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