 Cell Organelles: Click on “Plant/ Animal” underneath Interactive Cell
Models to find the following answers.

ACROSS
3. means water-fearing hydrophobic
4. cytosol and the organelles suspended within the cytosol make up this.. cytoplasm
chloroplast
8. thylakoids are inside this organelle
lysosomes
9. rare in plant cells but common in animal cells
10. ribosomes make (or synthesize) this
protein
DOWN
ribosomes
1. rough ER has these on its surface
mitochondria
2. provide energy for cells to move, divide, etc.
nucleus
5. communicates with surrounding environment via nuclear pores
centriole
6. ring of 9 groups of microtubules
7. this produces ribosomes
nucleolus
