Across
  1. 2. – The phase when new nuclei form around chromosomes.
  2. 3. – The phase of mitosis when chromosomes line up in the middle.
  3. 7. cell – The result of mitosis; two identical new cells.
  4. 8. – The cell part that controls all activities; the “brain” of the cell.
  5. 12. – The green organelle where photosynthesis happens.
  6. 13. – The small cell structure that helps organize spindle fibers.
  7. 14. dioxide – The gas plants take in during photosynthesis.
  8. 16. – The process that releases energy from food using oxygen.
  9. 18. – A section of DNA that codes for a trait.
  10. 20. – The gas animals need for respiration.
  11. 22. – The first stage of mitosis when chromosomes become visible.
  12. 23. – The form of energy from the sun used by plants.
  13. 25. – The process where molecules move from high to low concentration.
Down
  1. 1. – The point where sister chromatids are joined.
  2. 4. – The process plants use to make food using sunlight.
  3. 5. – The process that moves water through a membrane.
  4. 6. – The splitting of the cytoplasm during cell division.
  5. 9. – A reactant needed by plants during photosynthesis.
  6. 10. – The phase of mitosis when sister chromatids move apart.
  7. 11. – The process of dividing a cell’s nucleus.
