Cells
Across
- 3. The parts of a cell. They process and release energy, destroy and digest materials, and replicate genetic information.
- 4. Membrane A protective double membrane surrounding the nucleus that controls the flow of materials in and out of the nucleus.
- 7. Cells Cells found in animals.
- 10. Protein-making factories in a cell.
- 11. In plant cells only, they are organelles that produce food. Chlorophyll is a green pigment that makes plants look green and also uses energy from the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into glucose, a simple sugar.
- 12. The cell’s powerhouse, releasing energy in food by carrying out a reaction with oxygen.
- 15. A small structure found inside the nucleus that makes ribosomes and transports them to the cytoplasm.
Down
- 1. Protein-making factories in a cell.
- 2. Reticulum The cell’s transport organelle, processing and moving materials throughout the cell.
- 5. Temporary storage bubbles for the cell, storing food, water, or waste.
- 6. Bodies The cell’s packaging, sorting, and distributing organelle. They sort proteins from the Endoplasmic Reticulum and then distribute them to where they need to go.
- 8. Very simple, single-celled bacteria that do not have a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, or organelles.
- 9. Theory All organisms are made of cells (one or more); The cell is the basic building block of life (in structure and function);Every cell comes from another existing cell (cells divide to form new cells
- 13. The basic structural and functional unit of all forms of life; they are able to replicate independently.
- 14. Much more complex types of cells (containing a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, and organelles) found in protists, fungi, animals and plants.
