11 Biology - Cells

3. Organisms that can produce their own food using energy from sunlight or other sources.
7. The gel-like substance that fills the cell and contains organelles.
8. The organelles responsible for protein synthesis.
9. Organelles that produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell, through cellular respiration.
10. The diffusion of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.
12. ____ transport: The movement of substances across a membrane with the concentration gradient, without requiring energy.
15. _____ fission: A form of asexual reproduction in which a single cell divides into two identical cells.
16. Cell ____ The scientific theory that all living things are composed of cells, which are the basic structural and functional units of life.
17. A network of protein fibers that provides support and shape to cells.
18. The organelle that contains the genetic material of a eukaryotic cell.
19. A type of cell with a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
20. Cell ____ The semi-permeable membrane surrounding a cell that controls the exchange of materials between the cell and its environment.
21. Organisms that rely on other organisms for food.

1. An organelle involved in protein and lipid synthesis, consisting of a network of membranes and tubes.
2. The movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, driven by the concentration gradient.
4. Surface area-to-volume ___
5. Concentration _______ The difference in concentration of a substance between two regions, which can drive passive or active transport.
6. An organelle involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins for transport.
11. Allowing only certain substances to pass through a membrane while excluding others.
13. A type of cell without a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, typically smaller than eukaryotic cells.
14. An organelle involved in transport and storage of materials within the cell.
