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