Across
  1. 3. processes substances like protein and lipids and stores energy
  2. 6. captures energy from the sun and converts it into energy that can be used by the cells. Only in organisms that perform photosynthesis.
  3. 11. An organism made up of one cell.
  4. 13. Nutrients the body uses to build and maintain its cells and tissues
  5. 15. fats and oils that store energy in cells
  6. 16. Broken down to glucose to provide energy.
  7. 19. the natural process where particles spread out, moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
  8. 20. The basic unit of structure and function in all living things
  9. 21. the system that removes waste from your body and controls water balance
  10. 23. how it is made and how the parts are put together
  11. 24. receives proteins and distributes to other parts of the cell
  12. 27. the job or specialized activities
  13. 29. Consists of skeletal muscles, tendons that connect muscles to bones, and ligaments that attach bones together to form joint
  14. 31. clear gel that fills the cell, carries nutrients and proteins throughout the cell
  15. 33. The cells and tissues that recognize and attack foreign substances in the body
  16. 35. the parts of a cell
  17. 36. the network of nerve cells and fibers that transmits nerve impulses between parts of the body.
  18. 37. Membrane thin, flexible barrier that controls what substance enter and exit the cell
  19. 38. contains the cells DNA and controls the cell's activities
  20. 39. process cells use to pass material through the cell membrane against the normal flow
Down
  1. 1. Protects and supports body organs and provides a framework the muscles use to support movement. Made up of bones and joints
  2. 2. Wall protects and supports the cell. Is not found in animal cells
  3. 4. Glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction, and nutrient use (metabolism) by body cells.
  4. 5. process by which organisms maintain a relatively stable internal environment
  5. 7. Theory idea that all living things are composed of cells, cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things, and new cells are produced from existing cells
  6. 8. An organism made up of many cells
  7. 9. a signal to which an organism responds
  8. 10. different tissues that function together
  9. 12. Breaks down food into absorbable units that enter the blood for distribution to body cells.
  10. 14. break down food into smaller parts and breaks down old cell parts
  11. 17. Consists of the skin, mucous membranes, hair, and nail
  12. 18. stores water, food and other materials
  13. 20. (aka cardiovascular system) This system works as the transportation highway for the body. It consists of the heart, blood, and blood vessels. It transports substances such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrients in the body.
  14. 22. An action or change in behavior that occurs as a result of a stimulus.
  15. 25. A system of organs, functioning in the process of gas exchange between the body and the environment, consisting especially of the nose, nasal passages, nasopharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs.
  16. 26. a group of organs that work together to perform a specific function
  17. 28. A group of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function.
  18. 30. converts the energy in food into energy that can be used by the cell
  19. 32. the movement of materials (like oxygen or water) across a cell membrane without using the cell's energy
  20. 34. An instrument that makes small objects look larger
