Term
Definition
Cell   Basic units of life  
🗑
Cell Theory   A fundamental concept of biology.  
🗑
Cell Membrane   A thin flexible barrier surrounding a cell  
🗑
Nucleus   A large membrane enclosed structure that contains genetic material in the form of DNA and control's many of the cell's activities  
🗑
Eukaryote   Cells that enclose their DNA in nuclei.  
🗑
Prokaryote   Cells that do not enclose DNA in nuclei.  
🗑
Cytoplasm   the portion of the cell outside the nucleus  
🗑
Organelle   literally "little organs"  
🗑
Vacuole   Large, saclike, membrane-enclosed structures in cells  
🗑
Lysosome    
🗑
Cytoskeleton   Eukaryotic cells are given their shape and internal organization by this network of protein filaments  
🗑
Centriole   Located in the nucleus and help organize cell division.  
🗑
Ribosome   are small particles of RNA and protein found throughout the cytoplasm in all cells  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum   or ER, they are found in Eukaryotic cells and are internal membrane system.  
🗑
Golgi Apparatus   A stack of flattened membranes.  
🗑
Chloroplast   Capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into food that contains chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis  
🗑
Mitochondrion   Convert the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use.  
🗑
Cell Wall   A strong supporting layer around the membrane  
🗑
Lipid Bilayer   gives cell membranes a flexible structure that forms a strong barrier between the cell and its surroundings.  
🗑
Selectively Permeable   Biological membranes can have some substances can pass across them and others cannot.  
🗑
diffusion   the driving force behind the movement of may substances across the cell membrane.  
🗑
facilitated diffusion   process in which molecules cannot directly diffuse across the membrane and pass through a special protein channels.  
🗑
aquaporin   Water channel proteins  
🗑
osmosis   the diffusion of water through selectively permeable membranes.  
🗑
isotonic    
🗑
hypertonic    
🗑
hypotonic    
🗑
osmotic pressure   The movement of water out of or into a cell produces this force.  
🗑
homeostasis   Relatively constant internal physical and chemical conditions  
🗑
tissue   a group of similar cells that preform a particular function.  
🗑
Organ   When many groups of tissues work together  
🗑
Organ System   A group of organs that work together to specialize tasks.  
🗑
Receptor   To respond to a chemical signal, a cell must have this to which the signaling molecule can bind.  
🗑


   

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.
