5.2 - AN OVERVIEW OF CELL
Across
- 6. In both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, a semi-fluid matrix called ......... occupies the volume of the cell.
- 7. The ........... cells lack such membrane bound organelles.
- 9. Animal cells contain another non-membrane bound organelle called .......... which helps in cell division.
- 13. This nucleus contains the ........... which in turn contain the genetic material, DNA.
- 17. The largest isolated single cell is the egg of an ..........
- 18. The onion cell which is a typical ..........., has a distinct cell wall as its outer boundary and just within it is the ..............
- 20. Various chemical reactions occur in it to keep the cell in the ‘............state’.
- 21. ......... are non-membrane bound organelles found in all cells – both eukaryotic as well as prokaryotic.
Down
- 1. The shape of the cell may vary with the ......... they perform.
- 2. Within the cell, ribosomes are found not only in the cytoplasm but also within the two organelles – ............ (in plants) and .......... and on rough ER.
- 3. Besides the nucleus, the eukaryotic cells have other membrane bound distinct structures called ........... like the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the golgi complex, lysosomes, mitochondria, microbodies and vacuoles.
- 4. Cells that have membrane bound nuclei are called .......... whereas cells that lack a membrane bound nucleus are prokaryotic.
- 5. Among multicellular organisms, .........cells are about 7.0 µm in diameter.
- 8. The cells of the human cheek have an outer membrane as the ............ structure of the cell.
- 10. Cells also vary greatly in their ...........
- 11. They may be disc-like, polygonal, columnar, cuboid, thread like, or even ...........
- 12. The cytoplasm is the main area of .............activities in both the plant and animal cells.
- 14. Cells ....... greatly in size, shape and activities.
- 15. ......... are some of the longest cells.
- 16. Inside each cell is a dense membrane bound structure called ...........
- 19. For example, ............, the smallest cells, are only 0.3 µm in length while bacteria could be 3 to 5 µm.
