Across
- 1. organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that capture energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy
- 5. envelope Layer of two membranes that surrounds the nucleus of a cell
- 7. strong supporting layer around the cell membrane in plants, algae, and some bacteria
- 8. when comparing two solutions, the solution with the greater concentration of the solutes
- 10. network of protein filaments within some cells that helps the cell maintain its shape and is involved in many forms of cell movement
- 11. when the concentration of a solute is the same throughout a solution
- 13. process of which a cell releases a large amount of material
- 15. Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
- 17. group of similar cells that perform a particular function
- 18. energy requiring process that moves materials across a cell membrane against a concentration difference
- 19. process by which a cell takes material into the cell by infolding of the cell membrane
- 20. movement of specific molecules across cell membranes through protein channels
- 24. organism whose cells contains a nucleus
- 25. stack of membranes in the cell that modifies, sorts, and packages from the endoplasmic reticulum
- 27. Small particle in the cell on which proteins are assembled, made up of RNA and protein
- 28. process in which extensions of cytoplasm surround and engulfs large particles and take them into the cell
- 29. The center of the atom which contains the protons and neutrons
- 31. cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates
- 32. thin flexible barrier around a cell, regulates what enters and leaves the cell
- 33. Small dense region within the most nuclei in which the assembly of proteins begins
- 37. when comparing two solutions, the solution with the lesser concentration of the solutes
Down
- 2. double layered sheet that forms the core of nearly all cell membranes
- 3. idea that all living things are composed of cells, cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things, and new cells are produced from existing cells
- 4. The mass of solute in a given volume of solution
- 6. threadlike structure within the nucleus containing genetic information that is passed from one generation of cells to the next
- 7. granular material visible within the nucleus, consists of DNA tightly coiled around proteins
- 9. separate roles for each type of cells in multicellular organisms
- 12. process by which a cell takes liquid from the surrounding environment
- 14. system group of organs that work together to preform a specific function
- 16. process by which molecules tend to move from one area where they are more concentrated to one where they are less
- 19. internal membrane system in cells in which lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled and some proteins are modified
- 21. cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use
- 22. material inside the cell membrane-not including the nucleus
- 23. single-celled organism lacking a nucleus
- 26. Specialized structure that preforms important cellular functions within a eukaryotic cell
- 30. collection of living matter, basic unit of life
- 34. One of two tiny structures located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nucleus envelope
- 35. when the concentration of two solutions is the same
- 36. cell organelle filled with enzymes needed to break down certain materials in the cell
