Cell Structure & Function

Across
In eukaryotic cells, the spindle fibers pull the sister chromatids to opposite ends of the cell.
The clear, gel-like fluid that holds a cell's internal structure.
The part of the cell that contains the genetic code (DNA). It is surrounded by its own membrane and is found only in eukaryotic cells.
A cell that contains a nucleus
The splitting of the cytoplasm during the last phase of mitosis.
A membrane network within the cytoplasm of cells involved in the synthesis, modification, and transport of cellular materials. (sugars, proteins, lipids)
A chlorophyll-containing organelle found in algal and green plant cells.
In eukaryotic cells, it is the beginning phase of mitosis where the chromosomes condense and the nuclear membrane disappears.
A principle that describes the cell as the fundamental unit of all living organisms.
Abnormal cell growth caused by UNCONTROLLED cell division.
In eukaryotic cells, it is the phase in mitosis when the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
Down
A vesicle in which water, nutrients, food, and other materials are stored.
A nucleic acid that carries the genetic information in the cell and is capable of self-replication and synthesis of RNA.

A cell with no nucleus (bacteria).
One of two cylindrical cellular structures that are composed of nine triplet microtubules and form the asters during mitosis.
Small particles found free floating or attached to Rough ER whose function is to create new proteins from mRNA.
A complex of parallel, flattened sacs, vesicles, and vacuoles that lies adjacent to the nucleus of a cell and is concerned with packaging and delivering new cellular molecules (sugars, proteins, lipids).

The rigid outermost cell layer found in plants and certain algae, bacteria, and fungi but usually absent from animal cells.
The organelle that digests food particles, wastes, cells parts, and foreign invaders.
The smallest structural unit of an organism that is capable of independent functioning, consisting of one or more nuclei, cytoplasm, and various organelles, all surrounded by a semipermeable cell membrnae.
