  3. 10. Small membrane-bound sac that functions in moving products into, out of, and within a cell.
  4. 12. A long molecule consisting of many similar or identical monomers linked together.
  5. 16. An organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs
  6. 18. Control center of the cell
  7. 21. A tendency to maintain a balanced or constant internal state; the regulation of any aspect of body chemistry, such as blood glucose, around a particular level
  8. 23. Uses chemicals to break down food and worn out cell parts
  9. 24. Makes proteins
  10. 25. Energy-rich organic compounds, such as fats, oils, and waxes, that are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; long term energy storage.
