Across
  1. 2. Outermost layer of the cell that provides protection.
  2. 4. Microtubules and microfilaments that give the cell its shape (provide structure & support), moves cell parts, & helps movement.
  3. 5. Mainly stores water in plant cells to help regulate water levels & maintain cell shape; largest structure in plant cells
  4. 7. Synthesises proteins, either floats freely or is attached to RER
  5. 9. Contains chlorophyll which traps light energy and converts Carbon Dioxide into oxygen and water through photosynthesis
  6. 10. Coverts nutrients into energy, the powerhouse of the cell
  7. 13. Tail-like structure that the cell uses for movement
  8. 14. Contains DNA and regulates genes; the "brain" of the cell
  9. 15. Passageways where proteins & lipids are made & transported. Breaks down drugs in the cell. Has ribosomes attached.
  10. 16. Structure that produces spindle fibers & organises motion of chromosomes during mitosis
  11. 18. Circular, separate piece of genetic material (DNA) that can replicate by transferring themselves to other host cells. Play a role in developing antibiotic resistance to drugs
  12. 19. Sacs filled with digestive chemicals (enzymes). Digests unwanted cell parts "pac-man"
  13. 20. "Bubbles" that transport sorted and packaged materials from the Golgi Apparatus ("UPS" drivers)
Down
  1. 1. Passageways where proteins & lipids are made & transported. Breaks down drugs in the cell. No ribosomes attached.
  2. 2. Outermost layer that helps support the cell and maintain the rigid shape.
  3. 3. Breaks down fatty acids & proteins; detox by oxidizing toxins and producing hydrogen peroxide
  4. 6. Packages chemicals, the "UPS" department, ships synthesised cell products
  5. 8. Everything between the nuclear membrane and cell membrane - jelly-like substance that houses organelles
  6. 11. Reigion inside the cell that contains genetic material (DNA/RNA) but is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane.
  7. 12. Sac that stores water, nutrients, or waste products. "Storage bins" (Small in animal cells)
  8. 14. Structure that manufactures RNA & ribosomes
  9. 16. Lipid bilayer membrane that surrounds and protects the cell. Selectively permeable, "selects" what goes in and out of the cell.
  10. 17. Hair-like structures that attach cells to surfaces and can transfer genetic material from one cell to another
