  1. 4. Any of a class of organic compounds that are fatty acids or their derivatives and are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents.
  2. 7. A process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane.
  3. 9. Having a higher osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid.
  4. 10. Diffusion is the net movement of anything from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Diffusion is driven by a gradient in concentration.
Down
  1. 1. The physical property of a molecule that is seemingly repelled from a mass of water.
  2. 2. An infective agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat, is too small to be seen by light microscopy, and is able to multiply only within the living cells of a host.
  3. 3. Having a lower osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid.
  4. 5. A microscopic single-celled organism that has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles. Prokaryotes include the bacteria and cyanobacteria.
  5. 6. An organism consisting of a cell or cells in which the genetic material is DNA in the form of chromosomes contained within a distinct nucleus. Eukaryotes include all living organisms other than the eubacteria and archaebacteria.
  6. 8. Denoting or relating to a solution having the same osmotic pressure as some other solution, especially one in a cell or a body fluid.
