Biology Word Searches

Puzzles for the science of living things, from the parts of a single cell to whole ecosystems: review sets for biology and life science, then cells, cell division and macromolecules, genetics and evolution, photosynthesis and plants, bacteria and viruses, invertebrates and animal adaptations, and the bigger picture of ecosystems, food chains, biomes and invasive species.

The word cell comes from Robert Hooke, who looked at a thin slice of cork through his microscope in 1665 and saw rows of small empty boxes that reminded him of the rooms monks lived in. He was seeing the walls of dead plant cells; the living contents had long gone.
