Across
- 3. reaction in which a water molecules is needed to break up a complex molecule into smaller molecules.
- 5. inorganic molecules made up of the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen and oxygen atoms are present in the ratio 2:1.
- 6. process by which amino groups are removed from amino acids and converted to urea.
- 8. substance which can altar or speed up a chemical reaction, without itself being chemical changed at the end of the reaction.
- 10. suction force due to transpiration
- 14. the change in the three-dimensional structure of an enzyme or any other soluble protein, caused by heat or chemicals such as acid or alkalies
- 15. a group of cells with similar structures which work together to perform a specific function.
- 16. the process by which a cell becomes specialized for a specific function.
- 17. the net movement of particles(ions or molecules) from a region where they are of higher concentration to a region where they are of lower concentration, that is, down a concentration gradient.
- 18. proteins that function as biological catalysts. they can alter of speed up chemical reaction. they remains chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction.
- 19. loss of water vapour from a plant, mainly through the stomata of the leaves.
Down
- 1. process whereby digested food substances are absorbed into the body cells.
- 2. process whereby large food molecules are broken down into smaller, soluble molecules that can be absorbed into the body cells.
- 4. the rhythmic, wave-like muscular contractions in the wall of the alimentary canal.
- 5. the difference in concentration between two regions.
- 7. used to directly measure the rate of absorption of water by the plant.
- 9. inner walls of xylem vessels are strengthened by deposits of a substance
- 11. net movement of water molecules from a solution of higher water potential to a solution of lower water potential, through a partially permeable membrane.
- 12. process of engulfing or ingesting foreign particles such as bacteria, by the white blood cells.
- 13. organic molecules made up of the elements carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen. Another element, sulfur, may also be present.
