Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Term
Definition
Cell Wall   The outer covering of plant and bacteria cells. Made of cellulose. It gives strength and support to the cell. It stops a plant's cell membrane from tearing when a plant is watered. It gives strength to trees.  
🗑
Vesicle   Membrane covered compartment. Acts as a container. Encloses food particles. Wastes may be stored in these. (like a bubble)  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum-ER   This organelle consists of tubes that move proteins around the cell. The organelle helps break down drugs and other substances that could harm the cell. Ribosomes are often attached to this organelle.  
🗑
Golgi Complex   This organelle acts as a packaging center that wraps proteins in membranes to be shipped out of the cell. Found near the cell membrane. Makes lysosomes.  
🗑
Mitochondria   This bean-shaped organelle is known as the "powerhouse" of the cell. Makes food particles into ATP using oxygen and water. Gives off CO2 as waste. Highly active cells, like the heart, have many of these.  
🗑
Vacuoles   This organelle in plant cells can hold water to be used in photsynthesis. Plant cells wiltwhen this organelle is empty. The juice found in fruits is the fluid in the organelle.  
🗑
Chloroplasts   This organelle is only found in plant cells. It converts sunlight into sugar using CO2 and water. It gives off oxygen as a waste product. It contains a chemical called "chlorophyll" that turns green when sunlight hits it. Looks like stacks of coins.  
🗑
Lysosomes   This organelle acts like the "police force" of the cell. It is filled with an enzyme that can break things apart. It destroys worn-out cells. They also have the job of breaking down food particles to be used in the mitochondria for energy.  
🗑
Cytoplasm   jelly-like fluid inside of all cells, consists of about 70% water.  
🗑
Cell   A membrane covered structure that contains all of the materials necessary for life.  
🗑
Nucleus   A membrane covered organelle in eukaryotic cells that has DNA inside. The genetic material that controls the cell. The information tells how to make proteins. The largest most visible organelle in the cell. The word means "kernel" or "nut". It stores DNA.  
🗑
Organelles   The structures inside cells. Allow the cell to live, grow, and reproduce.  
🗑
Cytoskeleton   A web of proteins inside the cytoplasm. Acts as a muscle and a skeleton. Helps keep the cell from collapsing.  
🗑
Cell Membrane   Outer covering of the cell. Seperates the inside from the outside of the cell. Holds the cytoplasm inside the cell. Allows food and nutrients in, and waste out.  
🗑
DNA   The information to make proteins. The genetic instructions that give us our traits.  
🗑
Nucleolus   Dark spot in the nucleus of the cell. Stores materials needed to make ribosomes. The cell begins to make ribosomes here which will take information from the DNA.  
🗑
Ribosomes   Found in all cells. The tiniest organelle and the most abundant. Each cell has thousands of ribosomes. Makes and is made of proteins.  
🗑


   

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.
