Across
  1. 2. A small, circular piece of DNA found in bacterial cells. The handy USB stick for sharing extra genetic info.
  2. 7. The rigid outer layer made of cellulose that provides support and shape. The plant cell's very own suit of armor. (Two words)
  3. 10. cell is for movement of mucus in the trachea and bronchi
  4. 12. You slice an object into two: left and right part.
  5. 13. A group of organs that work together to perform a major function. The ultimate corporate department of the body. (Two words)
  6. 14. The net movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a dilute to a concentrated solution. Fancy water diffusion that loves to balance things out.
  7. 15. A unicellular organism with a simple cell structure without a nucleus. The ancient, minimalist single-room apartment of the cell world.
  8. 16. Your brain cell (in general).
  9. 18. How much bigger an image appears compared to the real object. Making small things look impressively, undeniably huge.
  10. 19. That energy your "powerhouse" of the cell made.
  11. 20. Bacteria have it, but Animals and Plants don't (characteristic).
  12. 21. What do you use to see those tiny little organisms?
  13. 25. The site of aerobic respiration, releasing energy for the cell. The mighty power plant.
  14. 26. Smaller than Millimetres
  15. 27. A group of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function. The cell's version of a well-organized team.
Down
  1. 1. A space in the cytoplasm filled with cell sap, keeps the cell rigid. The plant's built-in water storage canteen.
  2. 3. Sperm cells and many organisms need it to move.
  3. 4. The solar panel restaurant (organelle) that makes food from sunlight.
  4. 5. The movement of particles against a concentration gradient, requiring energy. The cellular superhero that moves stuff uphill! (Two words)
  5. 6. A structure made of different tissues working together to perform a specific function. The tissues' group project that became a vital body part.
  6. 8. The selectively permeable barrier that controls what enters and exits the cell. The ultimate bouncer for the cell club (Two words).
  7. 9. The tiny, protein-making machine that doesn't get paid overtime.
  8. 10. The jelly-like substance where most chemical reactions happen. It's the cell's busy, messy workshop floor.
  9. 11. The ability to distinguish between two separate points. It's not just zooming in, it's about seeing the details clearly.
  10. 17. Contains genetic material (DNA) that controls the cell's activities. The bossy manager of the cellular office.
  11. 22. An organism with complex cells containing a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. The fancy, multi-room mansion with specialized furniture.
  12. 23. The net movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration. Like people spreading out in a room to avoid a crowded snack table.
  13. 24. cool, latinized name for the red blood cell.
