Across
- 5. An organelle within the nucleus - it is where ribosomal RNA is produced.
- 6. The thin layer of protein and fat that surrounds the cell. It is semipermeable, allowing some substances to pass into the cell and blocking others.
- 9. It transports materials through the cell and produces proteins in sacks called cisternae
- 10. It produces the membranes that surround the lysosomes. It packages proteins and carbohydrates into membrane-bound vesicles for “export” from the cell.
- 11. Fluid-filled, membrane-surrounded cavities inside a cell. It fills with food being digested and waste material that is on its way out of the cell.
Down
- 1. It converts the energy stored in glucose into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for the cell.
- 2. It transports materials through the cell. It contains enzymes and produces and digests lipids (fats) and membrane proteins
- 3. Small organelles composed of RNA-rich cytoplasmic granules that are sites of protein synthesis.
- 4. It surrounds the nucleus.
- 7. Round organelles surrounded by a membrane and containing digestive enzymes. This is where the digestion of cell nutrients takes place.
- 8. It controls many of the functions of the cell (by controlling protein synthesis) and contains DNA (in chromosomes).
