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.
