Across
- 2. A chemical process in plant cells where sunlight is used to make food (stored energy).
- 8. Taking food into the body or cell membrane.
- 10. Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
- 11. Cytoplasm pinches in and results in two new daughter cells. The new cells are identical to each other and to the original cell (like clones).
- 12. Groups of organs working together to perform a specific job.
- 15. Cell appears to rest and grow a bit. Cell makes a copy of DNA (DNA replication).
- 21. A healthy internal balance of things like temperature, sugar, etc.
- 22. movement of water across the cell membrane.
- 23. All the levels together, highest level of organization.
- 24. Makes body cells for growth and repair that are identical to the parent cell (same number of chromosomes).
Down
- 1. Releases the stored energy from food eaten or made into usable energy (ATP). Occurs in the cell's mitochondria.
- 3. Outputs/By-products
- 4. Organisms that are made of only one cell.
- 5. Organisms that are made of many cells.
- 6. Chromosomes separate (pull apart), and chromatids (legs) move to opposite poles (sides).
- 7. Different tissues working together to do a specific job.
- 9. Makes reproductive cells that have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell (similar process to mitosis).
- 11. The smallest unit of life. In the body, they are specialized to do certain things.
- 13. Nuclear membrane forms around each new nucleus.
- 14. movement of substances (other than water) across the cell membrane.
- 16. Removal of waste matter.
- 17. Inputs/Raw Materials/Ingredients
- 18. Groups of similar cells organized to do a specific job.
- 19. Breaking down food into smaller pieces.
- 20. Nuclear membrane disintegrates and centrioles appear at poles (sides).
