BIOLOGY
Across
- 6. Covers the thin cell membrane and is made up of tough cellulose which strengthens the cell
- 7. A group of similar cells
- 9. An enzyme found in saliva
- 12. When a cell becomes swollen with water
- 13. Chemicals that speed up reactions
- 14. Living organisms that are made up of more than one cell
- 17. When the solutions on each side of cell membranes are the same concentration
- 18. Movement of water molecules from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration across a partially permeable membrane
- 19. Uses a beam of electrons instead of light rays to see the structures inside cells in detail
- 20. When animals cells become swollen and burst
Down
- 1. When plant cells placed into a concentrated sugar or salt solution water passes out of the cells by osmosis
- 2. The basic units of which all living organisms are made
- 3. A thin skin around the cell that gives the cell its shape and controls what goes into and out of the cell
- 4. When enzymes break down large food molecules into smaller ones inside the gut
- 5. The uptake of substances by cells against a concentration gradient
- 8. Undifferentiated cells that are capable of developing into many different types of cells
- 10. Important proteins called biological catalysts that lower activation energy of reaction hence speeding it up
- 11. Cells that carry out photosynthesis
- 15. A single cell organism
- 16. The net movement of particles from a higher concentration to a lower concentration until they are spread out evenly
