Plant Cell
Across
- 2. a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells. They bind messenger RNA and transfer RNA to synthesize polypeptides and proteins.
- 5. a small dense spherical structure in the nucleus of a cell during interphase.
- 9. an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur.
- 10. the gelatinous liquid that fills the inside of a cell.
- 11. a rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria. In the algae and higher plants it consists mainly of cellulose.
Down
- 1. the semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell.
- 3. the central and most important part of an object, movement, or group, forming the basis for its activity and growth.
- 4. a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular transport.
- 6. an organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane.
- 7. a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
- 8. a space or vesicle within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid.
