cells

3. The basic structural and functional unit of all forms of life; they are able to replicate independently
4. Jelly-like substance in the cell containing all the organelles in the cell. It helps to maintain the structure of the cell.
6. The parts of a cell. They process and release energy, destroy and digest materials, and replicate genetic information.
8. All organisms are made of cells (one or more);The cell is the basic building block of life (in structure and function);Every cell comes from another existing cell (cells divide to form new cells)
12. Protein-making factories in a cell.
13. A protective double membrane surrounding the nucleus that controls the flow of materials in and out of the nucleus.

1. A small structure found inside the nucleus that makes ribosomes and transports them to the cytoplasm.
2. Temporary storage bubbles for the cell, storing food, water, or waste.
4. Plants, algae, fungi and some bacteria have an extra computer layer that is very rigid and tough, that helps protect the cell and give it shape.
5. The cell’s transport organelle, processing and moving materials throughout the cell.
7. The cell’s powerhouse, releasing energy in food by carrying out a reaction with oxygen.
8. In every cell, there is a layer on the outside of the cell that holds the cell together, and controls the flow of material in and out of the cell (a semi-permeable layer, allowing some stuff through and keeping other things out).
9. Organelle that contains digestive chemicals that break down food, cell waste, and foreign particles that enter the cell (i.e. viruses and bacteria). It digests and destroys dead cells and old cell parts and recycles material to make other cells.
10. The cell’s “control center”, housing the cell’s chromosomes.
11. The cell’s packaging, sorting, and distributing organelle. They sort proteins from the Endoplasmic Reticulum and then distribute them to where they need to go.
