transport in cells
Across
- 2. Movement of substances against the concentration gradient, requiring energy (6, 9)
- 4. The movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration
- 6. A membrane that only allows certain substances to pass through (9, 9)
- 7. The barrier that controls entry and exit of substances in a cell (4, 8)
- 12. A gas that diffuses out of the blood into the alveoli (6, 7)
- 15. A type of transport that does not require energy
- 16. Cells that control the opening and closing of stomata in leaves (5, 5)
- 18. Substances absorbed by root hair cells via active transport
- 19. Tiny pores on the underside of leaves where gas exchange occurs
- 20. A gas that diffuses from alveoli into the blood
Down
- 1. The difference in concentration between two areas (13, 8)
- 3. An adaptation of exchange surfaces that shortens the diffusion distance (4, 8)
- 5. Tiny air sacs in the lungs adapted for gas exchange
- 8. The molecule that moves by osmosis
- 9. Finger-like structures in the small intestine for absorbing nutrients
- 10. Extensions of root cells that increase surface area for water uptake (4, 5)
- 11. The overall movement of particles during diffusion or osmosis (3, 8)
- 13. The diffusion of water across a partially permeable membrane
- 14. Small blood vessels with thin walls to allow efficient exchange
- 17. A sugar absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine
