Biology

2. A structure inside the nucleus where RNA is transcribed.
7. wall Mostly made of cellulose, this is the tough and rigid outer layer of plant cells.
9. Therapy that uses drugs to damage cancer cells and make it difficult for them to grow in number.
10. an egg shaped body that appears green from all the chlorophyll they contain. This organelle is where photosynthesis takes place.
11. a body structure that works to perform a specialized function. Examples include the lung or heart.
13. a large series of cells that work together to form a specific function.
14. Bodies that make up a cell.

1. Any tumor, growth or cell abnormality that is not cancerous. The growth will not spread to deeper tissues or other parts of the body.
3. Thin, intertwined pieces of DNA found in the cell's nucleus.
4. storage areas of the cell known for storing mostly water and/or food.
5. Indicates that cancer cells are present and may be able to spread to other parts of the body.
6. Shaped like a bean, this cell organelle helps take food and manufacture energy from it.
7. Jelly-like substance that makes up the matrix of the cell body.
8. the green (in color) pigment found in chloroplasts where photosynthesis takes place.
10. A tumor of damaged cells that reproduce very quickly.
12. The process in which a cell reproduces.
15. the main brain of the cell that contains most of the cell's DNA.
