🗑
|
||||
ribosomes | non-membrane-bound organelles; function in protein synthesis
🗑

flagella | occur singly or in small groups; aid in mobility
🗑
|

vacuole | a membrane-bound sac that contains food, water, wastes, or other materials
🗑
|
||||
vesicle | a small vacuole
🗑
|

optimal point | the temperature at which a cell functions best
🗑
|

limit of tolerance | the point outside of the optimal range where a cell dies
🗑
|
||||
isotonic solution | condition where the concentration of solutes outside the cell is the same as the concentration inside the cell
🗑
|
||||
hypotonic solution | condition where the water concentration is higher and the solute concentration is lower in the solution than inside the cell; causes cytolysis
🗑
|
||||
hypertonic solution | condition where the ratio of solutes to water is higher in the solution than inside the cell; causes plasmolysis in plants and shrinking of red blood cells
🗑

🗑
|
||||
active transport | movement against concentration gradient; energy required; membrane protein required for transport
🗑
|
||||
cytolysis | the bursting of cells
🗑
|
||||
plasmolysis | the process where a plant cell loses too much water by osmosis and the plasma membrane pulls away from the cell wall
🗑

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.
