Across
- 3. metric prefix 1 × 10-9.
- 4. lens 2 words. the part of the microscope that gathers light from the specimen and focuses it to produce a real image.
- 6. metric prefix 1 × 10-3.
- 8. the process in which an organism regulates activities within cells and their bodies to keep conditions stable.
- 10. metric prefix 1 × 10-6.
- 11. a property of a system that emerges from the interaction of the elements of the system.
- 17. an approach to science that holds that a complex system can be best understood as the sum of its parts, and that variables can be studied in isolation.
- 20. the alteration of a cell's morphology and physiology through changes in gene expression.
- 21. a group of cells with a common function and structure.
- 22. in behavioural science, the behaviour that is the consequence of a stimulus.
- 23. an increase in physical size.
Down
- 1. 2 words. a means of visually indicating the actual size of an image.
- 2. 2 words. a relatively undifferentiated cell that can give rise to other types of cells and retains the ability to divide.
- 5. 2 words. theory that states that all organisms are composed of cells, and that all cells come from pre-existing cells.
- 7. focus dial used to initially focus a light microscope on a specimen.
- 9. a degenerative eye disease that has been the target of stem cell research.
- 12. ratio of image size to actual size.
- 13. 5 words. a variable that decreases as cells grow, so that it sets a limit to the size of cells.
- 14. the sum of all of the chemical reactions that occur within an organism or within a cell.
- 15. a level of organization that emerges due to the interaction of elements.
- 16. genus of single-celled ciliated organisms.
- 18. metric prefix 1/100th or 1 × 10-2.
- 19. 2 words. the synthesis of a functional gene product, often protein, but also rRNA, tRNA, or snRNA.
