Bio CK12 2.7 Ribosomes and Mitochondria
Across
- 2. type of RNA that copies genetic instructions from DNA in the nucleus and carries them to the cytoplasm.
- 6. cell that contains a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
- 7. organelle inside eukaryotic cells that contains most of the cell’s DNA and acts as the control center of the cell.
- 11. organelle in eukaryotic cells that helps make and transport proteins and lipids; types include rough ER and smooth ER.
- 13. thin coat of phospholipids that surrounds a cell and controls what enters and leaves the cell.
- 14. process that occurs when one or more substances, called reactants, is changed into one or more new substances, called products.
- 16. inner membrane fold of the mitochondrion.
- 18. type of cell in blood that contains hemoglobin and carries oxygen.
- 22. chain of amino acids that alone or with other such chains makes up a protein.
- 23. organelle in eukaryotic cells that uses energy stored in glucose to make ATP, which cells can use for energy.
- 26. where most of the cell’s ATP is made in the mitochondrion
Down
- 1. structure within the cytoplasm of a cell that is enclosed within a membrane and performs a specific job.
- 3. a biochemical process in which cells break down glucose and oxygen to make carbon dioxide, water, and ATP for energy.
- 4. cell without a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles.
- 5. species that is harmed in a parasitic relationship.
- 6. theory that eukaryotic organelles such as mitochondria evolved from ancient, free-living prokaryotes that invaded primitive eukaryotic cells.
- 8. process in which a cell divides to form daughter cells.
- 9. the ability to do work.
- 10. single-stranded nucleic acid that helps make proteins.
- 12. double membrane of the nucleus that encloses the genetic material and separates the contents of the nucleus from the cytoplasm.
- 15. structure found in all cells that is the site of protein synthesis.
- 17. the ability to move; in animals, requires muscles and nerves working together.
- 19. organic compound made up of amino acids.
- 20. an RNA molecule that catalyzes chemical reactions, such as translation; has enzymatic activity.
- 21. monomer of protein.
- 24. compound found in living things that contains mainly carbon.
- 25. RNA type of RNA that helps form ribosomes and assemble proteins.
