Here are the answers to the crossword puzzle clues based on cell biology concepts.
Down Clues:
1.
Protein: Ribosomes are the organelles responsible for making proteins.
2.
Anaphase: This is the third stage of mitosis where chromosomes separate and move to opposite sides.
3.
Transport: Osmosis is a specific type of passive transport involving water.
4.
Vacuole: In plant cells, there is usually one large central vacuole (animal cells have smaller ones).
5.
Nucleolus: This is the dense structure inside the nucleus where ribosomes are made.
6.
Cytoplasm: This is the jelly-like fluid that fills the cell and holds the organelles.
7.
Chromatin: Before chromosomes condense into X-shapes, the DNA exists as loose chromatin.
8.
Golgi: The Golgi apparatus (or Golgi complex) modifies proteins and forms vesicles.
Across Clues:
1.
Pores: Small holes in the nuclear membrane that let materials pass through.
4.
Vesicle: Small sacs used for storage or transporting materials within the cell.
9.
Ribosome: The tiny organelle that builds proteins.
10.
Lysosome: A sac filled with enzymes that breaks down waste and foreign substances.
11.
Mitosis: The process where a cell divides its nucleus to make two identical daughter cells.
12.
Neuron: A nerve cell characterized by a long extension called an axon.
