QuestionAnswer
A cell is the smallest unit that is capable of performing life functions according to what theory? Cell Theory
What made the observation and description of microscopic organisms and living cells possible? Magnifying lenses and light microscope
What is the basic unit of life? Cell
All living things are made of what? Cells
Cells come from pre-existing cells according to what theory? Cell Theory
Who invented the first microscope? Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
Who was the first to see bacteria and protists? Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
Who observed that cork has small rectangular boxes called cells? Robert Hooke
Who stated that all living things are made of cells? Theodor Schwann and Matthias Schleiden
Who said that all cells came from pre-existing cells? Rudolph Virchow
What microscope creates vivid 3D images by bouncing electrons off a gold-coated sample? Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
What microscope creates detailed images by bouncing electrons off a sliced sample? Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM)
Give an example of a cell. Amoeba Proteus
Give another example of a cell. Plant Stem
Give one more example of a cell. Bacteria
What are the two types of cells? Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
Which type of cell does not have structures and has few internal structures? Prokaryotic
Which type of cell contains organelles surrounded by membranes? Eukaryotic
What cell part controls movement in and out of the cell? Cell Membrane
What cell part supports and protects plant cells and bacteria? Cell Wall
What directs cell activities and contains genetic material? Nucleus
What surrounds the nucleus and has two layers with openings? Nuclear Membrane
What is made of DNA and contains instructions for the cell? Chromosomes
What contains RNA and builds proteins? Nucleolus
What is the gel-like material that contains hereditary material? Cytoplasm
What moves material around the cell? Endoplasmic Reticulum
What are the two types of Endoplasmic Reticulum? Smooth and Rough
What makes proteins and floats around in the cytoplasm? Ribosomes
What produces energy and breaks down fats and carbohydrates? Mitochondria
What packages and moves materials within the cell? Golgi Bodies
What transports undigested material to the cell membrane? Lysosomes
What are membrane-bound sacs that help plants maintain shape? Vacuoles
What contains green chlorophyll and does photosynthesis? Chloroplast
What process produces two or more daughter cells? Cell Division
Why do cells need to grow and mature before division? To ensure each daughter cell has what it needs to survive
What are the two stages of cellular reproduction? Cellular Growth and Maturation, and Cell Division
What is the repeated pattern of growth and division that occurs in eukaryotic cells? Cell Cycle
What type of cell division occurs in prokaryotic cells? Binary Fission
What phase of the cell cycle is where cells undergo most of their growth? G1 Phase
What happens during the S phase? Chromosomes are replicated
What happens during the G2 phase? Chromosomes condense and prepare for division
What percent of the cell cycle does interphase take up? Almost 90%
What takes up only 10% of the cell cycle? Mitosis and Cytokinesis
What happens during Prophase? Chromosomes become visible and the nuclear membrane breaks down
What forms from the centrioles during Prophase? Spindle fibers
What happens during Metaphase? Chromosomes line up across the cell’s equator
What attaches to each chromosome’s centromere during Metaphase? Spindle fibers
What happens during Anaphase? Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite sides
What is each chromatid considered after being pulled apart? A single chromosome
What happens during Telophase? Chromosomes uncoil and nuclear membranes reform
What happens to spindle fibers during Telophase? They disappear
What happens during Cytokinesis? Cytoplasm divides forming two identical daughter cells
What do the new cells have after Cytokinesis? The same number of chromosomes as the original cell
Why is it necessary for the cell to grow before cell division? To produce enough organelles and materials for daughter cells
What are the main events in the cell cycle? Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis
What characterizes the G1 phase of Interphase? Cell grows and duplicates organelles
What happens in the S phase of Interphase? DNA is replicated
What happens in the G2 phase of Interphase? Cell grows and prepares for mitosis

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.
