Across
- 2. we have 23 pairs of these in the human body
- 3. a cell with 2 sets of chromosomes
- 6. a fatty layer that surrounds the axons and dendrons that electrically insulates them so that there is no loss of energy on the impulses
- 8. a tissue in plants that transports food and sugars from the leaves to the rest of the plant
- 9. anything your body is sensitive to , both inside or outside of the body
- 12. a short branched extension of a nerve cell, along which impulses received from other cells at synapses are transmitted to the cell body
- 14. DNA replication
- 15. a long tube formed by many dead xylem cells that water can easily pass through
Down
- 1. cells that create impulses which usually travel to the brain
- 3. the process that changes less specialized stem cells into specialised cells
- 4. when the "parent" cell splits into 2 identical daughter cells
- 5. a group of cells found near the endo of each shot and root that allows plants to continue growing
- 7. a cell with only 1 set of chromosomes
- 10. the long threadlike part of a nerve cell along which impulses are conducted from the cell body to other cells.
- 11. when spindle fibres come to the middle
- 13. an organ that brings out a response
