Across
- 4. Are structures made of DNA and proteins found inside the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
- 5. Is a thin, flexible, selectively permeable membrane that surrounds the cells of all living organisms.
- 8. Is a membrane-bound organelle that contains the cell's genetic material, including DNA.
- 10. Is a type of cell that contains a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
- 12. Is the basic unit of life, the smallest structure capable of performing all the functions necessary for an organism's survival.
- 13. They are made up of RNA and protein molecules and can be found either floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
- 17. Is a type of cell that lacks a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
- 18. Are organelles that produce energy for the cell through cellular respiration
- 19. Is a process of programmed cell death that occurs naturally in healthy cells to maintain tissue homeostasis.
Down
- 1. Is an organelle that contains enzymes that break down and recycle cellular waste and foreign material.
- 2. Is a thin, flexible layer that surrounds the cell and separates its contents from the outside environment.
- 3. Is the process of cell division that results in the formation of four genetically diverse daughter cells, which is important in sexual reproduction.
- 6. Is a network of protein fibers that provides structural support for the cell and helps with cell movement.
- 7. Is a rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane in some cells, providing additional support and protection.
- 9. Is the process of cell division that results in the formation of two genetically identical daughter cells.
- 11. Is an organelle that plays a key role in the synthesis and transport of proteins and lipids.
- 12. Is a gel-like substance that fills the cell and contains the cell's organelles.
- 14. Are a type of cell that has the ability to differentiate into many different types of cells in the body.
- 15. Are specialized structures within a cell that perform specific functions.
- 16. Is an organelle that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for transport.
