All About Cells
Across
- 7. microscopic hair-like structures involved in the movement of a cell
- 9. found inside the nucleus of a cell. A chromosome is made up of proteins and DNA organized to make up genes.
- 11. primary function is to produce and assemble the cell's ribosomes.
- 12. A state of balance among all the body systems needed for the body to survive and function correctly.
- 15. when molecules move across a cell membrane from a lower concentration to a higher concentration.
- 16. break down excess or worn-out cell parts.
- 17. the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a lower concentration through a smart barrier
- 18. the smallest unit that can live on its own and that makes up all living organisms and the tissues of the body.
- 21. a structure that helps cells maintain their shape and internal organization
- 22. move substances into or out of the cell.
Down
- 1. a solution that has lower osmotic pressure
- 2. the site of protein synthesis in the cell.
- 3. play a critical role in the generation of metabolic energy in eukaryotic cells.
- 4. organic substances that maintain a constant pH over a given range by neutralizing the effects of hydrogen ions.
- 5. acts as the packaging center of the cell.
- 6. involved in lipid biosynthesis.
- 8. contains dna as well as being the control center of te cell
- 10. convert light energy into relatively stable chemical energy via photosynthesis.
- 13. provides protection for a cell.
- 14. contains the instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce.
- 19. a biological membrane consisting of two layers of lipid molecules.
- 20. organizing microtubules that serve as the cell's skeletal system.
- 21. the wall of a cell in plants, bacteria, fungi, algae, and some archaea.
