Biology: Crossword

Cilia

These are hair-like structures found on the outside of cells. When they vibrate back and forth quickly, they help a cell to move.

Bacteria

These organisms are made of Prokaryotic cells.

Cell Membrane

This both protects the cell and lets materials inside and outside of the cell.

Vacuole

This is a large, round sac found in the cytoplasm that stores waste, water, food, or other materials.

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

This is a network of passageways that proteins travel through to get to other parts of the cell. It does not have ribosomes.

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

This is a network of passageways that proteins travel through to get to other parts of the cell; it is covered with many ribosomes.

Lysosome

This is a round organelle that contains digestive enzymes that break down materials; it is the "garbage disposal" of the cell.

Animal Cell

This is a type of cell that does NOT have a cell wall.

Plant Cell

This is a type of cell that has a cell wall and chloroplasts, as well as a larger vacuole.

Flagellum

This is a whip-like tail that helps a cell to move.

DNA

This is stored in the cell nucleus.

Cell Nucleus

This is the control center for the cell.

Cytoplasm

This is the fluid of the cell. It provides space for the cells to occupy and move through.

Pseudopod

This is the movement structure utilized by amoebas. Hint: They reshape themselves to move.

ATP

This is the name of the energy structure made by mitochondria.

Photosynthesis

This is the name of the process that the chloroplasts in plant cells use to make energy from sunlight.

Prokaryote

This is the type of cell that a bacterium is made of.

Eukaryote

This is the type of cell that plants, animals, and fungi are made of.

Ribosome

This organelle makes proteins for the cell.

Golgi Apparatus

This organelle modifies and packages proteins.

Mitochondria

This organelle releases energy for the cell.

Chloroplast

This structure is only found in plant cells, and it converts energy from sunlight into sugars.

Cell wall

This structure is only found in plant cells, and it provides extra rigidity and support to the outside of the cell.

Organelle

This word literally means "little organ". It is a part of the cell.
