Biology
Across
- 8. is the change in living things over time. More specifically, evolution is a change in the genetic makeup of a subgroup, or population, of a species
- 9. is the basic unit of life. In fact, microscopic, single-celled organisms are the most common forms of life on Earth.
- 12. is any individual living thing. All organisms on Earth share certain characteristics
- 14. includes using our senses to study the world
- 15. is an organized group of related parts that interact to form a whole.
- 16. are cylinder-shaped organelles made of short microtubules arranged in a circle
- 17. are organelles that carry out photosynthesis
- 18. is a physical environment with different species that interact with one another and with nonliving things
- 20. is the smallest basic unit of matter.
Down
- 1. is the movement of molecules in a fluid or gas from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration
- 2. is a fluid-filled sac used for the storage of materials needed by a cell
- 3. is a protein that detects a signal molecule and performs an action in response.
- 4. is a proposed answer for a scientific question. A hypothesis must be specific and testable
- 5. are catalysts for chemical reactions in living things
- 6. is the scientific study of all forms of life
- 7. is the study and comparison of genomes both within and across species. Here again, biologists need to use computers
- 10. The conditions that do not change during an experiment
- 11. is the use and application of living things and biological processes
- 13. provides an enlarged image of an object
- 19. is a proposed explanation for a wide range of observations and experimental results that is supported by a wide range of evidence
