Question
Answer
Which cell process requires the use of energy to get substances across the cell membrane?   Active Transport  
🗑
Food is broken down to release energy without the use of oxygen   Fermentation (Anaerobic Respiration)  
🗑
The process by which one cell divides into two cells.   Cell Division  
🗑
What is the term used to describe an organism made up of cells that contain a nucleus?   Eukaryote (Eukaryotic Cells)  
🗑
What are the "tiny organs" or structures found inside of cell called?   Organelles  
🗑
What is the term used to describe an organism made up of a cell without a nucleus?   Prokaryote (Prokaryotic Cells)  
🗑
The process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy from food.   Cellular Respiration (Aerobic Respiration)  
🗑
The process by which particles move through the cell membrane from an area of higher to lower concentration.   Diffusion  
🗑
What is the name of the special process used by eukaryotic cells to prepare the cell's nucleus for cell division.   Mitosis  
🗑
A special type of diffusion that only deals with water.   Osmosis  
🗑
Who/What contributed to the development of the cell theory?   The discoveries made by many scientists (Hooke, van Leeuwenhoek, Schleiden, Schwann, Virchow) and the invention of the microscope.  
🗑
What are the 3 statements of the cell theory?   1.) All living things are made up of cell. 2.) Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things. 3.) All cells must come from pre-existing cells.  
🗑
Which cell organelle allows certain substances to enter and exit the cell?   Cell Membrane  
🗑
Which cell organelle allows certain substances to enter and exit the nucleus?   Nuclear Membrane  
🗑
What is the single unit of a chromosome called?   Gene  
🗑
Which cell organelle is responsible for making proteins?   Ribosomes  
🗑
Which cell organelle stores food, water and waste for the cell?   Vacuole  
🗑
What is the name of the jelly-like substance found inside of the cell and contains all of the organelles?   Cytoplasm  
🗑
Which organelle is only found in plant cells and used light energy to make food?   Chloroplast  
🗑
Which organelle is only found in animals cells and contains digestive juices to break down food, dead/injured cells?   Lysosomes  
🗑
This orgnelles is described as the "powerhouse" of the cell and is the site for cellular respiration   Mitochondria  
🗑
Which organelle is the internal delivery system for the cell?   ER  
🗑
This cell structure contains the genetic code (DNA) for making proteins.   Chromosomes  
🗑
All of the activities that a cell performs is controlled by this cell organelle.   Nucleus  
🗑
This cell structure is found in plant cells and is used for support and protection   Cell Wall  
🗑
What are some characteristics unique to a plant cell?   cell wall, chloroplast, rectangular in shape, has the ability to make its own food, large vacuole  
🗑
What are some characteristics unique to an animal cell?   circular in shape, few small vacuoles, cannot make its own food, lysosomes  
🗑
How are diffusion and osmosis alike?   Both do not require energy and deal with the movement of a substance from an area of high to low concentration.  
🗑
When does a cell use active transport to get things in or out of a cell?   Active transport is used when molecules are too large to fit and when moldecules go against the natural gradient by moving from an area of low to high concentration.  
🗑
How are active transport and diffusion different?   Active tranport requires energy and moves materials from low to high concentration. Diffusion does not require energy and moves materials from high to lower concentrations.  
🗑
How do eukaryotic cells reproduce?   1.) Cell Grows- copies organelles and chromosomes 2.) Mitosis 3.) Cell splits into 2 cells  
🗑
How does the "parent" cell compare to its' "daughter" cell?   The "daughter" cell has an exact copy of the parents (same number of chromosomes)  
🗑
What are a group of cells working together for a common function called?   Tissues  
🗑
Identify an example of an organ.   Heart  
🗑
A group of organ systems working together to complete a common function are called   Multicellular Organism  
🗑
Tissues working together for a common purpose are called   Organ  
🗑
Why is it benefical for cells to specialize?   More efficient  
🗑
What are the 3 benefits of being a multicellular organism?   1.) Large size 2.) Longer life span 3.) Cell Specialization  
🗑
Name of the 5 levels of organization from the simplest to the most complex   cell, tissue, organ, organ system, multicelluar organism  
🗑


   

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.
