- 3. Seven characteristics of life: Movement, Respiration, Sensitivity, Growth, Reproduction, Excretion, Nutrition.
- 4. The basic building block of all living things.
- 8. Proteins made by white blood cells that recognise and destroy specific pathogens.
- 9. Controls the activities of the cell and contains genetic material.
- 12. A living thing too small to see without a microscope.
- 15. A large storage space in plant cells containing cell sap.
- 17. Jelly-like substance inside cells where chemical reactions happen.
Down
- 1. A structure in plant cells where photosynthesis takes place.
- 2. An instrument used to magnify small objects such as cells.
- 5. The use of weakened or dead pathogens to stimulate immunity without causing illness.
- 6. A tiny infectious agent smaller than bacteria; only reproduces inside host cells.
- 7. Microorganisms such as mould and yeast; some cause infections, others are useful in food production.
- 10. The process plants use to make food using light, found in chloroplasts.
- 11. When your body remembers how to fight a pathogen so you do not get sick again.
- 13. Glass parts that magnify objects; total magnification = eyepiece × objective lense
- 14. A process where white blood cells surround and digest pathogens.
- 16. Single-celled microorganisms that come in shapes such as rods, spirals, and spheres; some cause disease, while others are useful.
