- 1. blood cells Blood cells that carry oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood.
- 5. The stage in the cell cycle when then cytoplasm and organelles divide into two identical, separate cells.
- 8. The first phase of mitosis, when the nucleus and nuclear membrane disappear and chromosomes form.
- 9. The ability to grow new cells to replace damaged or lost body components.
- 11. The process by which nutrients diffuse or are moved from the digestive system to the blood.
- 14. Air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs.
- 15. Different tissues working together to perform a specific task; connective, nervous, and epithelial tissues make up the brains.
- 17. Specialized cells working together to perform a function; the four major types of human tissue are muscle tissue, connection tissue, nervous tissue, and epithelial tissue.
- 19. The fourth phase of mitosis, when the membrane surrounding the nucleus re-forms, creating two new nuclei.
Down
- 2. The movement of molecules or other particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until they are evenly distributed.
- 3. The second phase of mitosis, when the chromosomes align on the centre of the cell.
- 4. The number of molecules of a substance in a given volume.
- 5. Tiny blood vessels that play an important role in gas exchange.
- 6. Cycle The sequence of growth and division of a cell; consists of Interphase.
- 7. Literally, the term means "little organs".
- 10. The third phase of mitosis, when the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell.
- 12. The movement of water molecules across a membrane in response to concentration differences.
- 13. The stage in the cell cycle when a cell grows and carries out its usual functions, as well as making a copy of its DNA and organelles to prepare for cell division.
- 16. exchange The process of taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide.
- 18. The process where a single cell divides resulting in generally two identical cells, each containing the same number of chromosomes and genetic content as that of the original cell.
