Question

directions: find all the hidden words in the puzzle above that are defined in the table below. description the basic structural and functional unit of living things. the structure that encloses the contents of the cell and controls what enters and leaves the cell. a rigid exterior of plant cells that is made primarily of cellulose. the jelly - like substance that fills the cell and holds the organelles in position. the control center of the cell, contains dna. a specialized subunit of a cell that has a specific function. the organelle in which protein synthesis takes place. a series of flattened sacs that is responsible for the production and transportation of proteins and lipids. an organelle that is responsible for processing and packaging proteins. digestive sacs that can break down excess or worn - out cellular substances. power plants of cells where energy (atp) is produced. an organelle that is responsible for the temporary storage of nutrients, water, and waste. it is larger in plant cells. the organelle in which photosynthesis takes place.

Explanation:

1. The basic structural and functional unit of living things is the cell.
2. The structure that encloses the contents of the cell and controls what enters and leaves the cell is the cell - membrane.
3. The jelly - like substance that fills the cell and holds the organelles in position is the cytoplasm.
4. The control center of the cell, which contains DNA, is the nucleus.
5. A specialized subunit of a cell that has a specific function is an organelle.
6. A series of flattened sacs that is responsible for the production and transportation of proteins and lipids is the endoplasmic reticulum.
7. An organelle that is responsible for processing and packaging proteins is the Golgi apparatus.
8. Digestive sacs that can break down excess or worn - out cellular substances are lysosomes.
9. Power plants of cells where energy (ATP) is produced are mitochondria.
10. An organelle that is responsible for the temporary storage of nutrients, water, and waste, and is larger in plant cells is the vacuole.
11. The organelle in which photosynthesis takes place is the chloroplast.
12. A rigid exterior of plant cells that is made primarily of cellulose is the cell - wall.

Answer:

Cell, Cell - membrane, Cytoplasm, Nucleus, Organelle, Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, Lysosomes, Mitochondria, Vacuole, Chloroplast, Cell - wall
