All About Cells
Across
- 3. The organelle in which nutrients are converted to energy
- 4. A solution in which the concentration of solutes is less than that of the cell that resides in the solution
- 6. A plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place
- 8. A Membrane-bound "sac"
- 10. Non-membrane-bounded organelles responsible for protein synthesis
- 12. In this type of transport, the movement of molecules through the plasma membrane requires ATP
- 15. A solution in which the concentration of solutes is greater than that of the cell that resides in the solution
- 17. Holds animal cells together and helps them to maintain shape
- 18. A network of fibers that hold the cell together
- 19. Allow charged ions(which cannot just diffuse across the membrane) to pass through
- 21. A polymer composed of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix
- 23. The organelles where proteins and lipids are stored and then modified to suit the needs of the cell
- 24. A lipid in which one of the fatty acid molecules has been replaced by a molecule that contains a phosphate group
- 25. The center of the nucleus where RNA is made and ribosomes are assembled
Down
- 1. A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which organelles are suspended
- 2. The organelle in animal cells responsible for breaking stuff down through hydrolysis
- 5. Holds the main DNA, "Control center" of the cell
- 7. Spiral strands of protein molecules that form a tubelike structure
- 9. A small fluid-filled "sac"
- 11. An organelle composed of an extensive network of folded membranes that perform several tasks within a cell
- 13. A rigid structure on the outside of certain cells
- 14. A short, numerous cell projection that moves rhythmically back and forth
- 16. The semi-permeable membrane between the cell contents and either the cell wall or the cells surroundings
- 20. A long, thin projection from the cell surface that propels cells by whipping back and forth
- 22. In this type of transport, the movement of molecules through the plasma membrane does not require ATP
