Across
- 1. It protects the plant cell and maintains its shape.
- 3. They are cellular organelles where cellular respiration occurs.
- 5. It helps to maintain chemical environments inside the organelles that are different from the environment of the rest of the cell.
- 6. A organelle found in some plant cells and certain unicellular organisms where photosynthesis takes place.
- 7. A ball-like mass of fibers and granules in a cell nucleus.
- 8. It is a cellular organelle that modifies, stores, and routes cell products.
- 10. It is a cell that lacks a nucleus and most other organelles.
- 12. It is a system of membranous tubes and sacs containing ribosomes which function in the manufacture of membrane-bound proteins.
- 14. It is a cell that has a nucleus surrounded by its own membrane, and has other internal organelles bounded by membranes.
- 17. A microscopic network of protein filaments and tubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells, giving them shape and coherence.
- 18. A membrane-bound sac containing digestive enzymes that can break down proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides.
Down
- 1. Each of the two threadlike strands into which a chromosome divides longitudinally during cell division. Each contains a double helix of DNA.
- 2. It is a system of membranous tubes and sacs that functions in lipid synthesis.
- 4. It surrounds the nucleus.
- 9. A threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
- 11. It houses the cell's genetic material in the form of DNA.
- 13. A membrane-bound sac that buds from the endoplasmic reticulum or the Golgi apparatus.
- 15. A cluster of proteins and nucleic acids that constructs proteins in a cell.
- 16. A thin membrane (a double layer of lipids) enclosing the cytoplasm of a cell; proteins in the membrane control passage of ions (like sodium or potassium or calcium) in and out of the cell.
