Across
  1. 2. large and complex, dozens of structures and internal membrane, genetic material inside nucleus, unicellular or multcellular
  2. 7. located only in plant cells, site of photosynthesis, green from the pigment chlorophyll
  3. 8. mains cell shape, moves cell parts, helps cells move
  4. 11. site where amino acids are brought for protein synthesis, located on ER or free floating in cytoplasm
  5. 12. this term means little organs
  6. 15. wall located only in plants, provides structure, support, and protection for plants
  7. 17. smaller and simpler, genetic material isn't in nucleus, less complicated, single celled (ex: bacteria)
  8. 19. filled with enzymes, breaks down carbohydrates, proteins, & lipids, breaks down the cell when it's damaged or old
  9. 20. only present in animal cells, aids in cell division
  10. 21. storage, more abundant in plant cells, but still present in some animal cells, can store water, salts, protein, & carbohydrates
Down
  1. 1. cell has a soft membrane outside that allows for fluids and nutrients to easily come inside the cell, and allows for wastes to be easily transported out
  2. 3. having or consisting of one cell
  3. 4. similar to vacuoles, stores materials
  4. 5. cell has a protective outer "wall" that prevents water from getting out easily
  5. 6. having or consisting of many cells
  6. 9. endoplasmic reticulum / portion of the ER that doesn't have ribosomes, contains collections of enzymes that detoxify drugs
  7. 10. envelope surrounds nucleus, double membrane, contains 1000s pores to let molecules in and out
  8. 13. apparatus modify, sort, and package proteins, enter after leaving the ER
  9. 14. nearly all the cell's DNA is located in this organelle, red blood cells don't have this, control center
  10. 15. the protoplasm outside the nucleus of a cell
  11. 16. site of cellular respiration, where chemical energy is released for the body's use, power house of the cell, located in both plant and animal cells
  12. 18. endoplasmic reticulum portion of the ER involved in synthesis of proteins, contains ribosomes
