Across
  1. 5. A short, microscopic, hairlike vibrating structure found in big quantities on the surface of certain cells. They cause currents in the surrounding fluid. In some protozoans and other small organisms, they provide propulsion
  2. 6. whip-like appendages on microbes and cells that provide locomotion. This makes it easier for them to move through their environment.
  3. 7. membrane, acidic organelles containing a variety of powerful hydrolytic enzymes that digest and recycle cellular wast and foreign materials, lipids.
  4. 10. wall a rigid outer layer that provides structural support, protection, and shape to plant, fungal, bacterial, algal cells but not animal cells
  5. 11. A jelly-like substance that fills the space within a cell between the nucleus and cell membrane.
  6. 13. essential cell organelles, often called the powerhouse of the cell, it responsible for converting food into usable energy (ATP).
  7. 14. endoplasmic reticulum Network of folded membranes in eukaryotic cells that is studded with ribosomes, giving it a rough appearance.
  8. 15. a diverse group of organelles in plants and algal cells. They are known for their vital roles in photosynthesis, storage, and providing color.
  9. 17. membrane bound cellular compartments that serve as a storage device and transport space for water, nutrients, and waste products. They also play a role in cell structure and digestion.
  10. 18. Irregularly shaped, membrane-less region of prokaryotic cells that contain all of their genetic material.

  4. 4. Network of protein filaments and tubules within eukaryotic cells that provide structrual support and maintain the shape of the cell.
  5. 8. endoplasmic reticulum A network of membranes in eukaryotic cells that lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis, detoxification of drugs and poisons, and calcium ion storage.
  6. 9. apparatus a cell organelle in eukaryotic cells tha modifies, sorts and packages proteins and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum into vesicles for transport to their final destinations.
  7. 12. Single membrane bound organelles thar are small and found in all eukaryotic cells that perform essential metabolic functions, including lipid breakdown and detoxification.
  8. 16. specialized peroxisomes found in plant cells and microorganisms that convert fatty acids into sugars during seed germination by running the glyoxylate cycle.
