Discovery of Cells and Cell Theory
Across
- 3. a specialized tissue in a body that controls the heart.
- 5. The basic unit of life.
- 7. In 1665, this scientist discovered cells by observing thin slices of cork under a microscope.
- 8. A type of cell that has a nucleus and many membrane-bound structures. (Examples: plant, animal, and fungi cells)
- 10. Tissues come together to form these structures, which carry out important functions for the body. (Examples: heart, stomach, and skin)
- 13. This organelle is a sac that stores water, food, and/or waste products.
- 14. This rigid outer covering is found only in plant cells. It gives the plant cell structure and support.
- 15. a specialized tissue in a body helps with movement.
- 17. A jelly-like substance that fills the cell and contains all of the organelles.
- 18. This organelle forms the cells boundary (its outer covering).
Down
- 1. a specialized tissue in the body that transports messages from the brain to locations throughout the body.
- 2. This organelle provides energy for the cell.
- 4. A type of cell that does not have a nucleus or other membrane-bound structures. (Example: Bacteria)
- 6. Robert Hooke, Theodor Schwann, Matthias Schleiden, Rudolph Virchow all made discoveries, which contributed to the development of this fundamental principle of biology.
- 9. Cells that work together for a common function form __________.
- 10. Parts of a cell that carry out important functions for the cell.
- 11. This organelle contains DNA and directs the cell’s activity
- 12. This scientific tool magnifies small objects, making it possible to observe cells.
- 16. This green, disc-shaped organelle is found only in plant cells. Photosynthesis takes place within this organelle.
