Across
  1. 2. External scaffolding made of cellulose in plants.
  2. 5. Organizes microtubules during cellular reproduction in animals.
  3. 6. Dotted with workers (ribosomes), building and packaging proteins.
  4. 10. A detox hub; synthesizes lipids and breaks down harmful substances.
  5. 12. Expands like a balloon in plants, holding water or storing toxins.
  6. 13. Cellular "stomach," digesting macromolecules and recycling old parts.
  7. 15. Maze-like structure; smooth version makes lipids, rough one helps proteins.
  8. 16. Fluid matrix where metabolic reactions simmer.
  9. 18. Cellular uphill battle requiring ATP to move substances.
  10. 19. A specific type of diffusion involving only the universal solvent.
  11. 20. A crowd dispersing from a packed room to an open field.
Down
  1. 1. Double-layered gatekeeper controlling molecular traffic.
  2. 3. Solar-powered sugar producer found only in green living spaces.
  3. 4. Organelle where glucose turns into energy currency for the cell.
  4. 7. Tiny factories that assemble amino acids into polypeptides.
  5. 8. Like a VIP lounge—only specific molecules can pass through specialized channels.
  6. 9. The library of the cell, housing blueprints for all cellular functions.
  7. 11. Tiny transport bubble ferrying proteins and lipids between cell regions.
  8. 14. Microscopic bridges allowing communication between plant cells.
  9. 17. Cellular post office; processes and labels proteins for delivery.
