Across
  1. 2. a medical condition that prevents glucose from getting to the cells because a lack of insulin
  2. 5. a small energy storage molecule broken down from starch
  3. 7. a chemical reaction; the cells use of glucose, oxygen, and amino acids to create energy
  4. 9. a group of tissues that has a structure and function
  5. 10. a tool that makes microscopic things visible
  6. 16. communication between brain, spinal cord, and nerves
  7. 20. the ability to grow, move, and live
  8. 21. used to "unlock" cells for glucose to go in
  9. 25. molecule you breathe in
  10. 26. brings oxygen into the body; gets rid of carbon dioxide.
  11. 28. a small growth and repair molecule broken down from protein
  12. 32. groups of organs that perform specific functions
  13. 36. Dioxide molecule you breathe out
  14. 38. tiny sacs of lung tissue used for the movement of gases between air and blood
  15. 41. cells use of glucose and oxygen to create energy, water, and carbon dioxide
  16. 42. to identify a disease through symptoms
  17. 44. bones, joints, muscles, framework of body giving shape, ability to move and protection
  18. 45. transports molecules, waste, nutrients, hormones, heat, etc... around the body
  19. 46. a group of cells that has a structure and function
  20. 47. anything that is alive (bacteria, animals, plants)
Down
  1. 1. surrounds the cell and controls what enters and exits
  2. 3. removes waste from the body
  3. 4. makes up all living things
  4. 6. organelle that produces energy for the cell
  5. 8. a medical condition that affects glucose and amino acids from getting to cells because of an injury to the organ
  6. 11. parts of a cell ("organs" of the cell)
  7. 12. any cell in the body other than blood and reproduction cells
  8. 13. makes up EVERYTHING (living and nonliving)
  9. 14. the exchange of gasses in the air and body through in/exhalation
  10. 15. breaks down food into small molecules that enter the blood for distribution to body cells.
  11. 17. two or more atoms combined
  12. 18. fighting infection cells
  13. 19. means "having to do with cells"
  14. 22. when substances change into new substances
  15. 23. an organ that uses digestive enzymes to break food down farther
  16. 24. too small to be seen except under a microscope
  17. 27. a large molecule that breaks down into glucose (breads, pasta, rice, cereal)
  18. 29. used to break large molecules into smaller ones during digestion
  19. 30. increase in number of cells
  20. 31. the passing of nutrients from the digestive system into the bloodstream and cells
  21. 33. organelle that is the control center of the cell
  22. 34. a large molecule that is used for cellular growth and repair
  23. 35. a medical condition that prevents oxygen from getting to the cells because not enough red blood cells were created
  24. 37. process of fixing damaged cells.
  25. 39. a molecule created from eating protein; needed to make red blood cells
  26. 40. carries molecules around the body
  27. 43. a medical condition that prevents oxygen from getting to the cells because it is stopped in the lungs
