” → taproot (no, 7) is ttoaopr. So 14) → m? No, m is taproot. So 14) is a typo.
