Across
  1. 3. The parts of a cell. They process and release energy, destroy and digest materials, and replicate genetic information.
  2. 4. Membrane A protective double membrane surrounding the nucleus that controls the flow of materials in and out of the nucleus.
  3. 7. Cells Cells found in animals.
  4. 10. Protein-making factories in a cell.
  5. 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.
  6. 12. The cell’s powerhouse, releasing energy in food by carrying out a reaction with oxygen.
  7. 15. A small structure found inside the nucleus that makes ribosomes and transports them to the cytoplasm.
Down
  1. 1. Protein-making factories in a cell.
  2. 2. Reticulum The cell’s transport organelle, processing and moving materials throughout the cell.
  3. 5. Temporary storage bubbles for the cell, storing food, water, or waste.
  4. 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.
  5. 8. Very simple, single-celled bacteria that do not have a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, or organelles.
  6. 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
  7. 13. The basic structural and functional unit of all forms of life; they are able to replicate independently.
  8. 14. Much more complex types of cells (containing a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, and organelles) found in protists, fungi, animals and plants.
