Across
- 5. Organism whose cells contain nuclei
- 8. Process by which a cell takes material into the cell by infolding of the cell membrane
- 10. Thin, flexible barrier around a cell; regulates what enters and leaves the cell
- 11. Energy-requiring process that moves material across a cell membrane against a concentration difference
- 13. One of two tiny structures located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope
- 14. Network of protein filaments within some cells that helps the cell maintain its shape and is involved in many forms of cell movement
- 15. When the concentration of a solute is the same throughout a solution
- 16. Collection of living matter enclosed by a barrier that separates the cell from its surroundings; basic unit of all forms of life
- 17. Strong supporting layer around the cell membrane in plants, algae, and some bacteria
- 18. Threadlike structure within the nucleus containing the genetic information that is passed from one generation of cells to the next
Down
- 1. Movement of specific molecules across cell membranes through protein channels
- 2. Process by which molecules tend to move from an area where they are more concentrated
- 3. idea that all living things are composed of cells, cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things, and new cells are produced from existing cells
- 4. Process by which a cell releases large amounts of material
- 6. The mass of solute in a given volume of solution, or mass/volume
- 7. Internal membrane system in cells in which lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled and some proteins are modified
- 9. Granular material visible within the nucleus; consists of DNA tightly coiled around proteins
- 10. Material inside the cell membrane not including the nucleus
- 12. The process in which cells develop in different ways to perform different tasks
- 14. Organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy
