Across
- 5. Short whip-like extensions of the plasma membrane surface which propels outside substances.
- 6. Cellular phase for final division of the cell, indicated by the prominent cleavage furrow of the cell membrane.
- 7. Condensed chromatin used in replication of the cell.
- 9. Cellular phase for stages outside of mitosis.
- 12. Gel-like substance that fills the cell's interior.
- 13. Packages proteins for transport inside and outside of the cell.
- 18. Translates mRNA from the nucleus to synthesize proteins.
- 19. Second stage of mitosis; chromosomes are pulled to the midline of the cell.
- 21. Cellular phase for replication.
Down
- 1. Projections of the plasma membrane which were developed to increase the cell's surface area.
- 2. Appear when cells must undergo mitosis.
- 3. The "powerhouse" of the cell; where ATP is synthesized.
- 4. Extensions of the plasma membrane surface that can propel the cell.
- 8. Organelle that includes a "smooth" region for lipid synthesis and a "rough" region for protein synthesis.
- 10. Site where rRNA (ribosomes) are synthesized.
- 11. Main site for chromatin and mRNA synthesis.
- 14. The "suicide sac" that contributes to cellular digestion and metabolism.
- 15. Can neutralize free radicals because of the catalase and oxidase enzymes it contains.
- 16. Fourth stage of mitosis; nuclear membrane begins to develop around the de-condensing chromosomes.
- 17. Third stage of mitosis; chromosomes are pulled away from the midline of the cell.
- 20. First stage of mitosis; condensing of the chromatin and breakdown of the nuclear membrane.
