Cells and Body Systems
Across
- 1. allows movement
- 2. waste removal
- 4. growth of tumours, which take up space in the lungs, making breathing difficult
- 8. hair like extensions that protrude from the surface of some unicellular organisms and some cells in multicellular organisms
- 9. coordinates and controls all organs and organ systems; detects, processes, and responds to stimuli
- 11. substance created by the body to carry out chemical digestion
- 12. transport system reaching every cell of the body; delivers nutrients absorbed by the digestive system and oxygen absorbed by the respiratory system in every cell
- 13. large muscle below the lungs that helps move air in and out of the lungs; part that changes the size of a camera's aperture; it varies the amount of light that reaches the film
- 14. all the life processes that take place in the cell; includes energy-using and energy-creating substances
- 15. protects body's internal environment from the external environment "skin"
- 17. breaks down the food you eat into parts small enough to be absorbed and transported throughout the body
- 18. covers the surface of the body and internal organs and lines the inside of some organs
- 21. supports and connects different parts of the body
- 22. the basic unit of life
- 23. contents of the cell the cell membrane excluding the nucleus; contains nutrients the cell needs to survive
Down
- 1. made of more than one cell
- 2. removes chemical and gaseous wastes from the body; involves organs from other bodily systems
- 3. thin structure that encloses all the contents of plant and animal cells
- 5. organelles that convert sunlight into food
- 6. outer covering of a cell that provides strength and support
- 7. technique for separating solutions that involves boiling and condensation
- 10. physical breakdown of food into small particles
- 16. moves bones; moves organs that contain muscle tissue
- 19. organelles that convert energy the cell receives into a form it can use
- 20. tissue of the brain, spinal chord, and nerves.
