  7. 19. The gel-like insides of a cell
  8. 20. Type of cell that has membraned organelles and a nucleus
  9. 22. All living cells use this to build proteins
  10. 30. Gives cells structure, shape, and support, like bones for the cell
  11. 31. Finger-like projections that help a cell to crawl

Down
  1. 2. In plants, uses energy from the sun to make food
  2. 4. The type of movement of molecules that DOES require energy
  3. 5. Tail-like structure that can help a cell move
  4. 7. Stack-of-pancakes-looking organelle that packages and modifies proteins
  5. 8. The type of movement of molecules that does NOT require energy
  6. 9. Because membranes are thin and diffusion takes time, cells are limited in the ___ to which they can grow

  19. 27. As a cell grows its ___ grows much faster than its surface area
  20. 28. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic (e.g. pure water) environment, water ___ the cell.
  21. 29. This type of eukaryotic cell has lysosomes, but no chloroplasts, and often has an irregular shape
  22. 33. Protects the DNA in eukaryotes
  23. 34. Doctors give patients saline instead of pure water because this encourages a ___ environment for their cells
  24. 38. This type of eukaryotic cell has a cell wall, rigid shape, and is often green
