Across
- 2. a small grain-like structure in the cytoplasm of a cell where proteins are made
- 4. energy-rich organic compound,such as fat, oil, or wax thatis made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
- 9. a cell structure that forms passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried through the cell
- 14. a tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within a cell
- 15. any substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances
- 16. a sac inside a cell that acts as a strong area
- 17. a protein that speeds up chemical reactions in a living thing
- 19. an energy-rich organic compound made of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
- 20. acid a small molecule that is linked chemically to other amino acids to form proteins
Down
- 1. a protein "framework"inside a cell that gives the cell shape
- 3. a rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms
- 5. large organic molecule made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur
- 6. a structure in the cells of plants and some other organisms that captures energy from sunlight
- 7. the outside cell boundary that controls which substances can enter or leave the cell
- 8. the control center of a eukaryotic cell that directs the cells activities
- 10. a small, round cell structure containing chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones
- 11. rod-shaped cell structures that convert energy in food molecules to energy the cell can use to carry out its functions
- 12. the material within a cell apart from the nucleus
- 13. two or more elements that are chemically combined
- 18. a structure in a cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them and distributes them
