Across
- 2. one of two main physiological types of cells in the primary visual cortex
- 3. a microscopic membrane of lipids and proteins which forms the external boundary of the cytoplasm of a cell or encloses a vacuole, and regulates the passage of molecules in and out of the cytoplasm.
- 7. a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
- 9. power house of cell
- 10. a liquid mixture in which the minor component is uniformly distributed within the major component
- 13. The large network consisting of protein fibers and other molecules that gives shape and structure to cells in the body
- 14. tending to repel or fail to mix with water
- 15. a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes
- 16. a spherical structure found in the cell's nucleus whose primary function is to produce and assemble the cell's ribosomes
- 18. the minor component in a solution, dissolved in the solvent
- 19. blueprint that contains instructions needed for the body
- 21. the gelatinous liquid that fills the inside of a cell
- 22. the material of which the chromosomes of organisms other than bacteria are composed
Down
- 1. a double layer that encloses the cell's nucleus
- 4. a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane
- 5. one of a series of openings found in the cell's nuclear membrane
- 6. a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells
- 8. having a tendency to mix with, dissolve in, or be wetted by water
- 11. the aqueous component of the cytoplasm of a cell, within which various organelles and particles are suspended.
- 12. A liquid that is able to dissolve a solid
- 17. structural units of all living things
- 20. all biological organisms are composed of cells
