Molecules, Cells, & Molecules

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Two or more atoms bonded together   Molecule  
🗑
Pure substance containing identical molecules   Compounds  
🗑
Body's first choice for energy. Always made up of C, H, & O.   Carbohydrates  
🗑
Nutrients that do not dissolve in water. Mostly C & H with a pinch of O. Used for storing energy   Lipids (fats)  
🗑
Made out of building blocks called amino acids. There are 23 different amino acids. All proteins contain C, H, O, & N.   Protein  
🗑
Molecules that carry info that is used to make proteins.   Nucleic Acids  
🗑
Most common molecule in the body.   Water  
🗑
Contain mostly carbon made by living things   Organic Compounds  
🗑
A mixture that contains one or more chemicals that are dissolved   Solutions  
🗑
Something that dissolves other chemicals   Solvent  
🗑
Material that is being dissolved   Solute  
🗑
Solution with a greater osmotic pressure than what its compared with   Hypertonic  
🗑
Solution with less osmotic pressure than what its being compared with   Hypotonic  
🗑
Solutions with the same osmotic pressure   Isotonic  
🗑
A way of measuring the concentration of hydrogen ions. An aqueous solution.   pH  
🗑
Runs from 0 to 14. Neutral is exactly 7. 7 is the pH of pure water.   pH scale  
🗑
>7 more hydrogen   Acids  
🗑
<7 less hydrogen   Bases  
🗑
The basic unit of structure and function found in all living things.   Cells  
🗑
A cell that contains all of the parts that might be found in a real cell. This type of cell does not exist.   A composite cell.  
🗑
The barrier between fluid inside of the cell and the fluid outside of the cell.   The Cell Membrane.  
🗑
Makes the membrane flexible. (found between the tails)   Cholesterol  
🗑
Binding sights for sending chemical messages. They receive signals such as neurotransmitters and chemicals.   Receptors  
🗑
How things are moved around-they are very specific-they only allow certain things to go through.   Pores/Channels  
🗑
Used to move things into the cell-they change shape to carry something across.   Carriers  
🗑
Can go through the barrier. EX-lipids can go through the phospholipid bilayer.   Permeable  
🗑
Needs a carrier or channel to help it through the membrane   Impermeable  
🗑
Some things can cross and some things cannot pass through the membrane   Semipermeable (selectively permeable)  
🗑
Liquid between the cell membrane and the organelles (cell fluid)   The cytoplasm  
🗑
Structures found inside of the cell.   The organelles  
🗑
Smallest organelle in the cell. It's function is to make proteins.   Ribosomes  
🗑
A group of connective tubes used to move things around withing the cell.   Endoplasmic Reticulum.  
🗑
Packages things so it can get out of the cell through the membrane.   Golgi Apparatus.  
🗑
Changes one type of fuel to another.   Mitochondria  
🗑
Used to breakdown things a cell does not need. They use enzymes to break it down.   Lysosomes.  
🗑
A pair of organelles found near the nucleus. It's function is to help separate the genes during mitosis so each new cell gets a full set.   Centrioles.  
🗑
Moves something in a certain direction that is outside of the cell.   Cilia  
🗑
Moves the cell. Sperm cell is the only cell with this.   Flagellam.  
🗑
Pores in wall lets things in and out. It is the largest organelle you can see in a cell. Its function..controls which genese are going to be used by that cell. They control how often and when that gene will be used   Nucleus  
🗑
Darker part of the nucleus. It's function is to make ribosomes.   Nucleolus  
🗑
Where we find DNA in nucleus of cells that are not dividing. Its function allows the cell to use the genes   Chromatin  
🗑
23 pairs of bundled DNA. Found when a cell is dividing. Its function moving packages that allow us to sort the genes in the DNA.   Chromosomes.  
🗑
What our cells use for energy   ATP  
🗑
If it uses ATP for energy   Active Transport  
🗑
Does not use ATP for energy   Passive Transport  
🗑
Relies on random movement of dissolved molecules. (random movement of solutes from energy of high concentration to areas of low concentration. EX drop of food coloring in water   Diffusion  
🗑
Random movement of solutes from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Uses a protein to cross the cell membrane   Facilitated Diffusion  
🗑
Random movement of water from an area of low concentration of solute to areas of high concentration of solute across a semipermeable membrane.   Osmosis  
🗑
Relies on differences in pressure. This happens in every tissue in your body.   Filtration  
🗑
Found on nerve cells, muscle cells, and some cells in our kidneys.   Na/K pumps  
🗑
Takes things inside of the cell and packages them into vessicals   Endocytosis  
🗑
Takes in a liquid   Pinocytosis  
🗑
is endocytosis that takes in a solid   Phagocytosis  
🗑
Moving a vessical outside of a cell   Exocytosis  
🗑
When a stem cell changes into a specialized cell. When a set of cells choose a gene.   Differentiation  
🗑
Replication of DNA. When a cell does its job.   Interphase  
🗑
*adds set of centrioles *centrioles move to opposite sides   Prophase  
🗑
2 sets of centrioles at pole. Chromosomes at equator. Spindle fibers.   Metaphase  
🗑
Chromosomes are moved to opposite sides. Cell changes shape   Anaphase  
🗑
Starts to build a nucleus. Change DNA back to chromatin.   Telophase  
🗑
When a cell starts to pinch in half   Cytokinesis  
🗑
A rounded projection or tooth, as on the margin of a leaf.   Crenation  
🗑
The breaking down of red blood cells with liberation of hemoglobin.   Hemolysis  
🗑


   

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.
