Across
  1. 4. : Anchoring junctions between cells that prevent cells under mechanical stress from being pulled apart.
  2. 13. : Division of the nucleus.
  3. 16. Fluid : Fluid inside cells, including nucleoplasm and cytosol.
  4. 18. Fluid : Fluid containing gases, nutrients, salts and water that continuously bathes the exterior of cells.
  5. 19. Tissue : Lining, covering, and glandular tissue; functions include protection and absorption.
  6. 20. : Process that uses pseudopods to engulf material into the cell.
  7. 23. : Major period in the cell cycle when the cell grows and carries on metabolic activities.
  8. 24. : Repair of tissue with dense fibrous connective tissue.
  9. 26. : Proteins with branching sugar groups found in cell membranes.
  10. 27. : Type of vesicular transport where material exits the cell.
  11. 29. : Replacement of destroyed tissue with the same kind of cells.
  12. 31. Junction : Membrane junction that is impermeable.
  13. 32. Pump : Protein carrier that uses ATP for energy.
  14. 33. Diffusion : Diffusion that requires a protein channel or a protein molecule acting as a carrier.
Down
  1. 1. : Division of the cytoplasm.
  2. 2. Endocytosis : Main cellular mechanism for taking up target molecules using receptor proteins in the membrane.
  3. 3. : Process by which molecules and ions move from high concentration to low concentration.
  4. 5. Membrane : Fragile barrier that contains cell contents and separates them from the surrounding environment.
  5. 6. : Type of vesicular transport that takes material into the cell.
  6. 7. Tissue : Most abundant and widely distributed tissue type; protects, supports, and binds tissues together.
  7. 8. Membrane : Structureless material secreted by epithelial and connective tissues; the surface epithelium rests on it.
  8. 9. Transport : Solute pumping process where a protein carrier uses ATP to move substances across the membrane against the concentration gradient.
  9. 10. : Membranous sac, typically produced by the Golgi apparatus, that contains a substance.
  10. 11. : Process where water and solutes are forced through a membrane by pressure.
  11. 12. : Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.
  12. 14. : Decrease in size of an organ or tissue due to loss of stimulation.
  13. 15. Tissue : Tissue made of neurons that conduct electrochemical impulses.
  14. 17. Tissue : Specialized tissue that contracts to produce movement.
  15. 21. Junction : Hollow protein cylinders connecting cells; allow ions and small molecules to pass directly from one cell to another.
  16. 22. : Plasma membrane indents and surrounds fluid to bring it inside.
  17. 25. Permeable : Barrier that allows some substances to pass while excluding others.
  18. 28. : Enlargement of a tissue or organ due to irritation or some condition.
  19. 30. Matrix : Nonliving material produced by connective tissue.
