Biology Unit 3 Vocab
Across
- 3. strong, supporting layer around the cell membrane in some cells
- 6. cell organelle that breaks down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins into small molecules that can used by the rest of the cell
- 7. microscopic, hair-like projections on the surfaces of some cells and of certain organisms
- 8. cellular transport where substances move against a concentration gradient. (requires energy)
- 9. process by which particles tend to move from an area where they are more concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated
- 12. the process by which cells move materials from within the cell into the extracellular fluid.
- 13. groups of organs and tissues that work together
- 16. organism whose cells contain a nucleus
- 18. microscope that uses multiple lenses and light to enlarge the image of a sample
- 22. a process by which liquid droplets are ingested by living cells; it is one type of endocytosis
- 25. groups of cells that work together (same job)
- 26. thin, flexible barrier that surrounds all cells; regulates what enters and leaves the cell
- 28. process by which solids are ingested by living cells; it is another type of endocytosis
- 29. the process by which cells move materials out of the cell
- 30. when comparing two solutions, the solution with the greater concentration of solutes
- 31. property of biological membranes that allows some substances to pass across it while others cannot; also called semi permeable membrane
Down
- 1. fluid portion of the cell outside the nucleus
- 2. cells can develop in different ways to have different features to help them carry out a special task to help the organism function
- 4. a process through which bulk amounts of specific molecules can be imported into a cell after binding to cell surface receptors.
- 5. process of diffusion in which molecules pass across the membrane through cell membrane channels
- 10. group of tissues that work together
- 11. when the concentration of two solutions is the same
- 14. tiny sacs that transport material within or outside the cell.
- 15. cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates
- 17. unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus
- 19. diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
- 20. network of protein filaments in a eukaryotic cell that gives the cell its shape and internal organization and is involved in movement
- 21. a microscopic hair-like tail used by cells and microorganisms for movement (usually only 1 or 2)
- 23. pressure that must be applied to stop water from diffusing across a selectively permeable membrane
- 24. when comparing two solutions, the solution with the lesser concentration of solutes
- 26. fundamental concept of biology that states that all living things are composed of cells; that cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things; and that new cells are produced from existing cells
- 27. Microscope--a microscope with high magnification that uses electron beams in place of light
