Across
- 1. An oval-shaped protozoan organism of the genus Paramecium
- 7. Of or pertaining to the epithelium
- 9. or within a cell
- 11. The action of marking with a stria
- 13. Hairs or similar protrusions along the margin of a plant organ
- 15. A matrix of intercellular protein, in the forms of microfilaments and microtubules, that provide some rigidity to cells
- 16. Any of a group of enzymes that hydrolyze ATP and thus provides motive power for motile structures such as microtubules
- 18. Located between, or connecting, cells
- 19. Relatively great in extent from one surface to the opposite in its smallest solid dimension
- 20. The series of vertebrae, separated by disks, that encloses and protects the spinal cord, and runs down the middle of the back in vertebrate animals
- 21. A motion or action that bends
- 23. A contractile form of tissue which animals use to effect movement
- 24. A cellular organelle, similar to a centriole, associated with the formation of cilia and flagella
- 25. Any of several protists, of the genus Euglena, that contain chloroplasts and a single flagellum
- 26. A pair of two similar or equal things
- 28. Are cytological structures present in epithelium and endothelial cells that create an impermeability barrier preventing the free flow of substances between cells
- 29. The act of joining, or the state of being joined
Down
- 2. A mechanism that consists of a bar or wheel having inclined teeth into which a pawl drops
- 3. In protists, a long, whiplike membrane-enclosed organelle used for locomotion or feeding
- 4. The contractile unit of the myofibril of a striated muscle
- 5. Related to microtubules
- 6. The voluntary muscle of vertebrates
- 8. A scabbard; a holster for a sword
- 10. Any of many fingerlike extensions on the surfaces of many cells, consisting of the proteins actin, fimbrin, and villin
- 12. Generates force, and actin displaces the reaction products (ADP and Pi) from the myosin cross-bridge
- 13. Capable of contracting, or of being contracted
- 14. They are a type of cell junctions
- 17. An act of stroking (moving one's hand over a surface)
- 22. A protein that constitutes a link between microtubules in cilia and flagella
- 27. Is a two-stranded alpha-helical coiled coil protein found in actin-based cytoskeletons
