Across
- 3. Cells that do not contain their genetic material inside a nucleus, includes bacteria and archaea
- 4. Polymers composed of monomers called nucleotides
- 6. Found in eukaryotic cells, an extensive network of vesicles (sacs made of membrane) called cisternae that are continuous with the nuclear envelope
- 9. A series of “banana-shaped” membrane sacs (cisternae) that receives proteins from the ER to modify and send to other locations, can also make polysaccharides
- 10. Building blocks of polypeptides and proteins
- 14. Have a membrane-bound structure called a nucleus to enclose their DNA, can reproduce both sexually and asexually
- 16. Formed by the peptide bonding of amino acids to each other in long chains, not synonymous with the term “protein”
- 18. Biologically functional molecules that typically consist of 1 or more polypeptides (the polymer form) folded and coiled into a 3-D structure
- 20. A double-stranded genetic material that individual inherits from one generation to the next, resides in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells
- 21. The “little sausage-like” organelle that is involved in cellular respiration, which is a process that generates ATP
- 22. The strictly eukaryotic organelle where photosynthesis occurs, light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll, a green pigment, found in the _____, Sugars (glucose) are produced, and oxygen gas is released
- 24. Found only in eukaryotic cells, contains most of the genes in the eukaryotic cell and is surrounded by a nuclear envelope
- 25. Is responsible for transferring the protein making instructions of DNA to the protein making machinery, ribosomes
Down
- 1. A large molecule that is composed of many similar identical building blocks linked by covalent bonds
- 2. A network of fibers extending throughout the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells
- 5. A membranous sac of hydrolytic enzymes that an animal uses to digest macromolecules
- 7. Makes up most of the dry weight of any organism, compounds containing carbon are called organic compounds, organisms are distinguished by and composed of four main types of organic compounds
- 8. Are the only known prokaryotic domain with the ability to cause illness in humans, found in a variety of shapes – rods, circles, spirals, etc.
- 11. The repeating units of similar identical building blocks that are linked by covalent bonds that compose polymers
- 12. The protein making “machines” of the cell
- 13. Mix poorly, if at all, with water despite having some polar regions containing oxygen, they mostly consist mainly of carbon and hydrogen
- 15. Include both sugars and polymers of sugars, characterized by their carbonyl (C=O) and hydroxyl (-OH) groups, most sugar names also end in “-ose”
- 17. Has several functions including protection, maintaining cell shape, prevent excessive uptake of water
- 19. Large vesicles derived from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi complex
- 23. not known to be infectious to humans, typically live in very extreme environments/needs extreme environments to survive
