Intro to Cell Theory
Across
- 3. These simple cells don’t bother with fancy organelles or a nucleus.
- 5. A word for how crowded the molecules are in a space.
- 12. This idea says all living things are built from the same tiny building blocks.
- 13. Found only in green plant cells — it's where sunlight becomes lunch.
- 14. Molecules take the easy road, moving from where there’s a lot to where there’s less.
- 16. The jelly-like stuff where all the cell action happens.
- 17. These are like the cell’s organs, each with a special job.
- 19. The cell takes out the trash or delivers packages this way.
- 21. The “powerhouse” giving the cell its energy boost.
- 22. A cell in this type of solution is chill – no swelling or shrinking here.
- 23. Water's version of diffusion – it follows its own flow rules.
Down
- 1. These cells keep their DNA in a "VIP room" (hint: the nucleus).
- 2. The cell reaches out, grabs something, and pulls it inside.
- 4. A tiny bubble that carries stuff around inside the cell.
- 6. This part acts like the cell’s “boss,” giving out instructions
- 7. It's the tiny unit that makes you, well… you!
- 8. Watch out! Too much water and the cell might pop.
- 9. Moving molecules the hard way – with energy!
- 10. Only plant cells have this tough outer shell.
- 11. The bouncer at the entrance of the cell, deciding who gets in and who stays out
- 15. This part stores water, food, or waste — especially huge in plants.
- 18. Cells in this solution get shriveled like raisins
- 20. These little dots make proteins — kind of like a factory line.
