1. The site of protein synthesis in a cell.
10. The net movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of
low concentration along a concentration gradient.
11. The membrane around the contents of a cell which controls what moves in and
out of the cell.
12. A liquid in which some solids will dissolve.
13. The water-based gel in which the organelles of all living cells are suspended.

16. Allowing only certain substances to pass through.
17. Adapted for a particular function.
18. The solid which dissolves in a solvent to form a solution.
19. The movement of substances against a concentration gradient and/or across a

Down
2. An instrument used to magnify specimens using a beam of electrons.
3. Membrane-bound structures in the cytoplasm of a cell which carry out particular
functions.
4. The site of aerobic cellular respiration in a cell.
5. A group of organs working together to carry out a particular function.
6. An instrument used to magnify specimens using lenses and light.
7. A group of specialised cells all carrying out the same function.
8. The gradient between an area where a substance is at a high concentration and
an area where it is at a low concentration.
9. An organelle found in many living cells containing the genetic information.
14. The net movement of particles of a gas or a solute from an area of high
concentration to an area of low concentration (along a concentration gradient).
