1. The problem is to identify the animal cell organelles based on the clues given in the crossword puzzle. 2. The clues are: - Across 1: Contains the cell's genetic material - Across 4: The "directions" for building a life form - Across 12: Has digestion and waste removal functions - Down 2: Surrounds the cell, acts as a gate keeper - Down 6: Transports material within a cell - Down 7: ___________ reticulum: Makes, packages, and transports proteins and fats - Down 8: Processes proteins - Down 11: The "Powerhouse of the cell" - Down 13: Where proteins form 3. Using biological knowledge: - The cell's genetic material is contained in the Nucleus. - The "directions" for building a life form refer to DNA. - Digestion and waste removal functions are performed by Lysosomes. - The cell membrane surrounds the cell and acts as a gate keeper. - Transport within the cell is done by the Endoplasmic Reticulum. - The reticulum that makes, packages, and transports proteins and fats is the Endoplasmic Reticulum. - Proteins are processed in the Golgi Apparatus. - The powerhouse of the cell is the Mitochondria. - Proteins form in Ribosomes. 4. Therefore, the answers are: - 1 Across: Nucleus - 4 Across: DNA - 12 Across: Lysosome - 2 Down: Cell Membrane - 6 Down: Endoplasmic Reticulum - 7 Down: Endoplasmic Reticulum - 8 Down: Golgi Apparatus - 11 Down: Mitochondria - 13 Down: Ribosome This completes the identification of the organelles based on the clues.
