Across
  1. 3. The phase of mitosis where DNA condenses into chromosomes, the nucleus breaks down, and spindle fibers form.
  2. 6. This process in cells does not release as much energy from food and does not use oxygen.
  3. 8. The female part of the flower that contains the ovary.
  4. 9. This contains an undeveloped plant inside a protective coating.
  5. 10. From the word “thread”, this stage of the cell cycle separates identical copies of DNA into two new nuclei.
  6. 14. One reason an organism’s cells might divide.
  7. 17. The phase of mitosis where identical copies of DNA are pulled apart—to opposite sides of the cell.
  8. 20. The microscopic holes in the bottom of leaves that allow gases to come in and out.
  9. 21. The process by which plant and some bacteria cells are able to store energy in carbohydrates.
  10. 23. dioxide This gas when converted into carbohydrates, makes up about 95% of the mass of plants (2 words).
  11. 24. This part of the plant transports food and water from the leaves to the roots.
  12. 25. The stage of the cell cycle where the cell grows, makes a copy of its DNA, and prepares to divide.
  13. 26. One reason an organism’s cells might divide.
  14. 29. A product of fermentation that is used in producing wines.
  15. 30. The phase of mitosis where chromosomes attach to spindle fibers and line up in the middle of the cell.
  16. 32. The product of photosynthesis that stores energy for the plant.
  17. 34. This gas is a by-product of photosynthesis and is essential for aerobic respiration.
Down
  1. 1. This allows things to organisms to move, reproduce, and perform life processes.
  2. 2. A product of fermentation that builds up in muscles during intense exercise (2 words).
  3. 4. This process in cells allows organisms to process food and release energy from it using oxygen (2 words).
  4. 5. One reason an organism’s cells might divide.
  5. 7. The last phase of mitosis, where two new nuclei form at opposite sides of the cell.
  6. 11. When comparing photosynthesis and cellular respiration you could say they are __________________________ processes.
  7. 12. The process by which a cell grows, replicates its DNA, and splits into two daughter cells (2 words).
  8. 13. These types of organisms include plants and photosynthetic bacteria that can store energy in their own food.
  9. 15. When a cell makes an exact copy of its DNA, this has occurred.
  10. 16. This green pigment allows plants to capture sunlight.
  11. 18. The last stage of the cell cycle where two daughter cells are form.
  12. 19. DNA condenses into these structures.
  13. 22. These types of organisms depend on other organisms for food.
  14. 27. This part of the plant anchors it in the ground and allows it to absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
  15. 28. The substance is split during photosynthesis into hydrogen and oxygen.
  16. 31. The majority of organisms on Earth get their energy directly or indirectly from this source
  17. 33. The male part of the flower that holds pollen.
