Across
  1. 2. Rigid outer layer of a PLANT cell
  2. 4. Receives proteins and materials from the ER, packages them, and distributes them
  3. 7. Control center of the cell; contains DNA (genetic material)
  4. 9. Produces the energy (ATP) a cell needs to carry out its functions; carries out cellular respiration
  5. 12. Assembles amino acids to create proteins; may be free floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough ER
  6. 13. Network of microtubules and filaments that helps the cell maintain its shape. Helps organelles move
  7. 14. The portion of the endoplasmic reticulum studded with ribosomes
  8. 15. The "little organs" with specialized functions within the an eukaryotic cell
  9. 16. Controls what comes into and out of a cell; found in plant and animal cells "skin of the cell"
Down
  1. 1. Vesicle filled with enzymes to break down food and worn out cell parts
  2. 2. Stores food, water, wastes, and other materials
  3. 3. Cell with nucleus and membrane bound organelles; larger and more complex (plant and animal cells)
  4. 5. Gel-like fluid where the organelles are found floating
  5. 6. The portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that is responsible for lipid synthesis and detoxification
  6. 8. Captures energy from the sunlight and uses it to produce food in PLANT cells; photosynthesis
  7. 10. Cells with NO nucleus or membrane-bound organelles; smaller and less complex (bacteria cells)
  8. 11. Helps pull cell contents apart during cell division
