Across
- 3. Thin, flexible barrier around a cell. Regulates what enters and leaves the cell.
- 4. Small unit that can join together with other small units to form polymers.
- 6. Process where a single parent reproduces by itself.
- 7. Organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that capture sunlight and converts it into chemical energy.
- 9. Small particle in the cell on which proteins are assembled. Made of RNA and protein
- 13. Threadlike structures with the nucleus that contains the genetic material.
- 14. When comparing two solutions, the solution with the greater concentration.
- 18. Change over time.
- 20. Structure that contains the cells DNA and controls the functions of the cells.
- 23. Specialized structure that performs important cellular functions within a eukaryotic cell.
- 24. Process in which a cell from two parents unite to create a new organism.
- 28. Process by which molecules tend to move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
- 29. When the concentrations of two substances are the same.
- 31. When the concentration of a solute is the same throughout a solution.
- 33. Movement of the specific molecules across cell membranes through protein channels
Down
- 1. Double-layered sheet that forms the core of nearly all cell membranes
- 2. Energy-requiring process that moves material across a membrane against a concentration difference
- 5. Small, dense region within most nuclei in which the assembly of proteins begins.
- 7. Strong supportive layer around the cell membrane in plants, algae, and some bacteria.
- 8. Organism whose cells does not contain nuclei
- 10. Process by which organisms maintain a stable internal environment.
- 11. Cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use.
- 12. Compound that forms hydrogen ions in a solution.
- 15. When comparing two solutions, the solution with the weaker concentration.
- 16. The mass of a given solute in a given volume of solution. Mass/volume
- 17. Compound that produces hydroxide ions in solution.
- 18. Organism whose cells contain nuclei
- 19. A large compound formed from combinations of many monomers.
- 21. Basic unit of life.
- 22. Macromolecule containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus. DNA and RNA are examples.
- 25. DIffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.
- 26. Compound made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Major source of energy for living organisms.
- 27. Protein that acts as a biological catalyst.
- 30. Macromolecule made up of carbon and hydrogen. Fats, oils, and waxes.
- 32. A weak acid or base that helps prevent sharp, sudden changes in pH.
