Across
  1. 1. In mitosis when the chromosomes are pulled apart
  2. 5. Transport proteins embedded in the cell membrane that help certain molecules enter the cell
  3. 7. The movement of molecules & ions from high concentration to low concentration.
  4. 8. The "Power House" of the cell that breaks down food via cellular respiration to release energy in the form of ATP
  5. 9. Membranous sacs that store or transport substances within a cell
  6. 11. Site of ribosome production in the nucleus
  7. 14. Long hairlike structure that propels sperm cells
  8. 18. Transports materials within the cell, provides attachment for ribosomes, synthesizes lipids
  9. 19. Tiny hairlike structures that beat in rhythm to propel mucus over the lining of the respiratory tract
  10. 20. It refines, packages & transports proteins
  11. 21. Located in the rough endoplasmic reticulum & cytoplasm, they unite amino acids to form proteins
  12. 24. When the cell wall wraps around a drop of liquid or solid particle and brings it into the cell
  13. 25. In mitosis when the chromatin condenses into chromosomes
  14. 26. Excessive tissue growth into a disorganized lump
Down
  1. 2. Cell death
  2. 3. Structures in the cytoplasm that perform specialized functions
  3. 4. In mitosis when spindle fibers attach to chromosomes and they line up in the middle
  4. 6. The "garbage disposals" of the cell containing 43 enzymes that break down proteins, carbohydrates, foreign particles, worn cell parts
  5. 8. A cancerous growth
  6. 10. Cells that have not yet differentiated into a specific type of cell
  7. 12. Consists of 2 centrioles that migrate to opposite sides of the nucleus and form spindle fibers that pull chromosomes apart during cell division
  8. 13. The long strands of DNA that condense into thick, visible chromosomes during mitosis
  9. 15. In mitosis when chromosomes unwind back into chromatin strands and nuclear envelopes form around each set of chromosomes.
  10. 16. A growth that is not cancerous but may interfere with the functioning of healthy tissue
  11. 17. Moving molecules & ions from a lower concentration to a higher one via transport proteins in the cell wall, which requires energy.
  12. 22. In mitosis when the chromatin (made of DNA) is duplicated
  13. 23. Diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane
