Across
- 3. The movement of materials through a cell membrane using the cell's energy (usually from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration).
- 6. Movement of specific molecules across cell membranes through protein channels (does not require energy, from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration).
- 8. Makes ribosomes and stores RNA and proteins. (dark area in nucleus on diagrams
- 11. A thin, flexible barrier around every cell; regulates what enters and leaves the cell.
- 14. An type of vacuole, an organelle containing digestive enzymes.
- 15. Found only in eukaryotic cells; controls actions of the cell and contains genetic material (DNA).
- 17. Tiny hairlike extensions that move together in a sweeping motion to move the cell or move items like mucus past the cell.
- 18. Transforms energy from sugars into usable energy (ATP) for the cell.
- 21. The movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy by the cell (from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration).
Down
- 1. The maintenance of stable internal conditions.
- 2. A system of membranes that modifies and packages proteins for export by the cell (post office of cell).
- 4. A solution that is less concentrated than the cytoplasm in the cell (low solute concentration, higher water concentration).
- 5. The double-layered sheet that forms the core of nearly all cell membranes made of lipids (water-fearing tails facing inward toward other water-fearing tails and water-loving heads on the inside and outside of the watery environment of the cell).
- 7. A control mechanism that causes the process to slow down or stop.
- 9. A storage container for starches in plants.
- 10. Clusters of DNA, RNA, and proteins in the nucleus of a cell.
- 11. found in both animal and plant cells; builds parts for cytoskeleton
- 12. When the cell and solution that they are in the same concentration of solutes so same concentration of water.
- 13. A control mechanism that occurs when a substance causes the process to speed up.
- 16. The rigid outer layer of a cell (outside the cell membrane) that provides strength and rigidity.
- 19. A solution that is more concentrated than the cytoplasm in the cell (high solute concentration, lower water concentration).
- 20. Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane (movement from an area of high water concentration/low solute concentration to low water concentration/high solute concentration).
