- 2. Shapes and supports the cell, the outer most layer

- 12. Storage areas of the cell that are known for storing mostly water and food
- 14. Converts starch into sugar when the cell needs energy quickly
Down
- 1. A structure inside of the nucleus where RNA is transcribed
- 3. This organelle is shaped like a bean and the cell and transports the food and manufacture energy from it, it commonly referred to as the power house of the cell
- 5. An egg shaped body that appears green from all the all the chlorophyll that the cell contains, this organelle is where photosynthesis takes place
- 7. The site of protein synthesis, where proteins are produced and stored
- 9. Plays and important role in cell division, otherwise known as mitosis
- 11. Controls molecules moving in and out of the cell
- 13. Compact, intertwined pieces of DNA found within the cell’s nucleus
