Across
- 5. The Dutch scientist considered the Father of Microbiology for being the first to clearly see bacteria
- 9. The vital process by which plant cells make their own food with the help of chlorophyll and sunlight
- 11. A thin layer of tissue scraped from the inside of the mouth to study animal cell structure
- 12. The green pigment found inside chloroplasts that traps light energy to help plants make food
- 13. A large empty-looking space in plant cells that helps store substances and maintain cell shape
- 14. The thin square piece of glass placed over the specimen on a slide to protect it and keep it flat
- 15. The English scientist who first observed and named cells in 1665 after looking at a thin slice of cork
- 16. An extra outer layer present in plant cells like onion peel cells that provides rigidity and strength
- 17. Tiny rod-shaped structures found in all parts of a plant cell that can contain pigments or store food
- 19. The outer layer common to all cells that separates one cell from another and controls what enters and exits
Down
- 1. The blue-coloured stain used during the cheek cell experiment to make animal cell structures visible
- 2. The round structure in the middle of a cell that regulates all cellular activities and growth
- 3. Any living being whether a plant or an animal
- 4. The liquid chemical added to a cell slide to prevent the cells from drying up and improve clarity
- 6. The dead bark material from a tree that was examined under a primitive microscope to reveal empty compartments
- 7. The jelly-like space between the cell membrane and the nucleus where most life processes take place
- 8. The scientific invention or tool that opened up the fascinating hidden world of tiny living creatures
- 10. The famous book published by Robert Hooke in 1665 containing detailed drawings of microscopic things
- 11. Tiny green rod-shaped structures or plastids in plant cells that contain chlorophyll and help in photosynthesis
- 18. The red-coloured stain used during the onion peel experiment to give a pinkish colour to the cells
