Animal Cell
Across
- 9. A cell organelle constructed in the nucleolus and functioning as the site of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm; Consists of rRNA and protein molecules
- 10. A dense region of DNA in a prokaryotic cells.
- 11. One of a family of closely related plant organelles, including chloroplasts, chloroplasts, and amyloplasts
- 12. An organelle in eukaryotic cells that serves as the site of cellular respiration.
- 13. A threadlike, gene-carrying structure found in the nucleus.
- 16. A network of microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments that branch throughout the cytoplasm and serve a variety of mechanical and transport functions.
- 17. A protective layer external to the plasma membrane in plant cells.
- 18. An organelle found only in plants and photosynthetic protists that absorbs sunlight of organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water.
- 19. An organelle in eukaryotic cells consisting of stacks of flat membranous sacs that modify, store, and route products of the endoplasmic reticulum.
- 20. The membrane at the boundary of every animal cell and acts as a selective barrier.
Down
- 1. A hollow rod of tubulin protein in the cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells and in cilia, flagella, and the cytoskeleton
- 2. A membranous sac in a mature plant cell with diverse roles in reproduction, growth, and development.
- 3. An extensive membrane network in eukaryotic cells, composed of ribosome-studded (rough) and ribosome-free (smooth) regions.
- 4. The entire contents of the cell, exclusive of the nucleus, and bounded by the plasma membrane.
- 5. A sac made of membrane inside of cells
- 6. The complex of DNA and proteins that make up eukaryotic chromosome.
- 7. A membranous sac formed by phagocytosis.
- 8. A solid rod of actin protein in the cytoplasm of almost all eukaryotic cells.
- 14. A specialized structure in the nucleus, formed from various chromosomes and active in the synthesis of ribosomes.
- 15. The chromosome-containing organelle of a eukaryotic cell.
