Across
- 2. A cell structure that forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another.
- 5. a molecule that can be bonded to other identical molecules to form a polymer
- 7. A unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
- 9. basic unit of matter
- 10. produces ribosomes
- 11. macromolecule containing hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus examples include DNA and RNA, monomers are nucleotides
- 14. organelles that capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis
- 15. site of protein synthesis
- 17. Energy-rich organic compounds, such as fats, oils, and waxes, that are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, monomers are glycerol and fatty acids.
- 18. the study of organisms
Down
- 1. cell organelle filled with enzymes needed to break down certain materials in the cell
- 3. A type of protein that speeds up a chemical reaction in a living thing, end in ase example :lactase
- 4. A system of membranes that modifies and packages proteins for export by the cell
- 5. A group of atoms bonded together
- 6. the starches and sugars present in foods, monomers are glucose
- 7. macromolecule that contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen; needed by the body for growth and repair, monomers are amino acids
- 8. Powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of ATP (energy) production
- 12. A part of the cell containing DNA and responsible for growth and reproduction, only in eukaryotic cells
- 13. A long molecule consisting of many similar or identical
- 16. A cell that contains a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
