  1. 2. also known as M phase; process by which new cells are created and results in two daughter nuclei, each with genetic material identical to each other and the mother cell
  2. 3. fourth stage of mitosis
  3. 6. third stage of mitosis
  4. 11. process by which a cell releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
  5. 14. chemical product of photosynthesis
  6. 15. organic compounds produced within the plant
  7. 16. movement of dissolved substances from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.
  8. 17. Compound formed as a result of glycolysis
  9. 18. part which anchors plants into the soil with functionality to absorb water and nutrients and provide physical support for the stem
  10. 19. area in the cell where microtubules are produced
  11. 23. process which occurs after mitosis where the cell splits and two daughter cells are created, each with one nucleus.
  12. 24. one copy of a duplicated chromosome which is usually joined to the other copy by a centromere
  13. 25. process of converting light energy to chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar
  14. 27. process by which a plant grows from a seed.
  15. 28. first root of the plant which elongates during germination and forms the primary root
Down
  1. 1. diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration
  2. 4. tissue produced inside the seeds of most flowering plants which surrounds the embryo and provides nutrition in the form of starch, oils, and protein.
  3. 5. loss or evaporation of water from plant leaves through stomata
  4. 7. growth of plants in response to light
  5. 8. region of DNA typically found in the stroma of the chloroplast which links two sister chromatids
  6. 9. first embryonic leaf or leaves of a seedling which emergency at the time of germination.
  7. 10. membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells which generate most the cell's supply of ATP which is used as energy
  8. 12. first stage of mitosis
  9. 13. single piece of coiled DNA which contains many genes, regulatory elements and other nucleotide sequences.
  10. 20. second phase of mitosis
  11. 21. process in which cells lose water in a hypertonic solution
  12. 22. phase of the cell cycle in which a cell spends the majority of its time and performs most of its normal functions in preparation for cell division.
  13. 26. connective, functionally supportive framework of a biological cell or tissue
