Across
- 2. an intercellular structure made of both RNA and protein, and it is the site of protein synthesis in the cell.
- 4. the structure in a cell that contains the chromosomes.
- 6. the gelatinous liquid that fills the inside of a cell
- 7. a structure that helps cells maintain their shape and internal organization
- 10. a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes.
- 11. an organism whose cells contain a nucleus within a membrane
- 12. the spreading of something more widely.
- 13. The cell wall is the outer covering of a cell, present adjacent to the cell membrane, which is also called the plasma membrane
- 14. any external solution that has the same solute concentration and water concentration compared to body fluids.
- 15. a small cavity or space in tissue, especially in nervous tissue as the result of disease.
- 17. the spontaneous passage or diffusion of water or other solvents through a semipermeable membrane
- 18. generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions
- 20. a minute cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell division.
Down
- 1. a large, dynamic structure that serves many roles in the cell including calcium storage, protein synthesis and lipid metabolism
- 3. ion pumps, exocytosis and endocytosis.
- 5. organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and other organelles
- 8. produce energy through photosynthesis and oxygen-release processes, which sustain plant growth and crop yield
- 9. a self-regulating process by which a living organism can maintain internal stability while adjusting to changing external conditions
- 16. transport, sorting and modification of both protein and lipid
- 19. the semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell.
