Across
- 2. Cell – A simpler cell without a nucleus (e.g., bacteria).
- 4. – A living thing so small it can only be seen with a microscope (e.g., bacteria, fungi, algae).
- 6. – The jelly-like substance inside the cell where organelles float.
- 7. – Small structures inside a cell that have specific jobs (like organs in a body).
- 8. – The molecule that carries genetic information in the nucleus.
- 10. Membrane – The thin layer that surrounds the cell and controls what enters and leaves.
- 12. – A storage space inside a cell for water, nutrients, or waste.
- 14. – Tiny, single-celled organisms that can be helpful or harmful.
- 16. – The glass part of the microscope that magnifies objects.
- 17. – The green organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis happens.
- 20. – The "powerhouse" of the cell that provides energy.
- 22. Cell – A cell with a nucleus and organelles (e.g., animal and plant cells).
- 24. – A thin piece of glass where a sample is placed to be viewed under a microscope.
- 25. – The process cells use to make energy.
Down
- 1. – Adjusting the microscope to make the image clearer.
- 2. – The process plants use to make food from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
- 3. – Organisms like molds and yeast, some of which decompose dead materials.
- 5. – The process of making something look bigger.
- 6. Wall – A rigid layer found in plant cells that gives the cell shape and support.
- 9. – The "brain" of the cell that controls its activities and contains DNA (found in eukaryotic cells).
- 11. Division – The process by which cells make copies of themselves.
- 13. Lens – The lenses on the microscope that provide different levels of magnification.
- 15. – Simple organisms, often found in water, that make their own food using sunlight.
- 18. – Any living thing, from tiny bacteria to large animals and plants.
- 19. – A group of cells that work together to perform a specific job.
- 21. – The basic unit of life in all living things.
- 23. – A tool used to see tiny things that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
