- 13. Small, cylindrical organelle that has tubulin protein around empty central core
- 14. Condition in which a cell contains the correct number and combinations of chromosomes
- 15. Organism with more than one cell
- 16. Small molecule that is subunit of polymer (Ex.Glucose is monomer of starch)
- 17. Coenzyme in oxidation-reduction reaction that accepts electron and hydrogen ion to become NADH+ H+
- 19. Organic catalyst that speeds a reaction in cell
- 20. State of cellular reproduction where nuclear division occur, 1 parent nucleus produces 2 daughter nuclei
- 22. Spread of Cancer, caused by ability of cancer cells to migrate and invade tissues
- 23. Form of enzyme inhibition where inhibitor binds to enzyme other than active site
- 25. Measure of disorder or randomness in a system
- 27. Chromatin with a lower level of compaction and therefore accessible for transcription
- 30. Means by which cells regulate enzyme activity
- 32. Membrane-bound organelle where ATP is produced during cellular respiration
- 33. Union of more than two atoms of same element; is the smallest part of compound that still has its properties

- 34. Negative subatomic particle moving around the nucleus of an atom
- 36. Regular back and forth movement of animals during particular time of year
