- 4. A class of molecules that includes sugars, starches, and fiber; contains carbon,hydrogen, and oxygen
- 6. a molecule made up of subunits called nucleotides
- 8. A substance that cannot be separated or broken down into simpler substances by chemical means
- 9. The cytoplasmic network of protein filaments that plays an essential role in cell movement, shape, and division
- 12. A cell organelle that helps make and package materials to be transported out of the cell
- 13. A cell organelle composed of RNA and protein; the site of protein synthesis
- 14. An organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs
- 15. The smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element

- 19. A fluid-filled vesicle found in the cytoplasm of plant cells or protozoans
Down
- 1. The maintenance of a constant internal state in a changing environment
- 2. A cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes
- 3. A collection of tissues that carry out a specialized function of the body
- 5. A living thing; anything that can carry out life processes independently
- 7. A rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane and provides support to the cell
- 9. The theory that states that all living things are made up of cells, that cells are the basic units of organisms, that each cell in a multicellular organism has a specific job, and that cells come only from existing cells
- 10. A system of membranes that is found in a cells cytoplasm and that assists in the production, processing, and transport of proteins and in the production of lipids
- 11. A fat molecule that has similar properties;examples include oils, wax's, and steroids
- 16. A molecule that is made up of amino acids and that is needed to build and repair body structures and to regulate processes in the body
- 18. In eukaryotic cells, the organelle that is the site of cellular respiration, which releases energy for use by the cell
