The Cell in Action
Across
- 2. the phase when chromosomes are copied
- 3. the process by which a cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses the particle in a vesicle to bring the particle into the cell
- 5. the phase when a nuclear membrane forms and mitosis is complete
- 7. chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes and the same structure
- 9. the life cycle of a cell
- 10. the movement of particles from regions of higher density to regions of lower density
- 12. the movement of substances across the cell membrane that requires the cell to use energy
- 14. the breakdown of food without the use of oxygen
- 15. the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy by the cell
- 19. the diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane
- 20. in eukaryotic cells, a process of cell division that forms two nuclei, each of which has the same number of chromosomes
Down
- 1. the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make food
- 4. in a eukaryotic cell, one of the structures in the nucleus that are made up of DNA and protein; in a prokaryotic cell, the main ring of DNA
- 6. molecules that absorb light energy
- 8. the process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy from food
- 11. the phase when chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell
- 13. the division of the cytoplasm of a cell
- 16. the process in which a cell releases a particle by enclosing the particle in a vesicle that then moves to the cell surface and fuses with the cell membrane
- 17. the phase when chromatids separate and move to the opposite sides of the cell
- 18. the phase when chromosomes condense into rodlike structures
