Biology
Across
- 2. a short, microscopic, hairlike vibrating structure
- 5. apparatus a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular transport
- 7. an organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane
- 9. membrane a microscopic membrane of lipids and proteins that forms the external boundary of the cytoplasm of a cell or encloses a vacuole, and that regulates the passage of molecules in and out of the cytoplasm
- 10. any of a number of organized or specialized structures within a living cell
- 12. an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur
- 14. a dense organelle present in most eukaryotic cells, typically a single rounded structure bounded by a double membrane, containing the genetic material
- 15. a part of an organism that is typically self-contained and has a specific vital function
- 16. any of the distinct types of material of which animals or plants are made, consisting of specialized cells and their products
- 17. any organism whose cells contain a nucleus and other structures enclosed within membranes
- 18. reticulum a network of membranous tubules within the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell, continuous with the nuclear membrane
- 19. small dense spherical structure in the nucleus of a cell during interphase
Down
- 1. a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins, found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells
- 3. the material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the nucleus
- 4. the aqueous component of the cytoplasm of a cell, within which various organelles and particles are suspended
- 6. a microscopic single-celled organism that has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles
- 8. a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes
- 11. envelope the double lipid bilayer membrane which surrounds the genetic material and nucleolus in eukaryotic cells
- 13. a microscopic network of protein filaments and tubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells, giving them shape and coherence
