Across
  1. 3. the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy to produce food, using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to create glucose and oxygen.
  2. 4. oval-shaped and possess a double membrane structure with a matrix and cristae.
  3. 6. a small organelle in cells that breaks down fatty acids and detoxifies harmful substances.
  4. 9. a gel-like substance that fills the space within the cell membrane, excluding. the nucleus.
  5. 10. a membrane bound organelle that contains the DNA of the cell.
  6. 12. a selectively permeable barrier that separates the plant cell's interior from. its surroundings.
  7. 13. tiny structures responsible for making proteins.
  8. 15. a specialized, non-membrane-bound structure within the nucleus, primarily responsible for ribosome biogenesis and the transcription of ribosomal RNA (rRNA).
Down
  1. 1. tiny channels that connect plant cells, allowing the transport of water, nutrients, and signals between them.
  2. 2. green, disk-shaped structures are essentially the "kitchen" of the plant cell.
  3. 5. calcium carbonate crystals in plants that help store calcium and may deter herbivores.
  4. 7. a structural layer surrounding some cells, found outside the plasma membrane.
  5. 8. a network of protein fibers in a cell that provides structure, support, and helps with movement and transport within the cell.
  6. 11. DNA wrapped around proteins (histones) that packages and regulates gene activity in the nucleus.
  7. 14. a large, membrane-bound organelle that occupies a significant portion of the cell's volume.
