- 2. Energy extraction process without oxygen.
- 4. Green pigment contained in the thylakoid.
- 7. Cells that have genetic material enclosed within a membrane bound nucleus and contain other organelles.
- 9. The site of photosynthesis and capture solar energy.
- 10. A small particle composed of ribosomal RNA and proteins.
- 11. The outer membrane of a cell, composed of a bi-layer of phospholipids in which proteins are embedded.
- 12. Energy extraction process with oxygen.
- 16. A network of protein fibers in the cytoplasm that gives shape to the cell, holds and moves organelles, and is typically involved in cell movement.
- 18. A series of interconnected membranes; where proteins and phospholipids of cell membranes are synthesized.
- 22. A membrane enclosed structures found inside a eukaryotic cell that performs a specific function.
- 23. A molecule composed of ribose nucleotides, each of which consits of a phosphate group, the sugar ribose, and one of the bases adenine, cytosine, guanine or uracil; involved in converting the information of DNA into protein.
- 24. These vesicles serve as the cell's digestive system.
- 25. The control center of the eukaryotic cell.
- 27. Sorts, chemically alters, and packages important molecules.
- 29. A molecule composed of deoxyribose nucleotides, and contains the genetic information of all living cells.
Down
- 1. The scientific theory that every living organism is made up of one or more cells; cells are the functional units of all organisms; all cells arise from preexisting cells.
- 3. Chromatin compacted into long strands.
- 5. Part of the cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells that is composed of the proteins actin and myosin; functions in the movement of cell organelles, locomotion by extension of the plasma membrane, and sometimes contraction of entire cells.
- 6. All of the material contained within the plasma membrane of a cell excluding the nucleus.
- 8. A hollow cylindrical strand found in eukaryotic cells that is composed of the proteins tubulin; part of the cytoskeleton used in the movement of organelles, cell growth and the construction of cilia and flagella.
- 9. The fluid portion of the cytoplasm.
- 13. Slender extensions of the plasma membrane; used in the movement of the cell.
- 14. Membranous sacs that transport substances among the seperate regions of the membrane system.
- 15. The site of ribosome synthesis.
- 16. The outer surface of plants, fungi and some protists; composed of cellulose and other polysaccharides.
- 17. Slender extensions of the plasma membrane; used in the movement of the cell.
- 19. This seperates the nucleus from the rest of the cell; a double membrane perforated by nuclear pores.
- 20. Cells that have genetic material that is not enclosed in a membrane bound nucleus.
- 21. The "powerhouse" of the cell.
- 26. Sacs which regulate water and storage.
- 28. Storage containers for various molecules and are only found in plant cells.
