Across
  1. 2. A phospholipid bilayer studded with proteins that surrounds cells and separates them from their environment.
  2. 4. A virus that attacks T cells in the immune system and can lead to AIDS acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
  3. 6. Identical antibodies that have been produced by an immune cell that has been cloned from a parent cell.
  4. 8. The series of stages preparing the cell for division consisting of interphase and mitosis.
  5. 12. The process where phagocytes engulf and destroy material.
  6. 17. A membrane bound structure found in plant cells that contains cell sap.
  7. 18. The introduction of dead or inactive pathogens to stimulate an immune response and provide long term immunity.
  8. 19. Division of the cytoplasm to produce two new cells.
  9. 20. A protein found in the blood that is produced by plasma cells which binds to antigens as a part of the immune response.
  10. 24. The clumping together of cells or particles caused by antibodies which assists phagocytosis.
  11. 25. The ability to distinguish two different points in a specimen.
  12. 27. A type of disease immunity that occurs when a large proportion of a population are vaccinated against a disease which prevents the spread of the disease to unvaccinated individuals.
  13. 28. A type of T cell in the immune system that stimulates cytotoxic T cells B cells and phagocytes.
  14. 31. A model that describes membrane structure as a sea of mobile phospholipids studded with various proteins.
  15. 32. Marker molecules that can be detected by antibodies and trigger an immune response.
  16. 33. Organelles found either free in the cytoplasm or membrane bound that are involved in the synthesis of proteins.
  17. 34. A method of membrane transport where two substances are both transported across a membrane at the same time either in the same direction or opposite directions.
Down
  1. 1. A circular loop of DNA found in the cytoplasm of bacterial cells.
  2. 3. A whip-like structure found on bacterial cells that is used for cell movement.
  3. 5. A membrane-bound organelle that is involved in the synthesis and packaging of proteins.
  4. 7. An organelle found in eukaryotic cells that is involved in the modification and packaging of proteins.
  5. 9. Membrane-bound vesicles found in the cytoplasm that contain a hydrolytic enzyme called lysozyme.
  6. 10. An organelle found in plants and algae that is the site of photosynthesis.
  7. 11. A form of immunity provided by the introduction of antibodies to a disease into the body.
  8. 13. A membrane-bound organelle involved in lipid synthesis.
  9. 14. The passive movement of substances from a high concentration to a lower concentration down their concentration gradient through transport proteins without the use of energy.
  10. 15. The response produced by the immune system when it encounters a pathogen for the first time.
  11. 16. The response produced by the immune system when it recognises a pathogen that it has encountered before.
  12. 21. The production of many genetically identical daughter cells through cell division of the activated B or T lymphocyte after clonal selection.
  13. 22. A form of immunity provided by the immune response of the body upon detection of a pathogen.
  14. 23. The process of matching the antigens on an antigen presenting cells with the antigen receptors on B and T lymphocytes.
  15. 24. The active movement of substances from a low concentration to a higher concentration up their concentration gradient with the use of energy in the form of ATP.
  16. 26. A permeable layer that surrounds plant algae and fungi cells made of polysaccharides which provides strength to the cell.
  17. 29. The passive spreading out of substances from a high concentration to a lower concentration down their concentration gradient without the use of energy.
  18. 30. The method of cell division used by prokaryotes involving replication of the circular DNA and plasmids followed by cytoplasmic division.
