Across
- 2. The basic units of all living things
- 5. Cells that enclose their DNA in nuclei
- 7. Converts chemical energy stored in food molecules into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use.
- 8. Capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy stored in food during photosynthesis
- 9. Stores materials like water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates; large sac-like membrane enclosed structures
- 11. Small particles of RNA and protein found throughout the cytoplasm in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes
- 12. Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage in the cell or release from the cell
- 13. Helps the cell maintain its shape and is also involved in movement
- 15. Concept of biology that states all living things are made of cells, cells are the basic structure and function of all living things, and that new cells are produced from existing cells
Down
- 1. A large membrane-enclosed structure that contains genetic material in the form of DNA
- 3. Small organelles filled with enzymes
- 4. Cells that do not enclose their DNA in nuclei
- 6. Gives cell membranes a flexible structure that forms a strong barrier between the cell and its surroundings
- 10. Known as “little organs”, organs of the cell
- 14. The portion of the cell outside the nucleus
