- 8. the semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell
- 10. gelatinous liquid that fills the inside of a cell
- 12. small organelles found within the cells of most eukaryotes, primarily responsible for generating the cell's energy supply
- 13. a process in living organisms involving the production of energy, typically with the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide from the oxidation of complex organic substances
- 14. a rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria. In the algae and higher plants it consists mainly of cellulose

- 1. a chemical process where plants, algae, and certain bacteria use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and sugar (glucose)
- 2. an organism that consists of more than one cell
- 4. a membrane-bound organelle that houses the cell's genetic material, primarily DNA in the form of chromosomes, and is considered the control center of the cell, regulating various cellular activities
- 5. organelles found in plant cells and some algae that are responsible for photosynthesis
- 6. organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and other organelles
