Across
  1. 3. The cell's "garbage disposal," breaking down waste and foreign particles.
  2. 4. Reticulum (ER): A network of membranes that helps transport materials and construct cell components.
  3. 7. A type of cell that contains a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
  4. 8. A network of protein filaments that maintains the cell's shape and provides structural support.
  5. 11. Apparatus (or Body): Sorts, packages, and distributes proteins and other molecules to their destinations.
  6. 12. Structures responsible for making proteins.
  7. 13. A small structure within the nucleus that makes ribosomes.
  8. 15. Found in plant cells, these organelles are responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy.
  9. 16. Wall: A rigid outer layer, primarily in plant cells, that provides structural support and protection.
  10. 17. A type of cell that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
  11. 18. (Deoxyribonucleic Acid): The genetic code that carries instructions for all living things.
Down
  1. 1. Small sacs that transport materials within the cell.
  2. 2. Long, whip-like structures that enable a cell to move.
  3. 5. An organelle involved in cell division, particularly in animal cells.
  4. 6. Membrane-bound sacs that store water, nutrients, and waste.
  5. 8. The jelly-like substance filling the cell, where organelles are suspended.
  6. 9. The "control center" of the cell, containing genetic material (DNA).
  7. 10. The "powerhouses" of the cell, converting nutrients into energy.
  8. 14. Membrane: The outer boundary of the cell, controlling the passage of materials in and out.
  9. 15. Short, hair-like structures that help with movement or to move substances across the cell surface.
