Question
Answer
cytoplasm   living matter contained in each cell  
🗑
centrioles   paired organelles - function in cell reproduction  
🗑
lysosomes   protect cell - digestive enzymes - eat microbes  
🗑
microvilli   fingerlike projections - increase absorptive area of cell  
🗑
flagella   single whiplike projection - (sperm cells) used for movement  
🗑
mitochondria   involved in energy-releasing chemical reactions Power plant of cell - contains 1 DNA molecule  
🗑
Golgi apparatus   flattened sacs near nucleus. Chemical processing and packaging. Collect and move chemicals from endoplasmic reticulum outward to plasma membrane  
🗑
Cell nucleus   controls all cell functions - contains DNA Components: Nuclear envelope; nucleoplasm; nucleolus; chromatin granules.  
🗑
Plasma membrane   outer boundary of cell composed of phospholipids containing protein. Selectively permeable.  
🗑
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)   Network of connecting sacs and canals. Carry substances through fluid cytoplasm.  
🗑
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum   Synthesizes chemicals. Makes new membrane.  
🗑
Rough endoplasmic reticulum   Collects, folds and transports proteins made by ribosomes.  
🗑
diffusion   substances scatter themselves evenly in available space. No energy needed for this process. Movement is from high to low concentration. Examples: Osmosis and dialysis.  
🗑
Filtration   Movement of water and solutes caused by hydrostatic pressure on one side of membrane. (urine formation)  
🗑
element   A pure substance - composed of only one atom  
🗑
compound   substance made up of more than 1 element  
🗑
matter   anything that has substance and occupies space and has mass  
🗑
Positively charged particles within atomic nucleus   protons  
🗑
Negatively charged particles within atomic nucleus   neutrons  
🗑
covalent bond   occurs when atoms share electrons  
🗑
collagen is a...   protein  
🗑
glycogen is a...   carbohydrate  
🗑
RNA is   nucleic acid  
🗑
cholesterol is a...   lipid  
🗑
NaCl is a...   salt  
🗑
HCl is a...   acid  
🗑
NaOH is   base  
🗑
H2O + CO2 --> H+ + HCO2- (which compound is a reactant?)   CO2  
🗑
Solution with an excess of hydrogen ions is   acid  
🗑
pinocytosis   cell transport mechanism incorporates fluid or dissolved substances, trapping them in a plasma membrane pocket, pinches them off inside the cell. Pino a Greek word meaning "drink".  
🗑
ATP   adenosine triphosphate - molecule that breaks apart in muscle cells to yield energy for muscle contraction.  
🗑
Osmosis   diffusion of water BUT not solutes (substances dissolved in water) across a selectively permeable membrane.  
🗑
tonicity   Describes different concentrations of solutes interacting with solvents or other solutes.  
🗑
Diffusion   Passive transport mechanism.  
🗑
Osmosis   passive transport mechanism  
🗑
Dialysis   passive transport mechanism  
🗑
Filtration   passive transport mechanism  
🗑
ion pump   active transport mechanism  
🗑
phagocytosis   active transport mechanism  
🗑
cystic fibrosis   disease caused by inability of cells to transport chloride ions  
🗑
translation   the process in protein synthesis that uses information in mRNA to build a protein molecule  
🗑
transcription   the process in protein synthesis that forms the mRNA molecule  
🗑
Name the 4 main tissues of the body   epithelial, connective, muscular, nervous  
🗑
gene   a segment of base pairs in a chromosome  
🗑
genome   the total genetic information packaged in a cell  
🗑
endoplasmic reticulum   tubelike passages that carry substances throughout the cell  
🗑
Golgi apparatus   chemically processes and packages substances from the endoplasmic reticulum  
🗑
prophase   2nd stage of mitosis wherein chromatin condenses into chromosomes  
🗑
telophase   5th stage of mitosis in which the nuclear envelope and nuclei appears  
🗑
metaphase   3rd sage of mitosis in which the chromosomes align in the center of the cell.  
🗑
anaphase   4th stage of mitosis in which the chromosomes move away from the center of the cell.  
🗑
interphase   the period of cell life in which DNA replicates in preparation for mitosis.  
🗑


   

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.
