  1. 4. A continuous membrane system that forms a series of flattened sacs within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Important particularly in the synthesis, folding, modification, and transport of proteins.
  2. 6. An organelle in eukaryotic cells that stores and modifies proteins for specific functions and prepares them for transport to other parts of the cell.
  3. 8. Found in both plant and animal cells. A fluid-filled pocket in the cell's cytoplasm that can temporarily store materials or transport substances.
  4. 9. Thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. Provide the genetic information for various cellular functions essential for growth, survival, development, reproduction, etc., of organisms.
  5. 11. Cell structure that makes protein. Can be found floating within the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
  6. 12. Are organelles that contain digestive enzymes. They digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria.
  7. 13. An organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Inside its fully-enclosed nuclear membrane, it contains the majority of the cell's genetic material.

  1. 1. Surrounds every nucleus. Keeps DNA inside the nucleus and protects it from materials in the cytoplasm.
  2. 2. A thin semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell. Its function is to protect the integrity of the interior of the cell by allowing certain substances into the cell while keeping other substances out.
  3. 3. A round body located inside the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell. Makes ribosomal subunits from proteins and ribosomal RNA, also known as rRNA.
  4. 5. Known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules for the cell.
  5. 7. Whip-like structure that allows a cell to move. They are found in all three domains of the living world: bacteria, archaea, and eukaryota.
  6. 9. They are there to help the cell when it comes time to divide. They are put to work in both the process of mitosis and the process of meiosis.
  7. 10. Present within the cell membrane of all cell types and contains all organelles and cell parts. Gives a cell its shape and it helps to fill out the cell and keeps organelles in their place.
