Across
- 2. consists of cytosol, or clear, jelly-like fluid that fills cells
- 4. a form of cell death that is actually a normal part of development, sculpting organs from overgrown tissues
- 7. follows interphase, being broken down into four main stages (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase)
- 11. phosphate group that is water-soluble, meaning dissolvable in water
- 12. the basic unit of life
- 13. follows mitosis, allowing the cytoplasm to divide creating two daughter cells
- 14. fatty acids that are water-insoluble, meaning non-dissolvable in water
- 16. structures found within a cell that have specific functions, allowing the cell to operate
- 17. structure located at the center of the cell, housing the cell's DNA
Down
- 1. the period during the cell cycle of cell's growth and development
- 3. components that make up the cell membrane, each consisting of a phosphate group and two fatty acids
- 5. mechanisms that do not require cellular energy
- 6. mechanisms that do require cellular energy
- 8. unspecialized cells that have the possibility of becoming specialized with a specific structure and function
- 9. double layer, or bilayer, that controls what enters and leaves the cell
- 10. the study of cells
- 15. the series of changes that a cell undergoes from the time it forms until it divides
