Across
- 3. also known as M phase; process by which new cells are created and results in two daughter nuclei, each with genetic material identical to each other and the mother cell
- 6. one copy of a duplicated chromosome which is usually joined to the other copy by a centromere
- 8. plant cell which is limp through a reduction of pressure inside the cell
- 10. phase of the cell cycle in which a cell spends the majority of its time and performs most of its normal functions in preparation for cell division
- 11. process of converting light energy to chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar
- 12. process by which a plant grows from a seed
- 13. single piece of coiled DNA which contains many genes, regulatory elements and other nucleotide sequences
- 14. second stage of mitosis
- 15. movement of dissolved substances from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration
- 16. diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration
- 17. Cycle metabolic pathway found in the stroma of the chloroplast in which carbon enters in the form of CO2 and leaves in the form of sugar
Down
- 1. Spindle fibers which form during mitosis and segregate chromosomes between daughter cells during cell division
- 2. Cells specialized cells which help regulate the rate of transpiration by opening and closing the stomata
- 4. tissue produced inside the seeds of most flowering plants which surrounds the embryo and provides nutrition in the form of starch, oils and protein
- 5. growth of plants in response to light
- 6. process which occurs after mitosis where the cell splits and two daughter cells are created, each with one nucleus
- 7. membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells which generate most of the cell’s supply of ATP which is used as energy
- 9. first embryonic leaf or leaves of a seedling which emerge at the time of germination
