Intro to the Cell

Across
These participate in a number of processes such as neurotransmitter transport and biosynthesis. It is thought that they play a key role in enabling life on Earth and its emergence.
The largest structure in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. It is best known as the site of ribosome biogenesis. It also participates in the formation of signal recognition particles and plays a role in the cell's response to stress.
Large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residues.
The first acknowledged microscopist and microbiologist in history microscopic discovery of microorganisms
Ribonucleic acid
A cell's information center, the most conspicuous organelle found in a eukaryotic cell.
Microscope that uses a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination. As the wavelength of an electron can be up to 100,000 times shorter than that of visible light photons, electron microscopes have a higher resolving power than light microscopes and can reveal the structure of smaller objects
The adjustable portion of a microscope used for bringing objects into focus

single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus, and other membrane-bound organelles.

Acts to protect the cell mechanically and chemically from its environment and is an additional layer of protection to the cell membrane.
