Cell quiz practice

QuestionAnswer
Prokaryote An organism made of a single cell; arose 2.5 billion years ago
Eukaryote Made of one or more cells; arose 1 billion years later than the 1st prokaryote
Three Main Functions In A Prokaryotic Cell Cytoplasm, Ribosomes, No Nucleus
Describe the structures that form the outside of a Prokaryotic cell; tell whether it is common to all Prokaryotic cells. All have a: Cell Membrane, Cell Wall Some have a: Capsule
Cell Wall: Structure and Function Structure: tough rigid outer covering Function: protects a plant cell and helps maintain shape
Cell Membrane: Structure and Function Structure: thin layer of lipids and proteins Function: seperates the cell's contents from its environment
Cytoplasm: Structure and Function Structure: semi-fluid substance made primarily of water and organic compounds; looks like jello Function: Organelles are suspended in the cytoplasm
Nucleus: Structure and Function Structure: circular structure surrounded by nuclear membrane Function: houses genetic material; chromosomes
Nucleolus: Structure and Function Structure: another identifying structure of the nucleus; inside the nucleus Function: area of ribosome formation
Ribosome: Structure and Function Structure: small circular organelle found in the cytoplasm Function: makes protein needed by cells
Endoplasmic Reticulum(ER): Structure and Function Structure: extensive network of membrane contents to the nuclear membrane; SER smooth, RER rough Function: produces materials for the cell, transports materials throughout the cell
Golgi Apparatus: Structure and Function Structure: a series of flat, membrane bound sacs Function: molecules are sorted, often modified, packaged, and distributed to their destination
Mitochondria(Mitochondrion): Structure and Function Structure: bean/pill/bread shaped located in the cytoplasm Function: change the energy stored in food into compounds that are useful to cells (ATP used for humans)
Lysosome: Structure and Function Structure: sac like organelle that contains digestive enzymes Function: help break down larger molecules
Vacuole: Structure and Function Structure: membrane bound compartment (large for plant cells) Function: absorbs water, stores proteins, ions, and the waste products of the metabolism
Cilia: Structure and Function Structure: short hair like projections in large numbers on the surface of a cell Function: movement; transportation of materials
Flagella: Structure and Function Structure: are long tail like projections; usually 1, sometimes 2 Function: movement
Chloroplast: Structure and Function Structure: circular structure in plant cells Function: enables plants to make sugars through photosynthesis
Plant Cell Chloroplasts, Cell wall, Large central vacuole
Animal Cell Lysosomes, centrioles, cillia/flagella
What cell is the "powerhouse?" Mitochondria
What cell is strong and stiff and is only in plants? Cell Wall
What cell had DNA? Chromosomes
What cell is the "brain" of the cell? Nucleus
What cell uses the suns energy and is only in plant cells? Chloroplast
What cell transports proteins? Endoplasmic Reticulum
What cell is flexible and thin? Cell Membrane
What cell makes proteins? Ribosome
What cell is called a "storage tank?" Vacuole
What cell can digest an injured cell and brake down large molecules? Lysosome

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
