Question
Answer
organelle   one of the small bodies that are found in the cutoplasm of a cell and that are specialized to perform a specific function  
🗑
nucleus   in physical science, an atom's central region which is made up of protons and neutrons  
🗑
eukaryote   an organism made up of cells that have a nucleus enclosed by a membrane multiple chromosomes and a mitotic cycle; eukaryotes include animals, plants and fungi, but not bacteria or archara.  
🗑
prokaryote   An organism lacking a nucleus and other membrane-bounded compartments.  
🗑
cells are limited in size by the   rate at which substances eneded by the cell can enter the cell through its surface  
🗑
the diameter of most plant and animal cells is about   10 to 50 um  
🗑
the characterisitic of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerve impulses is its   long extensions  
🗑
one difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells is that only   eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles.  
🗑
two features of ekaryotic cells that prokaryotic cells lack   membrane-bound nucleus and membrane-bound organelles  
🗑
how is the shape of a skin cell suited to its function?   its flat and plate like, and covers and protects the surgace of the body.  
🗑
cell   in biology, the smallest unit that can perform all life processes; cells are covered by a membrane and contain DNA and cytoplasm.  
🗑
cell theory   the theory that states that all living things are made up of one or more cells, that cells are the basic units of structure and function in an organism, and cells come only from the reproduction of existing cells.  
🗑
Early piece of evidence that supports cell theory   cells come from other cells  
🗑
the scientist who described cells as "many little boxes" was   Robert Hooke  
🗑
Living and nonliving things are different in that only   living things are made of cells.  
🗑
microscopes were used to study cells beginning in the   17th century  
🗑
the advantage of van Leeuwen hoek's microscopes was that   the lenses were ground very precisely  
🗑
a light microscope uses optical lenses to magnify objects by   bending light rays  
🗑
Anton Van Leeuwen Hoek   1680'- pond water, "Wee beesties"  
🗑
Henry Dustrochet   1824-All living things made of cells  
🗑
Robert Brown   1831- round body in plant cell "nucleus"  
🗑
Matthias Schleiden   1839- plants made of cells  
🗑
Johannes Purkinje   1841- Jellylike material "protoplasm"  
🗑
Rudolph Virchow   1855- cells from cells (cell division)  
🗑
Max Schultze   1861- protoplasm "Physical basis of Life" in all cells.  
🗑
Felix Dujardin   1861- recognized exsistence of one-celled organisms  
🗑
Cell Diversity   cells function influences its physical features  
🗑
Nerve   long extensions send receive impulses  
🗑
skin   flat, plate like  
🗑
plant   rectangular  
🗑
bacteria   rod shape  
🗑
egg   spherical  
🗑
prokaryotic cells(size)   1-10 micrometers in diameter  
🗑
Eukaryotic cells(size)   10-100 micro-meters diameter  
🗑


   

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.
