Across
- 2. the readily stainable substance of a cell nucleus, consisting of DNA, RNA, and various proteins, that forms chromosomes during cell division
- 3. a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular transport
- 4. a cell organelle containing enzymes that digest particles and that disintegrate the cell after its death
- 5. a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes
- 8. the double membrane surrounding the nucleus within a cell
- 9. the definite boundary or wall that is part of the outer structure of certain cells, as a plant cell

Down
- 1. A tubular membrane that transports materials
- 6. an organelle in the cytoplasm that produces energy
- 7. a central part about which other parts are grouped or gathered, in other words, the core
- 10. a microscopic network of protein filaments and tubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells, giving them shape and coherence
