Cell Biology and Cell Transport
Across
- 2. A coiled threadlike structure of DNA found in the nucleus carrying genetic information in the form of genes (Starts with C, 10 letters)
- 3. The tiny structures inside a cell where protein synthesis occurs (Starts with R, 9 letters)
- 8. The movement of substances from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated solution against a concentration gradient requiring energy (Starts with A, 15 letters)
- 10. The net movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration (Starts with D, 9 letters)
- 12. The structure that controls the passage of substances into and out of the cell (Starts with C, 12 letters)
- 13. The ability of a microscope to distinguish between two separate points to show detail (Starts with R, 10 letters)
- 18. Cells that contain a nucleus and membrane bound organelles such as plant and animal cells (Starts with E, 10 letters)
- 19. The organelles where aerobic respiration takes place to release energy for the cell (Starts with M, 12 letters)
- 20. The organelle that contains genetic material and controls the activities of the cell (Starts with N, 7 letters)
Down
- 1. The plant cell organelles that absorb light energy to carry out photosynthesis (Starts with C, 12 letters)
- 4. How many times bigger an image appears compared to the real object (Starts with M, 13 letters)
- 5. The jelly like substance where most of the chemical reactions happen inside a cell (Starts with C, 9 letters)
- 6. An undifferentiated cell capable of dividing and giving rise to many more cells of the same type (Starts with S, 8 letters)
- 7. A permanent structure in plant cells filled with cell sap to keep the cell rigid (Starts with V, 7 letters)
- 9. The process by which a cell changes to become specialised for its specific function (Starts with D, 15 letters)
- 11. Simple smaller cells that do not have a nucleus such as bacteria (Starts with P, 11 letters)
- 14. A type of cell division where one cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells for growth and repair (Starts with M, 7 letters)
- 15. A small circular loop of DNA found in bacterial cells separate from the main genetic material (Starts with P, 7 letters)
- 16. A rigid outer layer made of cellulose that strengthens and supports plant cells (Starts with C, 8 letters)
- 17. The diffusion of water from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane (Starts with O, 7 letters)
