Across
- 1. the region between the cell membrane and the nucleus that is filled with a gel-like substance
- 3. large oval structure that directs the cell's activities
- 6. storage area of the cell
- 11. controls what enters and leaves the nucleus
- 13. captures energy from sunlight and uses it to produce energy for the cell
- 14. small round structures that break down large food particles into smaller ones
Down
- 1. gives the cells shape
- 2. forms outside boundary that separates the cell from its environment
- 4. receives proteins and other newly formed materials and distributes them to other parts of the cell in vesicles
- 5. makes ribosomes
- 7. the rigid layer of material that surrounds the cells of plants and other organisms
- 8. forms fibers to align chromosomes during cell division
- 9. a maze-like passageway for proteins near the nucleus
- 10. function as factories to produce proteins
- 12. produces most of the energy a cell needs to carry out its functions
