Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes I-1,E-2

5. Network of protein filaments in a eukaryotic cell that gives the cell its shape and internal organization and is involved in movement
6. Organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical reactions
8. basic unit of all forms of life
10. in cells, structure that contains the cell’s genetic material in the form of DNA
12. Organelle in cells that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage in the cell or release outside the cell
13. Reticulum: internal membrane system found in eukaryotic cells; place where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled
14. organism whose cells contain a nucleus

1. specialized structure that performs important cellular functions within a eukaryotic cell
2. Cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use
3. cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates
4. cell organelle that breaks down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins into small molecules that can be used by the rest of the cell
6. fundamental concept of biology that states that all living things are composed of cells; that cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things; and that new cells are produced from existing cells
7. cell organelle consisting of RNA and protein found throughout the cytoplasm in a cell; the site of protein synthesis
9. unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus
11. in eukaryotic cells, all cellular contents outside the nucleus; in prokaryotic cells, all of the cells’ contents
