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