Across
- 7. process where a eukaryotic cell nucleus splits in into two, followed by division of the parent cell into two daughter cells
- 8. process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells
- 10. A cell structure in which the functions are carried out to ensure the cell's survival
- 11. the first stage of mitosis, when the chromosomes condense and become visible
- 13. network of protein filaments
- 15. located near the nucleus and helps organize cell division
- 17. process by which cells duplicate their contents and then divide
- 18. the resting phase between successive mitotic divisions of a cell
- 19. study a variety of objects and materials that are too small to be seen by the human eye
- 21. set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cell
- 22. takes up around 25% of the volume of the nucleus. This structure is made up of proteins and ribonucleic acids (RNA)
- 23. A structure in cells that sorts proteins and packs them into vessels
- 25. stores salts proteins and carbohydrates
- 26. single-stranded chain of alternating phosphate and ribose units
- 27. is a branch of medical science primarily concerning the examination of organs, tissues, and bodily fluids in order to make a diagnosis of disease
- 28. The energy producers of the cell. Also carries out cellular respiration to produce energy for the cell
- 29. is to help transport macromolecules back and forth between the nucleus and the cytoplasm
- 30. Part of plant cells that trap energy from the Sun and change it into chemical energy that plants use
- 34. surrounds the nucleus with a double membrane with multiple pores
- 35. an optical instrument used for viewing very small objects
- 37. membrane a membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell
- 38. Temporary storage compartments in cells sometimes used to store waste.
- 39. The organelle that controls all the activities within a cell
Down
- 1. act as the digestive system inside a cell. They help break down old or unneeded parts of the cell
- 2. is a scientific theory which describes the properties of cells
- 3. are cells that enclose their DNA in nuclei
- 4. the smallest group of atoms of a substance
- 5. Cell parts(organelles) that assemble proteins
- 6. are cells that don't enclose their DNA in nuclei
- 9. small structures surrounded by a membrane. They contain many different types of enzymes used by the cell to produce energy
- 12. the multiplication, of cells
- 14. A network of membrane covered channels that transport materials
- 15. A jelly like substance within a cell containing organelles water and other life-supporting materials
- 16. Technician work behind the scenes as highly skilled scientists to performs tests that detect the absence or presence of disease
- 17. controls the water content of the organism by pumping water out
- 20. shaped like a twisted double helix and is composed of long strands
- 24. efficiently package DNA into a small volume to fit into the nucleus of a cell and protect the DNA structure and sequence
- 31. the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism
- 32. the series of events happening in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA
- 33. a stage of mitosis in the eukaryotic cell cycle when chromosomes are at their second-most condensed and coiled stage
- 36. A rough,rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane and gives the cell a regular box-like shape
