Across
  1. 1. green pigment that captures the light energy that drives the light reactions of photosynthesis
  2. 3. region in animal cells made of two centrioles
  3. 5. organelle in an animal cell that functions as the cell’s digestive component; it breaks down proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, nucleic acids, and even worn-out organelles
  4. 7. (singular = mitochondrion) cellular organelles responsible for carrying out cellular respiration, resulting in the production of ATP, the cell’s main energy-carrying molecule
  5. 9. entire region between the plasma membrane and the nuclear envelope, consisting of organelles suspended in the gel-like cytosol, the cytoskeleton, and various chemicals
  6. 10. darkly staining body within the nucleus that is responsible for assembling the subunits of the ribosomes
  7. 12. theory,see unified cell theory
  8. 13. semi-solid fluid inside the nucleus that contains the chromatin and nucleolus
  9. 14. membrane, phospholipid bilayer with embedded (integral) or attached (peripheral) proteins, and separates the internal content of the cell from its surrounding environment
  10. 16. membrane-bound sac, somewhat larger than a vesicle, which functions in cellular storage and transport
  11. 19. small, round organelle that contains hydrogen peroxide, oxidizes fatty acids and amino acids, and detoxifies many poisons
  12. 22. vacuole, large plant cell organelle that regulates the cell’s storage compartment, holds water, and plays a significant role in cell growth as the site of macro molecule degradation
  13. 23. protein-DNA complex that serves as the building material of chromosomes
  14. 24. gel-like material of the cytoplasm in which cell structures are suspended
  15. 26. cell, cell that has a membrane-bound nucleus and several other membrane-bound compartments or sacs
Down
  1. 2. cellular structure that carries out protein synthesis
  2. 4. structure within the nucleus that is made up of chromatin that contains DNA, the hereditary material
  3. 6. compartment or sac within a cell
  4. 8. envelope, double-membrane structure that constitutes the outermost portion of the nucleus
  5. 11. cell organelle that houses the cell’s DNA and directs the synthesis of ribosomes and proteins
  6. 15. an instrument that magnifies an object
  7. 17. wall, rigid cell covering made of various molecules that protects the cell, provides structural support, and gives shape to the cell
  8. 18. microscope, an instrument that magnifies an object using a beam visible light passed and bent through a lens system to visualize a specimen
  9. 20. microscope,an instrument that magnifies an object using a beam of electrons passed and bent through a lens system to visualize a specimen
  10. 21. plant cell organelle that carries out photosynthesis
  11. 25. small, membrane-bound sac that functions in cellular storage and transport; its membrane is capable of fusing with the plasma membrane and the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus
