Cell Biology

2. A molecule made of amino acids, essential for cell function.
4. Type of blood cell that produces antibodies, antitoxins and can phagocytose bacteria.
6. type of blood cell that transports oxygen
9. Specialised cell, with a flagellum, enzyme coated head, lots of mitochondria and only 50% genetic material.
11. An organism whose cells lack a nucleus - consists mainly of bacteria cells.
12. The basic unit of life.
13. The type of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.
16. The process by which cells become specialised.
17. The type of cell division that results in four genetically different daughter cells.
19. The rigid outer layer found in plant cells, providing strength .
20. The site of protein synthesis in a cell.
22. An organism whose cells contain a nucleus - consists of plant and animal cells.
23. The control center of a cell containing DNA.
24. An undifferentiated cell that can develop into different cell types.

1. A segment of DNA that codes for a protein.
3. Type of specialised cell, transmits electrical impulses around the body
5. Found in plant cells, stores liquid.
7. The molecule that carries genetic information.
8. Site of cellular respiration, enabling energy transfer.
10. Specialised cell in the plant, found in the leaf, packed with chloroplasts
14. Specialised cell in the plant, found in the soil, large surface area to absorb water.
15. The jelly-like substance within a cell where chemical reactions occur.
18. A protein that speeds up chemical reactions in the cell, they also break down our food.
19. The site of photosynthesis in plant cells.
21. Surrounds the cell and controls what enters and exits the cell
