🗑
regulation of an organism's internal life-maintaining conditions despite changes in its environment   homeostasis  
🗑
theory that living things can come from nonliving things   spontaneous generation  
🗑
two-word naming system   binomial nomenclature  
🗑
a group of similar species   genus  
🗑
a group of similar organisms that share similar characteristics and can reproduce among themselves   species  
🗑
ridged structure that encloses, supports, and protects the cells of plants, algae, fungi, and most bacteria   cell wall  
🗑
protective outer covering of all cells that is made up of a double layer of fat-like molecules and regulates the interaction between the cell and the environment   cell membrane  
🗑
cell organelle that breaks down lipids and carbs and also releases energy   mitochondria  
🗑
small structures on which cells make their own proteins   ribosomes  
🗑
cytoplasmic organelle that moves materials around in a cell and is made up of a complex series of folded membranes   endoplasmic reticulum (ER)  
🗑
organelles that package cellular materials and transport them with in or out of the cell   Golgi Bodies  
🗑
break down food molecules, wastes, and worn out cell parts   lysosomes

extremely tiny piece of genetic material that infects and multiplies in host cells   virus  
🗑
energy-requiring process in which transport proteins bind with particles and move them through a cell membrane   active transport

a type of passive transport in cells in which molecules move from areas where there are many of them to areas where there are fewer of them   diffusion  
🗑
a type of passive transport; diffusion of water   osmosis

a many-celled organism; many are saprophytes and some are parasites   fungi  
🗑
any organism that is made up of a fungus and either a green algae or a cyanobacterium and both organisms benifit   lichen  
🗑


   

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.
