Across
- 4. Rapid cell growth and protein synthesis occur here.
- 6. Point at which sister chromatids are most closely attached.
- 8. Structure made of microtubules and associated proteins.
- 10. Number of cells in mitosis divided by total number of cells.
- 11. For many cells, this check point is the most important.
- 12. Signal molecule that generally causes a shape change in the receptor.
- 14. Programmed or controlled cell suicide.
- 15. Passing message from protein to protein.
- 16. Body temperature & blood glucose levels are regulated by this type of feedback.
Down
- 1. Type of receptor that bind hydrophilic signal molecules outside of the cell.
- 2. This type feedback amplifies a response, usually to achieve a specific outcome.
- 3. Adding a phosphate group onto a protein to activate it.
- 5. Agents capable of causing cancer.
- 7. Cells spend most of their time in this part of the cell cycle.
- 9. Cells pass this checkpoint if all chromosomes are attached to the mitotic spindle.
- 13. Multistep pathways can ______ a signal.
- 17. This resting phase occurs when cells exit the cell cycle.
