Unit on the cell and body systems
Across
- 4. moves water from roots to leaves or shoots to use in photosynthesis
- 6. convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy uses carbon dioxide and water
- 8. moves substances that plant produces mostly sugars throughout the plant
- 11. fills the space between the epidermis and bascular tissue in a plant
- 12. skin at the base of our nail for protection
- 14. cell that possesses a defined nucleus
- 20. organism a single celled organism
- 22. the outer protective layer of a plant that acts as a skin has cells called the epidermis
- 23. plant tissue that transports water and nutrients
- 25. processes and sorts and packages proteins and lipids
- 26. a part of the cell enclosed in its membrane found only in eukaryotic cells
Down
- 1. the liquid that fills the inside of a cell
- 2. organisms whose cells lack a nucleus
- 3. essential for protein production lipid metabolism transports proteins and lipids
- 5. contains digestive enzymes to break down waste
- 7. a living thing that can function independently, can be uni or multi cellular
- 9. powerhouse of the cell, generates most of the chemical energy
- 10. cells that regulate gas exchange and water loss by opening and closing stomata
- 13. stores water, food, waste and other materials in a cell
- 15. synthesizes the proteins in the cells
- 16. organism organism composed of many cells
- 17. allow for gas exchange between the plant and the environment
- 18. convert sunlight into chemical energy -reponsible for photosynthesis
- 19. contains the cell's genetic DNA in chromosomes
- 21. the membrane found in all cells that separate the interior of the cell from the outside
- 24. hard layer that surrounds cells, they provide protection and shape to a cell
