Across
- 3. a microscopic network of protein filaments and tubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells, giving them shape and coherence.
- 4. any member of the most important class of pigments involved in photosynthesis
- 6. a self-replicating material that is present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.
- 9. is a microscopic single-celled organism that has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor
- 11. membrane-enclosed organelles that contain an array of enzymes capable of breaking down all types of biological polymers—proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids.
- 12. a membrane-bound organelle which is present in plant and fungal cells and some protist, animal, and bacterial cells
- 15. organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
- 16. the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism, typically microscopic and consisting of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane.
- 18. a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular transport.
- 19. an organelle found in both animal cells and plant cells
Down
- 1. any of various cytoplasmic organelles of photosynthetic organisms that serve in many cases as centers of special metabolic activities
- 2. an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur.
- 5. the more fluid, granular inner layer of the cytoplasm in amoeboid cells.
- 7. a minute cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell division.
- 8. the material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the nucleus.
- 10. a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
- 13. cells, typically a single rounded structure bounded by a double membrane, containing the genetic material.
- 14. specialized organelles.
- 17. a dense organelle present in most
- 20. an intercellular structure made of both RNA and protein, and it is the site of protein synthesis in the cells
