Structure
Cell membrane   regulates what enters and leaves the cell, gives shape to the cell   bilayer of phopholipids and embedded proteins  
🗑
cell wall   found in plants. Gives the cell shape and helps to protect the cell from bursting due to turgor pressure   made of cellulose fiber (a carbohydrate)  
🗑
cytoplasm   site of many chemical reactions, such as glycolysis. Other organelles are suspended in the cytoplasm   salt, water, organic molecules. Appears like a watery jelly  
🗑
cytoskeleton   Supports the cell, Plays a role in cell movement.   Composed of microtubules and microfilaments. Both are made of protein.  
🗑
centrioles   Help to organize mitosis. visilbe only during mitosis. Found in animal cells.   made of microtubules  
🗑
Nucleus   Directs all cellular activiites by controlling the production of proteins.   Surrounded by the nuclear membrane. Contains DNA and the nucleoulus.  
🗑
Nuclear Membrane (nuclear envelope)   Regulates what enters and leaves the nucleus.   Bilayer of phospholipids and embedded proteins. Has holes callled nuclear pores.  
🗑
Nucleolus   Site of initial ribosome production. Ribosomes are completed in the cytoplasm.   Small dark region of the nucleus  
🗑
Ribosome   Assemble proteins   Composed of rRNA and many proteins  
🗑
Golgi   Packages proteins for transport through the cytoplasm. The package is called a vesicle.   A stack of flat sacks, made of membrane. Proteins are wrapped in the membrane and are pinched off into vesicles.  
🗑
SER (Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum.   Transports materials.   A system of tunnels, made of membrane  
🗑
RER   Studded with ribosomes, transports proteins.   A system of flattened sacks and tunnels, composed of membrane. Ribosomes are attached.  
🗑
Storage Vacuole   Found in plants. A very large vacuole for the storage of water and water soluble nutrients.   A big bag of membrane.  
🗑
Vesicle   Transports material inside of the cell. Protects material from chemical reactions in the cytoplasm.   A bag of membrane. Commonly formed by the golgi.  
🗑
Vacuole   A large vesicle; storage and transport of materials.   A bag of membarane. Commonly formed by the golgi  
🗑
Lysosome   A vesicle containing digestive enzymes. Empties it's enzymes into other vacuoles and vesicles carrying material to be digested (hydrolyzed).   A membrane bag of digestive enzymes.  
🗑
Mitochondria   Site of aerobic respiration.   Composed of two layers of membrane. The inner layer has folds called cristae. Mitochondria contain their own DNA.  
🗑
Chloroplast   Site of photosynthesis.   Composed of two layers of membranes. Has stacks of internal membranes called thylakoids. Chloroplast have their own DNA.  
🗑
Cilia   Propulsion. Used like an oar.   Thin, hairlike. Made of microtubules.  
🗑
Chromosomes   Contain genes; hereditary material;   made of DNA  
🗑
microfilaments   stores food (carbonhydrates) and pigments (proteins) in plant cells   (blank)  
🗑
flagella   propulsion. used like an oar   Thicker, longer, made of microtubles.  
🗑
microtubules   used for stucture and movement   small, tubular proteins  
🗑
organelle   a specialized cellular part (as mitochondrion) that is anlogous to an organ   (blank)  
🗑
plastid   any of various cytoplasmic organelles of phosynthetic cells that serve in many cases as centers of special metabolic activiites   (blank)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
