Question
Answer
Cell   Basic unit of life  
🗑
Cell theory   Fundamental concept of biology that states- All living things are composed of cells, cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things and new cells are produced from existing cells.  
🗑
Nucleus   A large membrane-enclosed structure that contains the cells genetic material in form of DNA.  
🗑
Eukaryote   Cells that contain nuclei.  
🗑
Prokaryote   Cells that do not contain nuclei.  
🗑
Organelle   Cells that act as if they are specialized organisms.  
🗑
Cytoplasm   The portion of the cell outside the nucleus.  
🗑
Nuclear envelope   The cooating around cell that allows material to move in and out of the cell.  
🗑
Chromatin   The granular material seen in nucleus. Consist of DNA bound to protein.  
🗑
Chromosomes   The granular material seen in a nucleus.  
🗑
Nucleolus   The small, dense region in a nuclei.Where ribosomes begins.  
🗑
Ribosomes   Small particles of RNA and protein found throughout the cytoplasm. Produces protein by following coded instructions that came from the nucleus.  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum   The site where lipid components of the cell membrane are asssembled, along with proteins and other materials that are exported from the cell.  
🗑
Golgi Apparatus   The function of the golgi apparatus is to modify, sort, and package proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage in the cell or secretion outside the cell.  
🗑
Lysosomes   Small organelles filled with enzymes.Break down lipids.  
🗑
Vacuoles   Sacklike structures that store materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbs.  
🗑
Mitochondria   Organelles that convert the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use.  
🗑
Chloroplasts   Organelles that capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis.  
🗑
Cytoskeleton   Supporting structure that gives eukaryote cells their shape and internal organization.  
🗑
Centrioles   Located near the nucleus and organise cell division. Not found in plant cells.  
🗑
Cell Membrane   Sometimes called the plasma membrane because many cells in the body are in direct contact with the fluid portion of the blood-the plasma.  
🗑
Cell Wall   Strong supporting layer in a cell around the membrane.  
🗑
Lipid bilayer   The double layered sheet composition of nearly all cell membranes.  
🗑
Concentration   The mass solution in a given volume of sollution, or mass/volume.  
🗑
Diffusion   When particles move from a more concentrated area to a less conentrated area.  
🗑
Equilibrium   The concentration of a solute is the same througout a system it reaches equilbrium.  
🗑
Osmosis   The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.  
🗑
Isotonic   When solutions (water and sugar)will be same on both sides of membrane. Means "same strength"  
🗑
Hypertonic   The more concentrated sugar. "more strength"  
🗑
Hypotonic    
🗑


   

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.
