Across
  1. 2. Control center of the cell; Stores DNA
  2. 4. Made up of RNA; Helps make proteins
  3. 8. Little "organs" of the cell that perform specific functions
  4. 10. Produces ribosomes
  5. 14. Found only in plant cells; Uses sunlight to produce glucose (food) and oxygen; Gives plants green color
  6. 17. Jelly-like space in the cell that suspends organelles
  7. 19. Developed the first modern microscope
  8. 21. First person to use the word "cell" while looking at cork samples
  9. 23. Acts as a filter for the cell; Provides protection
  10. 24. Whip-like tail used for movement in eukaryotes and prokaryotes
  11. 25. Tiny Hairs on eukaryotes used for movement
  12. 26. Assembles proteins
Down
  1. 1. Scientist who stated all plants are made up of cells
  2. 3. Packages and ships proteins
  3. 5. "Powerhouse" of the cell
  4. 6. Openings in the nuclear membrane that allow ribosomes to attach to the ER
  5. 7. Found in plant and bacteria cells; Provides structure for the cell
  6. 9. Smallest unit of life
  7. 11. States all cells come from pre-existing cells
  8. 12. Stores water; Gives plant cells shape
  9. 13. An example of a prokaryote
  10. 15. Found only in animal cells; Contains enzymes that clean up cell waste
  11. 16. Type of ER without ribosomes
  12. 18. Scientist who stated all animals are made up of cells
  13. 20. Double membrane surrounding the nucleus
  14. 22. Tiny hairs on prokaryotes used to stick to other surfaces
  15. 27. Type of ER that has ribosomes
