Cells
Across
- 1. A protective lipid bilayer surrounding each cell, it regulates what enters and removes the cell
- 4. Jelly-like substance, composed mostly of water that lies between the nucleus and the cell membrane
- 6. The powerhouse of the cell
- 7. Small, saclike structures created by the golgi apparatus-stores and delivers nutrients and proteins throughout the cell
- 8. Transports chemical compounds used by the cell
- 12. The nucleus contains the cells DNA and regulates gene expression
- 13. A stack of membranes that collect and modify chemical compounds
- 14. A type of vesicle that stores water, salts, carbohydrates and protein synthesis in the cell
Down
- 1. Actin, microtubules, and microfilaments form the cytoskeleton of the cell, which aids in cell movement and gives the cell its shape
- 2. This double-layered membrane surrounds and protects the nucleus of the cell
- 3. Found inside the nucleus, this organelle contains RNA and synthesizes ribosomes
- 5. Found on the rough endoplasmic reticulum and throughout the cytoplasm, these tiny structures are sites of protein synthesis in the cell
- 9. These bundles of microtubules play a role in organizing the movement of chromosomes during cell division
- 10. wall Porous outermost layer that that surrounds the cell membrane
- 11. These small vesicles contain enzymes and chemicals that help digest materials brought into the cell
