- 3. These organelles consist of RNA and proteins and are responsible for protein production. These organelles are found suspended in the Cytosol or bound to the Endoplasmic Reticulum.
- 8. non-compartmentalized and contains a single long, continuous, circular thread of DNA; the bacterial chromosome; a dense region of DNA in a prokaryotic cell
- 9. contains dissolved substances, enzymes, and the cell organelles; occurs inside the plasma membrane or the outer boundary of the cell; it is in this region that the organelles are found
- 10. These structures are filamentous scaffolding within the cytoplasm (fluid portion of the cytoplasm is the cytosol). These structures provide internal structure and mediate intracellular transport (less developed in Prokaryotes)
- 12. non-cellular structures that carry out specific functions (a bit like organs in multicellular organisms)
- 14. Hair-like growths on the outside of the cell wall which can be used for attachment however, their main function is joining bacterial cells in preparation for the transfer of DNA from one cell to another (sexual reproduction)
- 16. Endoplasmic Reticulum/ Extensive network of membranes composed of regions with Ribosomes. This organelle manufactures membranes, secretory proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and hormones.
- 17. This chlorophyll containing plastid is found in plant cells, but not animal cells. This organelle absorbs the Sun’s light energy for Photosynthesis.
- 18. are much smaller and simpler than Eukaryotic cells, have no nucleus, are unicellular, have no membrane-bound organelles and divide by binary fission; bacteria
Down
- 1. These cylindrical structures are found in animal cells, but not plant cells. These structures help to organize the assembly of microtubules during cell division.
- 2. Like lysosomes, this organelle is bound by a membrane and contain enzymes. This organelle helps to detoxify alcohol, form bile acid, and break down fats.
- 4. As the cell's power producers, mitochondria convert energy into forms that are usable by the cell. They are the sites of cellular respiration which ultimately generates fuel for the cell's activities. This organelles is also involved in other cell processes such as cell division and growth, as well as cell death.
- 5. Apparatus/ This structure is responsible for manufacturing, warehousing, and shipping certain cellular products, particularly those from the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER).
- 6. Membranous sacs filled with hydrolytic enzymes that will breakdown/ hydrolysis of macromolecules (presence in plant cells is unsure)
- 7. These fluid-filled, enclosed structures are found most commonly in plant cells and fungi. These structures are responsible for a wide variety of important functions in a cell including nutrient storage, detoxification, and waste exportation.
- 9. Wall/ This rigid outer wall is positioned next to the cell membrane in most plant cells. Not found in animal cells, this structure helps to provide support and protection for the cell.
- 11. A membrane bound structure that contains the cell's hereditary (DNA) information and controls the cell’s growth and reproduction. It is commonly the most prominent organelle in the cell.
- 13. are large cells which have a nucleus, can be either multicellular or unicellular, have membrane-bound organelles, divide through mitosis or meiosis, and have organelles which enable compartmentalization; algae, protozoa, fungi, plants, and animals
- 15. Membrane/ This is a Phospholipid Bilayer embedded with proteins (not an organelle, but a vital structure). This structure is a semi-permeable and selective barrier surrounding the cell.
- 19. Endoplasmic Reticulum/ Extensive network of membranes composed of regions without Ribosomes. This organelle manufactures membranes, secretory proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and hormones.
