Cells
Across
- 2. mall, membrane-enclosed organelles that contain enzymes involved in a variety of metabolic reactions, including several aspects of energy metabolism.
- 7. a network of membranous tubules within the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell, continuous with the nuclear membrane. It usually has ribosomes attached and is involved in protein and lipid synthesis.
- 10. the structure in a cell that contains the chromosomes.
- 11. a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes.
- 12. a small dense spherical structure in the nucleus of a cell during interphase.
- 14. a slender threadlike structure, especially a microscopic appendage that enables many protozoa, bacteria, spermatozoa
- 15. a microscopic membrane of lipids and proteins which forms the external boundary of the cytoplasm of a cell or encloses a vacuole, and regulates the passage of molecules in and out of the cytoplasm.
Down
- 1. a minute cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell division.
- 2. a protein complex in cells containing proteases; it breaks down proteins that have been tagged by ubiquitin.
- 3. the fluid portion of the cytoplasm exclusive of organelles and membranes.
- 4. a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular transport.
- 5. a small sac formed by a membrane and filled with liquid.
- 6. tiny finger-like projections found on the surface of certain cells.
- 8. an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner layer being folded inward to form layers (cristae).
- 9. a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells
- 13. a cell that is capable of lashing movement and serves especially in free unicellular organisms to produce locomotion or in higher forms a current of fluid.
