Biology II Unit 1 Cell Structure
Across
- 6. Photosynthetic organelle containing chlorophyll and internal thylakoid membranes.
- 7. (two words) Complex of proteins and carbohydrates outside animal cells for support and signaling.
- 10. (two words) Semifluid matrix filling the cell’s interior in which organelles are embedded.
- 11. (two words) Large complexes in the nuclear envelope regulating transport of proteins and RNA.
- 12. (two words) Thin filaments composed of actin responsible for cellular movements.
- 14. Repository of genetic information and site of rRNA synthesis.
- 17. Organelle where oxidative metabolism produces ATP.
- 19. Vesicle containing enzymes that digest material and recycle organelles.
Down
- 1. Hollow tubes of tubulin that provide structural support and serve as intracellular tracks.
- 2. (two words) Flattened stacks of membranes that modify, package, and distribute molecules.
- 3. (two words) Double membrane surrounding the nucleus.
- 4. (two words) ER region with ribosomes, site of protein synthesis.
- 5. (two words) All living organisms are composed of one or more cells, and the cell is the basic unit of life.
- 8. (two words) Extensive internal membrane system organizing biosynthetic activities.
- 9. (two words) Phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins that separates the cell interior and regulates passage of materials.
- 10. Network of protein fibers supporting shape, movement, and anchoring organelles.
- 13. (two words) Rope-like fibers that provide mechanical strength.
- 15. (two words) Intercellular channels that allow molecules to pass between adjacent animal cells.
- 16. (two words) ER region without ribosomes, functions in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
- 18. Ribonucleoprotein complex that synthesizes proteins.
