Biology crossword
Clues across and down, at three difficulties, and it prints with the answer key.
Across
- 3 Group whose members can breed and produce fertile young

- 8 Microbes without a true cell center, some helpful in yogurt
- 10 Water movement across a membrane toward higher solute
- 11 Tiny factory where proteins are assembled
- 12 Single-celled creature that oozes along with false feet
- 14 Green plant structure that captures sunlight
- 16 Protein that speeds up a chemical reaction in the body
Down
- 1 One of the bones stacked along your backbone
- 2 Kingdom that includes molds, yeasts and toadstools
- 4 Animal that hunts others for food
- 6 Cell division that makes two identical copies
- 7 Natural home of a species
- 9 Threadlike DNA package; humans have 46
- 13 Powdery grains carried by bees between flowers
- 15 Nerve cell that carries electrical signals
Print the page above, or take the easy grid as a PDF. Both carry the answer key, and large print is a setting rather than a separate file.

About Biology
Biology spans the smallest working parts of life and the largest patterns among them. On this grid you will find the machinery inside a cell: ribosomes assembling proteins, chloroplasts capturing light for photosynthesis, chromosomes carrying DNA, and mitosis dividing one cell into two identical copies. Other clues step outward to whole organisms and where they live, from single-celled amoebas and fungi to neurons, vertebrae, predators, and the habitats that shape which species survive there.
Reach for this sheet in a middle school or high school life science class when students need to review cell structure and ecology vocabulary before a unit test.
