Across
- 3. hydrophobic biological molecule composed mostly of carbon and hydrogen; fats, oils, and waxes are lipids
- 5. an energy-requiring process by which substances move across the plasma membrane against a concentration gradient from low to high concentration
- 7. passive transport of ions and small molecules across the plasma membrane by transport proteins
- 9. diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
- 10. the condition of continuous, random movement of particles but no overall change in concentration of materials
- 12. a solution with the same concentration of water and solutes as inside a cell, resulting in the cell retaining its normal shape because there is no net movement of water
- 16. a property of the plasma membrane that allows it to control movement of substances into or out of the cell
- 18. energy-requiring process by which a cell expels wastes and secretes substances at the plasma membrane
- 19. a protein that moves substances or wastes through the plasma membrane
- 20. the basic unit of structure and organization of all living organisms
- 21. an organic compound composed of amino acids joined by peptide bonds; a primary building block of organisms
- 22. plasma membrane layers composed of phospholipid molecules arranged with polar heads facing the outside and nonpolar tails facing the inside
- 23. a net movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
Down
- 1. an organic compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio of one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom
- 2. a solution that has a higher concentration of solute outside than inside of a cell, causing water to leave the cell by osmosis
- 4. a cell without a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles
- 6. a plasma membrane with components constantly in motion, sliding past one another in the lipid bilayer
- 8. a cell with a membrane-bound nucleus and organelles; generally larger and more complex than a prokaryotic cell
- 11. movement of substances from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration without requiring energy
- 13. a flexible selectively permeable boundary that helps control what enters and leaves the cell
- 14. A theory that states that:(1) organisms are made of one or more cells;2) cells are the basic unit of life;(3) cells come only from other cells
- 15. a solution that has a lower concentration of solute outside than inside the cell, causing water to flow into the cell by osmosis
- 17. an energy-requiring process by which large substances from outside the environment can enter a cell
