Cellular Structure and Function
Across
- 2. Break down macromolecules, worn out organelles, and dying cells with digestive enzymes.
- 4. Controls cell functions and houses and protects DNA.
- 6. Rigid structure that surrounds cell membrane and provides shape to plant cells.
- 7. Small cell that has no nucleus, is less organized, and lacks most organelles.
- 8. Organelle only found in animal cell that organizes microtubules during cell division.
- 10. The cell's outer boundary. Allows materials to enter and leave the cell. (cell membrane).
- 11. Liquid portion of cytoplasm. Includes ribosomes, but not other organelles.
- 15. Network of protein filaments and tubes that provide structure, movement, shape, and play a role in cell division.
- 16. Double layer of lipids that make up the plasma (cell) membrane and organelle membranes.
- 18. States all living things are made up of cells, cells are the basic units of organisms, and cells come from existing cells.
- 19. Small, spherical organelles responsible for building a protein.
- 20. Short hairlike structures that extend from cell and aid in cell movement.
- 21. Sorts, modifies, and transports proteins and lipids to where they need to go.
Down
- 1. Long whiplike structure that extends from cell and aid in cell movement.
- 3. Responsible for creating ATP from organic molecules to supply energy to the cell. (Mitochondrion is singular)
- 5. Use light energy to make carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water in plant cells.
- 8. Region of the cell within membrane that contains fluid, cytoskeleton, and all organelles except nucleus.
- 9. Stores (mostly) water, enzymes, wastes, and other materials in plant cells.
- 12. System of membranes that helps in the transport of proteins and production of lipids.
- 13. Protein fiber in the cytoplasm that aids in cell movement and muscle contraction.
- 14. Larger cell that has a nucleus, a higher level of organization, and organelles.
- 17. Small sac that contains materials to be taken into the cell or transported within the cell.
