2. organelle that can convert energy stored in food to energy the cell can use to live and function
3. the process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
6. the process by which cells capture energy from the sun and use it to make food
7. organelle that receives and other newly formed materials from the ER, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cells or outside of the cell
12. a tiny structure that carries out a specific function within the cell
16. an organelle with a network of membranes that processes multiple substances
18. fills the region between the cell membrane and the nucleus

1. allows large particles to leave a cell
4. the diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane
5. the green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants
8. an organelle in the plant cells that capture energy from sunlight and changes it to an energy form that cells can use in making food.
9. the rigid supporting layer that surrounds plant cells for support and protection
10. organisms that have to feed off of other organisms to make energy
11. the cell membrane takes particles into the cell by changing shape and engulfing the particles
13. is a thin, flexible barrier that surrounds a cell and controls which substances pass into and out of a cell
14. a large oval organelle that contains the cell’s genetic material in form of DNA and controls many of the cell’s activities
15. is a widely accepted explanation of the relationship between cells and living things
17. organisms that can produce their own food
