cells
Across
- 3. The cell's "garbage disposal," breaking down waste and foreign particles.
- 4. Reticulum (ER): A network of membranes that helps transport materials and construct cell components.
- 7. A type of cell that contains a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
- 8. A network of protein filaments that maintains the cell's shape and provides structural support.
- 11. Apparatus (or Body): Sorts, packages, and distributes proteins and other molecules to their destinations.
- 12. Structures responsible for making proteins.
- 13. A small structure within the nucleus that makes ribosomes.
- 15. Found in plant cells, these organelles are responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy.
- 16. Wall: A rigid outer layer, primarily in plant cells, that provides structural support and protection.
- 17. A type of cell that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
- 18. (Deoxyribonucleic Acid): The genetic code that carries instructions for all living things.
Down
- 1. Small sacs that transport materials within the cell.
- 2. Long, whip-like structures that enable a cell to move.
- 5. An organelle involved in cell division, particularly in animal cells.
- 6. Membrane-bound sacs that store water, nutrients, and waste.
- 8. The jelly-like substance filling the cell, where organelles are suspended.
- 9. The "control center" of the cell, containing genetic material (DNA).
- 10. The "powerhouses" of the cell, converting nutrients into energy.
- 14. Membrane: The outer boundary of the cell, controlling the passage of materials in and out.
- 15. Short, hair-like structures that help with movement or to move substances across the cell surface.
