Across
- 4. Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for transport inside or outside the cell.
- 6. Synthesizes lipids (fats), metabolizes carbohydrates, and detoxifies chemicals.
- 8. Organizes microtubules and aids in separating chromosomes during cell division.
- 11. Provides rigid structural support, shape, and protection outside the cell membrane.
- 12. Contains digestive enzymes to break down waste, worn-out cell parts, and foreign invaders.
- 13. Folds, processes, and transports proteins using attached ribosomes.
- 14. Stores water, nutrients, and waste products (small in animal cells; large central vacuole in plant cells).
Down
- 1. Breaks down fatty acids and neutralizes toxic substances like hydrogen peroxide.
- 2. Provides structural support, maintains cell shape, and assists in internal cellular movement.
- 3. Located inside the nucleus; produces and assembles ribosomes.
- 5. Synthesizes proteins using genetic instructions from RNA.
- 7. Generates energy for the cell in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.
- 9. Stores genetic material (DNA) and directs all cellular activities.
- 10. Converts sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose through photosynthesis.
