  4. 8. Forming words regarding or pertaining to cells
  5. 10. any of a class of natural or synthetic organic compounds characterized by a molecular structure of 17 carbon atoms arranged in four rings.
  6. 13. the movement of molecules or ions across a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration—against the concentration gradient
  7. 14. the main type of sugar in the blood and is the major source of energy for the body's cells
  8. 15. low, under, beneath, down, or below normal
  9. 18. the medical term used to describe the destruction of red blood cells.
  10. 20. The suffix used in biochemistry to form the names of sugars
  11. 21. quantitative measure of the acidity or basicity of aqueous or other liquid solutions
  12. 24. membrane-bound cell organelles that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions
  13. 25. a term used to refer to having a greater degree of tone, tension, or tonicity
  14. 27. A combining form or prefix denoting many, multiplicity
  15. 28. A carbohydrate is a biomolecule consisting of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms- found in most foods

Down
  1. 1. the process by which biological fuels are oxidised in the presence of an inorganic electron acceptor, such as oxygen, to drive the bulk production of adenosine triphosphate, which contains energy
  2. 2. the membrane found in all cells that separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment.
  3. 3. the unfolding or breaking up of a protein, modifying its standard three-dimensional structure
  4. 5. a type of membrane transport that does not require energy to move substances across cell membranes. Instead of using cellular energy, like active transport, passive transport relies on the second law of thermodynamics to drive the movement of substances across cell membranes
