Cell Structures

3. Green pigment found in plant cells
6. Produces ribosomes
9. The basic unit of structure and function in all living things
12. Store water, food, and wastes
13. Made of DNA and protein
15. Converts energy from food into usable energy for the cell
16. Involved in the synthesis, folding, modification, and transport of protein; ribosomes attached to the surface
17. Long, whip-like structure used for movement
18. Receives, packages, and distributes proteins
20. Makes proteins for the cell
21. Involved in the synthesis of fats; does not have ribosomes attached
22. Site of photosynthesis in a plant cell

1. Thin, flexible barrier that controls what goes in and out of a cell
2. The food making process in plant cells
4. Organisms that contain a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
5. Gel-like fluid that carries nutrients, proteins, and organelles throughout the cell
7. Contains the instructions for cell function
8. A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within a cell
9. Hair-like structures that aid in a cell movement, food uptake, and sensing the environment
10. Contains digestives enzymes that break down large food particles and worn-out cell parts
11. Helps separate chromosomes during cell division
13. The rigid outer layer that provides support to plant cells
14. Organisms that lack a nucleus
19. The "control center" of a cell that contains a cell's genetic material
