  1. 4. 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.
  2. 6. The movement of molecules from an area of high to low concentration.
  3. 7. A small structure found inside the nucleus that makes ribosomes and transports them to the cytoplasm
  4. 12. Large molecules made from stringing amino acids together.
  5. 13. The cell’s powerhouse, releasing energy in food by carrying out a reaction with oxygen
  6. 14. Protein-making factories in a cell
  7. 16. Cells found in animals.
  8. 17. The cell’s transport organelle, processing and moving materials throughout the cell
  9. 18. The cell’s “control center”, housing the cell’s chromosomes
  10. 19. Diffusion Transport proteins on the cell’s membrane transport substances into and out of the cell without energy.
  11. 20. The chemical reaction a plant carries out in order to produce energy from sunlight. Chlorophyll uses the sun’s energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into energy (glucose). Oxygen is released as a waste product.
  12. 23. Temporary storage bubbles for the cell, storing food, water, or waste.
  13. 24. Much more complex types of cells (containing a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, and organelles) found in protists, fungi, animals and plants.
  14. 26. In every cell, there is a layer on the outside of the cell that holds the cell together, and controls the flow of material in and out of the cell (a semi-permeable layer, allowing some stuff through and keeping other things out)
  15. 29. Acids Compounds that can be added together to make proteins.
  16. 31. A protective double membrane surrounding the nucleus that controls the flow of materials in and out of the nucleus
  17. 33. Respiration Glucose in food reacts with oxygen, producing carbon dioxide, water and energy in the mitochondria; waste products are carbon dioxide and water.
Down
  1. 1. Moving things inside and outside of the cell membrane.
  2. 2. Very simple, single-celled bacteria that do not have a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, or organelles.
  3. 3. 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
  4. 5. Organelle that contains digestive chemicals that break down food, cell waste, and foreign particles that enter the cell (i.e. viruses and bacteria). It digests and destroys dead cells and old cell parts and recycles material to make other cells
  5. 8. The basic structural and functional unit of all forms of life; they are able to replicate independently
  6. 9. The movement of things in and out of the cell without the use of energy.
  7. 10. Organisms that exist that are composed of a single cell (bacteria, yeast, protozoa, and diatoms).
  8. 11. Another chemical reaction where energy is released through the breakdown of food; occurs where oxygen is not present. One waste product is Lactic Acid (which causes muscles to cramp when it builds up).
  9. 15. Organism that is composed of many cells, and many different types of cells that perform different tasks throughout the organism.
  10. 21. The parts of a cell. They process and release energy, destroy and digest materials, and replicate genetic information
  11. 22. Jelly-like substance in the cell containing all the organelles in the cell. It helps to maintain the structure of the cell
  12. 25. Transport This transport requires energy to move a substance into and out of a cell. A transport protein called AdenosineTriphosphate (ATP) binds with the molecule and transports it into the cell using the cell’s energy. (When a molecule moves against its concentration gradient, energy is required.))
  13. 27. All of the chemical reactions that allow a cell to survive; includes the chemical reactions required to release or generate energy, to produce chemicals the body needs such as proteins, and to expel waste.
  14. 28. 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)
  15. 30. Cells found in plants (with a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large, central vacuole for storage that takes up a lot of space).Single Cell Organisms
  16. 32. Plants, algae, fungi and some bacteria have an extra computer layer that is very rigid and tough, that helps protect the cell and give it shape
