Cells and system
Across
- 1. a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one.
- 4. The systems in living things are built from
- 5. a membrane that only lets specific substances through
- 6. the loss of water from the plant through evaporation
- 8. a set of connected parts forming a more complex, coordinated whole.
- 10. elongated microscopic outgrowths from the outer layer of cells in a root, absorbing moisture and nutrients from the soil.
- 12. in the plant cell then transports substances using diffusion
- 13. plant vascular tissue that conveys water and dissolved minerals from the roots
- 15. a green pigment
- 16. controls what enters and leaves the nucleus
- 17. a group of cells that have similar structure and that function together as a unit.
- 20. have two lenses which increase magnification up to 2000x
- 22. all living things are composed of
Down
- 1. organs work together to form
- 2. They act as storage spaces for wastes, surplus food and other substances that the cell does not need immediately.
- 3. the pressure that must be applied to the solution side to stop fluid movement when a semipermeable membrane separates a solution from pure water.
- 7. The cellular components are called
- 9. a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms
- 11. also known as a single-celled organism
- 14. This force helps in the upward movement of water into the xylem vessels.
- 18. organisms with many cells
- 19. movement of anything from higher concentration to lower concentration
- 21. Tissues group and work together to create
