nucleus controls most of the cells ________ and contains the hereditary information ______   processes, DNA  
🗑
the granular material visible within the nucleus   chromatin  
🗑
when a cell divides, chromatin condenses to form ________   chromosomes  
🗑
distinct threadlike structures containing the genetic information that is passed from one generation of cells to the next   chromosomes  
🗑
small, dense region in the nucleus where the production of ribosomes begins   nucleolus  
🗑
the nucleus is surrounded by a double layer membrane layer called the_______, which is dotted with thousands of nuclear pores, which allow material to move into and out of the nucleus   nuclear envelope  
🗑
network of protein filaments that helps the cell to maintain its shape. Also involved in many forms of cell movement   cytoskeleton  
🗑
hollow tubes of protein about 25 nanometers in diameter that maintain cell shape and serve as tracks along which organelles are moved   microtubules  
🗑
long thin fibers that function in the movement and support of the cell.   microfiliments  
🗑
proteins are assembled on _________, small particles of RNA and protein   ribosomes  
🗑
produce proteins following coded instructions that come from the nucleus   ribosomes  
🗑
an internal membrane system eukaryotic cells contain   endoplasmic reticulum  
🗑
organelle in which components of the cell membrane are assembled and some proteins are modifies   endoplasmic reticulum  
🗑
part of the ER that is involved in the synthesis of proteins   rough ER  
🗑
part of the ER that contains collections of enzymes that perform specialized tasks such as the synthesis of lipids   smooth ER  
🗑
proteins produced by the rough ER move to a stack of membranes called the _____________   Golgi Apparatus  
🗑
enzymes in the _________ attach carbohydrates and lipids to proteins   golgi apparatus  
🗑
small organelles filled with enzymes that break down lipids carbohydrates and proteins from food into particles that can be used by the rest of the cell. they also break down organelles the have outlived their usefulness.   lysosomes  
🗑
perform the vital function of removing debris that might otherwise accumulate and clutter the cell   lysosomes  
🗑
cells often store materials such as water salts proteins and carbohydrates in saclike structures known as _______   vacuoles  
🗑
organelle that uses the energy from sunlight to make energy rich food molecules in a process known as photosynthesis   chloroplasts  
🗑
organelles that release energy from stored food molecules   mitochondria  
🗑
`________ use energy from food to make high energy compounds the the cell can use to power growth   mitochondria  
🗑
the ___________ regulates what enters and leaves the cell and also provided protection and support   cell membrane  
🗑
the core of nearly all cell membranes is a double layered sheet called a   lipid bilayer  
🗑
the __________ of a solution is the mass of solute in a given volume of solution   concentration  
🗑
the movement of molecules from and area of high concentration to an area of high concentration   diffusion  
🗑
______ causes many substances to move across a cell membrane but does not require the cell to use energy   diffusion  
🗑
most biological membranes are __________, meaning that some substances can pass across them and others cannot   selectively permeable  
🗑
a process that allows water molecules to pass easily through most biological membranes   osmosis  
🗑

🗑


   

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.
