🗑
Cell wall   A rigid structure on the outside of certain cells, usually plant  
🗑
Cytoplasm   A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended  
🗑
Cytoplasmic streaming   The motion of cytoplasm in a cell that results in a coordinated movement of the cell's contents  
🗑
Mitochondria   The organelles in which nutrients are converted to energy  
🗑
Lysosome   The organelle in animal cells responsible for hydrolysis reactions that break down proteins, polysaccharides, disaccharides, and some lipids  
🗑
Ribosomes   Non-membrane-bounded organelles responsible for protein synthesis  
🗑
Endoplasmic reticulum   An organelle composed of an extensive network of folded membranes that performs several tasks within a cell  
🗑
Rough ER   ER that is dotted with ribosomes  
🗑
Smooth ER   ER that has no ribosomes  
🗑
Leucoplasts   Organelles that store starches or oils  
🗑
Chromoplasts   Organelles that contain pigments used in photosynthesis  
🗑
Central vacuole   A large vacuole that rests at the center of most plant cells and is filled with a solution that contains a high concentration of solutes  
🗑
Waste vacuoles   Vacuoles that contain the waste products of digestion  
🗑
Phagocytosis   The process by which a cell engulfs foreign substances or other cells  
🗑
Phagocytic vacuole   A vacuole that holds the matter which a cell engulfs  
🗑
Pinocytic vesicle   Vesicle formed at the plasma membrane to allow the absorption of large molecules  
🗑
Secretion vesicle   Vesicle that holds secretion products so that they can be transported to the plasma membrane and released  
🗑
Golgi bodies   The organelles where proteins and lipids are stored and then modified to suit the needs of the cell  
🗑
Microtubules   Spiral strands of protein molecules that form a tubelike structure  
🗑
Nuclear membrane   A highly-porous membrane that separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm  
🗑
Chromatin   Clusters of DNA, RNA, and proteins in the nucleus of a cell  
🗑
Cytoskeleton   A network of fibers that holds the cell together, helps the cell to keep its shape, and aids in movement  
🗑
Microfilaments   Fine, threadlike proteins found in the cell's cytoskeleton  
🗑
Intermediate filaments   Threadlike proteins in the cell's cytoskeleton that are roughly twice as thick as microfilaments  
🗑
Phospholipid   A lipid in which one of the fatty acid molecules has been replaced by a molecule that contains a phosphate group  
🗑
Passive transport   Movement of molecules through the plasma membrane according to the dictates of osmosis or diffusion  
🗑
Active transport   Movement of molecules through the plasma membrane (typically opposite the dictates of osmosis or diffusion) aided by a process that requires energy  
🗑
Isotonic solution   A solution in which the concentration of solutes is essentially equal to that of the cell which resides in the solution  
🗑
Hypertonic solution   A solution in which the concentration of solutes is greater than that of the cell that resides in the solution  
🗑
Plasmolysis   Collapse of a walled cell's cytoplasm due to a lack of water  
🗑
Cytolysis   The rupturing of a cell due to excess internal pressure  
🗑
Hypotonic solution   A solution in which the concentration of solutes is less than that of the cell that resides in the solution  
🗑
Activation energy   Energy necessary to get a chemical reaction going  
🗑


   

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.
