🗑
cytoplasm   the region of the cell that is within the plasma membrane  
🗑
nucleus   membrane-bound structure; contains a cell's DNA  
🗑
prokaryotes   organisms that lack a membrane-bound nucleus and membrane-bound organelles  
🗑
eukaryotes   organisms made up of one or more cells that have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles  
🗑
organelles   well-defined, intracellular bodies that perform  
🗑
tissue   a group of similar cells and their products that carry out a specific function  
🗑
organ system   a group of organs that accomplish related tasks  
🗑
phospholipid bilayer   double layer  
🗑
chromosomes   structures in nucleus that make DNA an protein  
🗑
nuclear envelope   made up of two phospholopid bilayers  
🗑
nucleolus   the site in which DNA is concentrated when it is in the process of making ribosomal RNA  
🗑
Ribosomes   organelles made of protein and RNA that direct protein synthesis in the cytoplasm  
🗑
mitochondria   are tiny organelles that transfer engergy from organic molecules to adenosine triphosphate  
🗑
endoplasmic reticulum   is a system of membranous tubs and sacs  
🗑
golgi apparatus   another system of flattened, membranous sacs  
🗑
lysosomes   vesicles that bud from the Golgi apparatus and that contain digestive enzymes  
🗑
cytoskeleton   a network of thin tubes and filaments that crisscrosses the cytosol  
🗑
microtubules   hollow tubesmade of a protein called tubulin  
🗑
microfilaments   long threads of the beadlike protein actin and are linked end to end and wrapped around each other like two strand of a rope  
🗑
cilia   a hairlike structure arranged in tightly packed rows that projects fro mthe surgace of some cells  
🗑
flagella   a long, hairlike structure that grows out of a cell and enables the cell to move  
🗑
centrioles   an organelle that is composed of two short microtubules at right angles to each other and that has an active site role in mitosis  
🗑
cell wall   a rigid layer that lies outsie the cell's plasma membrane  
🗑
central vacuole   a large, fluid-filled organellethat stores not only water but also enzymes  
🗑
plastids   organelles that are surrounded by a double membrane and contain their won DNA  
🗑
thylakoids   a system of flattened, membranous sacs  
🗑

🗑
chloroplasts   plastids that contain colorful pigments  
🗑


   

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.
