Cells to Systems
Across
- 4. System, A group of organs that work together to perform complex functions in the body, such as the digestive or respiratory system.
- 7. Cells, Cells that have unique structures and functions tailored to perform specific tasks in an organism, such as nerve cells or muscle cells.
- 9. The organelle that contains the cell's genetic material (DNA) and controls cell activities.
- 11. Organelles are known as the "powerhouses" of the cell, where energy production occurs.
- 12. The basic unit of life that makes up all living organisms.
- 13. Cells, Simple cells without a nucleus or organelles, typically found in bacteria.
- 15. Tiny openings on the surface of leaves that allow for gas exchange (carbon dioxide in and oxygen out).
- 17. The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
- 18. Wall, A rigid outer layer found in plant cells that provides structure and support.
Down
- 1. Organelles found in plant cells that are responsible for photosynthesis.
- 2. The process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
- 3. A structure made up of different types of tissues that work together to perform a specific function, such as the heart or lungs.
- 5. A group of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function.
- 6. Small, finger-like projections in the small intestine that increase surface area for nutrient absorption.
- 8. Cells, Cells that have a nucleus and organelles, found in organisms like plants and animals.
- 10. Membrane, The outer layer of a cell that controls what enters and exits the cell.
- 14. Cells, Specialised cells that surround stomata and control their opening and closing to regulate gas exchange.
- 16. Specialised structures within a cell that perform specific functions, such as the nucleus and mitochondria.
