- 1. removal of waste products from the body so it doesn't become toxic, causing death
- 4. a jelly-like substance that holds all components of the cell, i.e. organelles.
- 8. the ability of an organism to react to changes in the environment, e.g. too much/too little sunlight or sound or heat
- 10. the smallest, indivisible unit of living things
- 13. present in both animal (temporary) and plant cell (permanent) with the same function of storing water
- 15. the ability of an organism to obtain the food necessary to sustain life, i.e. to survive, to maintain health
- 17. the ‘powerhouse’ of the cell, meaning that it is where energy is produced
- 18. organisms made up of one cell, e.g. yeast, bacteria
- 19. the smallest, indivisible unit of non-living things

Down
- 2. contains a green pigment. It is not found in animal cells, which is why plants are green and humans/animals are not
- 3. organisms made up of millions of cells, e.g. humans, animals, plants
- 5. a special structure that has a specific function, found within a cell
- 6. to get bigger in size, to reach maturity in order to be able to do things independently
- 7. the ‘brain’ of the cell, it controls all cellular processes by giving instructions to the organelles (control center)
- 9. the ability to produce energy in order to perform all body functions
- 11. a protecting barrier, separating inside contents of the cell from the outside
- 12. the process by which organisms make more of themselves or produce offsprings for future generation and to prevent extinction
- 14. stores glucose in this form in a grain present in the plant cell
- 16. the ability of an organism to change position/place for two reasons: to obtain food & for safety
