Cells
Across
- 2. transport process in which water and dissolved particles are forced across a membrane from an area of high to lower pressure
- 5. supporting framework of the cell
- 7. a passive transport mechanism that involves the movement of particles from the area of higher to lower concentration
- 9. large molecule consisting of many smaller molecules joined in sequence
- 11. pressure, pressure exerted by water
- 12. pores, perforations that regulate the passage of molecules into the nucleus
- 13. a passive transport mechanism involving the diffusion of water from an area or greater concentration of water (and a lesser concentration of solutes) to an area of lesser concentration of water (and a greater concentration of solutes)
- 14. reticulum network of membranous tubules within the cytoplasm of a cell, usually has ribosomes attached that synthesize proteins
- 16. pertains to a solution that contains a lower concentration of solutes compared with the fluid within a cell
- 17. the center of the nucleus
- 18. form a vesicular transport that releases substances outside the cell
- 20. hair-like processes on the surface of the cell that propel materials across the surface
- 22. process in which large particles are trapped in the plasma membrane and brought into the cell
- 23. membrane, the external boundary of the cell
- 24. permeability characteristic of the plasma membrane that allows some substances to pass through easily
- 25. thread-like structure that has a whip-like motion that helps move a cell
- 27. pertains to a solution that contains a higher concentration of solutes compared with the fluid within the cell
- 29. pressure water pressure that develops in a solution as a result of osmosis
- 33. form of vesicular transport that brings substances into the cell
- 35. granules of protein of RNA scattered throughout the cytoplasm, some are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum
- 37. folds of a cell membranes that greatly increase the surface area of a cell to facilitate absorption
- 39. membranous vesicles that contain enzymes that help break down protein the cell doesn't need
Down
- 1. organelle that converts organic compounds into ATP
- 3. envelope double-layered membrane surrounding the cell nucleus
- 4. acid nucleotide that assists of protein synthesis
- 6. acid, large polymer of nucleotide that carries the genetic information of a cell
- 8. the cell's "control center" that contains a complete set of the 46 chromosomes
- 10. bundles of microtubules that reside outside of the cell's nucleus
- 15. type of cell division in which the "mother" cells splits into two identical daughter cells
- 19. structures within the cell that preform specific tasks in the cellular metabolism
- 21. diffusion transport process involving diffusion of a substance through a channel protein
- 26. supporting the framework of the cell
- 28. transport movement of ions and other substances across cell membranes without the need of energy
- 30. process in which fluid and dissolved particles are trapped in the plasma membrane and brought into the cell
- 31. pertains to a solution in which the concentration of solutes is the same as in the cell
- 32. thread-like structures compound of DNA and protein that extend throughout the cell nucleus
- 34. the complete set of genes or genetic material within a cell
- 36. transport transport process in which solutes move from areas of lesser concentration
- 38. apparatus prepares proteins and packages them for export to other parts of the body
