Specialized Cells and Tissues 5.1
Across
- 4. A type of tissue in plants that covers and protects the outer surface of the plant.
- 5. Round, red-colored blood cells that contain hemoglobin, which transports oxygen.
- 9. Small parts that stick out of the cells in the outer layer of a plant's root.
- 10. Any of the unspecialized cells in a multicellular organism. Stem cells can divide and become any cell type in the body, except a sperm or egg cell.
- 13. An extension from the cell body of a neuron that sends signals to other cells.
- 14. Cells that cover the internal and external surfaces in a body.
- 16. A type of tissue in animals that shortens, or contracts, to move bones or substances in the body.
- 18. A bundle of axons that carries signals to or from the brain.
- 19. A type of tissue in plants that transports water and food throughout the plant.
- 20. A type of tissue in animals that provides support and protection, fills spaces, stores fat, produces blood cells, and helps to repair damage.
Down
- 1. A type of tissue in animals that carries electrical signals to coordinate and control what happens in the body.
- 2. The vascular tissue in plants that carries water and dissolved minerals upward from the roots to the rest of the plant.
- 3. A type of tissue in plants that provides support and is where food is made and stored.
- 6. A type of tissue that covers organs or forms the inner lining of body cavities.
- 7. Cells that carry signals throughout the nervous system. Nerve cells are also called neurons.
- 8. Cells that contract or change shape to cause movement.
- 11. A plant that does not have vascular tissue.
- 12. A plant that has a system of vessels that transport water and dissolved nutrients throughout the plant.
- 15. The vascular tissue in plants that carries dissolved organic nutrients in all directions within the plant.
- 17. Short, hairlike parts on the outside of a cell that move.
