Biology - Chap 7
Across
- 2. threadlike structure within the nucleus containing the genetic information that is passed from one generation of ells to the next.
- 4. when the concentration of two solutions is the same
- 5. material inside the cell membrane-not including the nucleus
- 6. double-layered sheet that forms the core of nearly all cell membranes
- 9. process by which molecules tend to move from an area where they are more concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated
- 11. group of similar cells that perform a particular function
- 13. energy-requiring process that moves material across a cell membrane against a concentration difference
- 14. diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
- 17. process by which a cell takes in liquid from the surrounding environment
- 19. specialized structure that performs important cellular functions within a eukaryotic cell
- 20. movement of specific molecules across cell membranes through protein channels
- 24. when comparing two solutions, the solution with the greater concentration of solutes
- 26. the process in which cells develop in different ways to perform different tasks
- 27. thin, flexible barrier around a cell; regulates what enters and leaves the cell
- 28. cell organelle that stores materials such as water; salts, proteins, and carbohydrates
- 29. unicellular organism lacking a nucleus
- 30. network of protein filaments within some cells that helps the cell maintain its shape and is involved in many forms of cell movement
- 35. small particle in the cell on which proteins are assembled; made of RNA and protein
- 36. one of two tiny structures located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope
- 37. the center of the atom which contains the protons and neutrons; in cells, structure that contains the cell's genetic material (DNA) and controls the cell's activities
- 38. basic unit of life
Down
- 1. when the concentration of a solute is the same throughtout a solution
- 2. the mass of solute in a given volume of solution, or mass/volume
- 3. organism whose cells contain nuclei
- 7. process by which a cell takes material into the cell by infolding of the cell membrane
- 8. layer of two membranes that surrounds the nucleus of a cell
- 10. group of organs that work together to perform a specific function
- 12. cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use
- 15. granular material visible within the nucleus; consists of DNA tightly coiled around proteins
- 16. internal membrane system in cells in which lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled adn some proteins are modified
- 18. cell organelle filled with enzymes needed to break down certain materials in the cell
- 21. process in which extensions of cytoplasm surround and engulf large particles and take them into the cell
- 22. when comparing two solutions, the solution with the lesser concentration of solutes
- 23. stack of membranes in the cell that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum
- 25. organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into checmical energy
- 27. idea that all living things are composed of cells, cells are basic units of structure and function in living things, and new cells are produced from existing cells
- 31. group of tissues that work together to perform closely related functions
- 32. process by which a cell releases large amounts of material
- 33. small, dense region within most nuclei in which the assembly of proteins begins
- 34. strong supporting layer around the cell membrane in plants, algae, and some bacteria
