Across
- 3. a part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction
- 7. in a eukaryotic cell, one of the structures in the nucleus that are made up of DNA and protein; in a prokaryotic cell, the main ring of DNA.
- 9. That portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that is free of ribosomes.
- 11. A cell is a basic unit of life.
- 12. Stacks of sacks in the Chloroplasts.
- 13. thin, flexible barrier around a cell; regulates what enters and leaves the cell. Made of a lipid bilayer.
- 15. Cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates
- 16. organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy
- 17. An organelle is a structure that carries out specific activities within the cell.
- 18. a whole structure (as a building) made up of interconnected or related structures
- 19. A small living plant or animal seen only with a microscope; a microbe
- 24. controls what goes in and out of the nucleus
- 26. (biochemistry) a long linear polymer found in the nucleus of a cell and formed from nucleotides and shaped like a double helix
- 28. a network of fibers that holds the cell together, helps the cell to keep its shape, and aids in movement
- 30. Creates own food like plants.
- 34. compounds containing carbon (something made by living organisms)
- 35. directs movement of genetic material during cell division.
- 36. small particle in the cell on which proteins are assembled; made of RNA and protein
Down
- 1. A cell that contains a nucleus and membrane bound organelles; opposite of Prokaryote
- 2. a network of interconnected membranous sacs in a eukaryotic cell's cytoplasm; covered with ribosomes that make membrane proteins and secretory proteins.
- 4. Consumes others for food.
- 5. Single celled, lacks a nucleus, lacks internal structures.
- 6. does not contain carbon (not made by living organisms & found in the earth's crust)
- 7. Strong layer around the cell membrane in plants, algae, and some bacteria
- 8. the region of the cell within the membrane that includes the fluid, the cytoskeleton, and all of the organelles except the nucleus. Three main functions: energy, storage, and manufacturing.
- 10. Powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of ATP (energy) production
- 14. an intracellular vesicle moves to the plasma membrane and fusion of the vesicular membrane and plasma membrane occurs
- 20. a structure in a cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell
- 21. The organelle where ribosomes are made, synthesized and partially assembled, located in the nucleus
- 22. the manner of construction of something and the arrangement of its parts
- 23. (microbiology) single-celled or noncellular spherical or spiral or rod-shaped organisms lacking chlorophyll that reproduce by fission
- 25. a substance gains entry into a cell without passing through the cell membrane.
- 27. Basic units of DNA molecule, composed of a sugar, a phosphate, and one of 4 DNA bases
- 29. single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus; prokaryotes
- 31. a living thing that has (or can develop) the ability to act or function independently
- 32. All living things are made of cells. Cells are the basic units of form and function in living things. All cells come from pre-existing cells.
- 33. An organelle containing digestive enzymes
