Cells Extravaganza
Across
- 1. The type of movement of molecules that is 'helped' by proteins
- 3. Protein on the outside of a cell that is like a name tag
- 6. If a person becomes dehydrated, their cells experience a ___ environment.
- 8. The basic unit of the cell membrane, hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails
- 13. Surrounds plant cells (and some bacteria) providing structure and rigidity
- 16. Protein that allows ions or other small molecules to cross a membrane
- 19. The gel-like insides of a cell
- 20. Type of cell that has membraned organelles and a nucleus
- 22. All living cells use this to build proteins
- 30. Gives cells structure, shape, and support, like bones for the cell
- 31. Finger-like projections that help a cell to crawl
- 32. The cell is the most basic unit of "____ & ____"
- 35. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic (e.g. salty) environment, water ___ the cell.
- 36. Small and non-polar molecules that sneak through a membrane do this
- 37. Macromolecule that's created by ribosomes
- 39. Organelle that stores liquids, wastes, etc. Can be very large in plants
Down
- 2. In plants, uses energy from the sun to make food
- 4. The type of movement of molecules that DOES require energy
- 5. Tail-like structure that can help a cell move
- 7. Stack-of-pancakes-looking organelle that packages and modifies proteins
- 8. The type of movement of molecules that does NOT require energy
- 9. Because membranes are thin and diffusion takes time, cells are limited in the ___ to which they can grow
- 10. Type of cell that does NOT have membraned organelles or a nucleus
- 11. Surrounds every cell, made of phospholipids and proteins
- 12. All living things are made of one or more ____
- 14. The pigment found in chloroplasts, makes plants green
- 15. Transports proteins in eukaryotes, smooth or rough
- 17. Provides the instructions for proteins
- 18. Organelle containing digestive enzymes, pac-man!
- 21. Structure inside a cell that helps it efficiently live and grow
- 23. The diffusion of water specifically
- 24. Cells ___ ___ other cells
- 25. Provides eukaryotes with usable energy
- 26. If a cell contains solutes but is placed in pure water, that cell experiences a ___ environment.
- 27. As a cell grows its ___ grows much faster than its surface area
- 28. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic (e.g. pure water) environment, water ___ the cell.
- 29. This type of eukaryotic cell has lysosomes, but no chloroplasts, and often has an irregular shape
- 33. Protects the DNA in eukaryotes
- 34. Doctors give patients saline instead of pure water because this encourages a ___ environment for their cells
- 38. This type of eukaryotic cell has a cell wall, rigid shape, and is often green
