Cellular Functions :)
Across
- 4. sac-like structures; stores materials such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and water
- 5. site of cellular respiration; formation of ATP
- 7. harvests the energy of sunlight and converts it to chemical energy in order to fuel chemical reactions in the cell
- 9. store starch; particularly in roots and tubers
- 11. carry out protein synthesis
- 12. gives chemical support to the cell; regulation of biochemical activities
- 13. breaks down fatty acid molecules by beta-oxidation
- 14. serve as the "backbone" of the cell, and play a role in cell transport and mitosis
- 15. acts as a cushion for and contains all organelles within the cell
- 17. regulates cell activity and stores all genetic information of the cell
- 19. whip like structures protruding from cells; aids in cellular mobility
Down
- 1. synthesizes ribosomal RNA and ribosomal subunits
- 2. modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials for cell use
- 3. transport of cellular materials and forms skeletal framework; metabolic activities
- 6. coordinate the building and breaking of microtubules in the cell; plays a role in cell division
- 8. aids the process of cell division
- 10. surrounds the vacuole; regulates the movements of ions around the cell
- 16. digestive system of the cell
- 18. membrane forms a barrier between the interior and exterior of the cell
