Cells
Across
- 3. The portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that is free of ribosomes; lipids.
- 6. A cell organelle constructed in the nucleolus, functioning as the site of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm.
- 9. A small dense spherical structure in the nucleus of a cell during interphase.
- 12. The region in a prokaryotic cell consisting of a concentrated mass of DNA.
- 13. A microscopic network of protein filaments and tubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells, giving them shape and coherence.
- 14. A complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular transport.
- 15. An organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane.
- 17. An organelle "container" that holds waste.
- 19. A type of cell lacking a membrane-enclosed nucleus and membrane-enclosed organelles; found in Bacteria.
- 22. The fluid that fills a cell.
- 23. A protective layer external to the plasma membrane in plant, bacteria, and fungi cells.
Down
- 1. The chromosome-containing organelle of a eukaryotic cell, the "Control center".
- 2. The outer membrane of the cell, that lets certain things in and out.
- 4. A basic unit of living matter separated from its environment by a plasma membrane; the fundamental structural unit of life.
- 5. A slimy layer around the cells of certain bacteria.
- 6. The portion of the endoplasmic reticulum studded with ribosomes; proteins.
- 7. An organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur.
- 8. The membrane surrounding the nucleus within a cell.
- 10. The plural form of a hair like appendage found on the surface of many bacteria.
- 11. A plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
- 16. A large organelle "container" that holds water.
- 18. An organism whose cells contain membrane-bound organelles and whose DNA is enclosed in a cell nucleus and is associated with proteins.
- 20. One of several formed bodies with a specialized function, suspended in the cytoplasm and found in eukaryotic cells.
- 21. The plural form of a slender threadlike structure, especially a microscopic whiplike appendage that enables many bacteria to swim.
- 23. The plural form of a short, microscopic, hairlike vibrating structure.
