Question
Answer
this Cell has long extensions allow these cells to quickly transmit electrical impulses from one part of the body to another   Nerve Cells  
🗑
this cell is Elongated, thread-like fibers can shorten to allow body parts to move.   Muscle cells  
🗑
this cell is a concave shape that allows these cells to bend and squeeze through tiny blood vessels   Red Blood Cells  
🗑
these cells have intracellular sacs that store and release substances, such as hormones, enzymes, mucus, and sweat   Gland Cells  
🗑
these cells can recognize and destroy foreign invaders (such as viruses, fungi, and bacteria)   Immune Cells  
🗑
the boundary of the cell is called   Plasma Membrane  
🗑
regulates the passage of substances into and out of the cell   Plasma Membrane  
🗑
when only some substances can come through and other can not is called   Selective Permeability  
🗑
A double-Layered membrane that surrounds the nucleus is called   Nuclear Envelope  
🗑
These perforate the nuclear envelope   Nuclear Pores  
🗑
this regulates the passage of molecules into the nucleus as well as out of the nucleus.   Nuclear Pores  
🗑
thread-like structures composed of DNA and protein are called   Chromatin  
🗑
when a cell begins to divide, the chromatin coils tightly into short, rod-like structures called   Chromosomes  
🗑
the center of the nucleus is called the   Nucleolus  
🗑
the Cells protein-producing structures   Ribosomes  
🗑
a gel-like substance that fills the space between the plasma membrane and nucleus   Cytoplasm  
🗑
Packed into the cytoplasm are hundreds, or even thousands of "little organs" called   Organelles  
🗑
Extending thoughout the cytoplasm, from the plasma membrane to the nucleus, is a network of membranous canals and curving sacs called the   Endoplasmic Reticulum  
🗑
every cell contains thousands of granules of protein and RNA called   Ribosomes  
🗑
made of flattened membranous sacs stacked one on top of another is called   Golgi Apparatus  
🗑
receives proteins from the ER and prepares the packages from them for export to other parts of the body   Golgi Apparatus  
🗑
these lie perpendicular to each other just outside the nucleus   Centrioles  
🗑
membranous vesicles that form from pinched-off pieces of the Golgi Apparatus   Lysosomes  
🗑
these contain various enzymes that help brake down protein the cell doesn't need   Lysosomes  
🗑
Sausage-shaped organelles that function as the cells "powerhouse"   Mitochondria  
🗑
the inner membrane folds back and forth across its interior; these folds are called   Cristae  
🗑
the supporting frame of the cell   Cytoskeleton  
🗑
folds of the cell membrane that greatly increase the surface area of the cell   Microvilli  
🗑
hair-like processes along the surface of a cell   Cilia  
🗑
these help move the cell   Flagella  
🗑
mechanisms that move substances in and out of the cell   Passive transport  
🗑
involves the movement of particle from an area of HIGHER concentration to an area of LOWER concentration   Diffusion  
🗑
the point which no further diffusion occurs is called   Equilibrium  
🗑
when particles are EQUALY distributed   Equilibrium  
🗑
A difference in concentration of a substance from one point to another is called   Concentration Gradient  
🗑
A type of diffusion, that involves the diffusion of water down the concentration gradient thorough a selectivity permeable membrane   Osmosis  
🗑
Water pressure that develops in a solution as a result of osmosis is called   Osmotic Pressure  
🗑
a solution where the concentration of solutes is the same as it is in the cell is called   isotonic  
🗑
a solution where it contains a HIGHER concentration of solutes compared to the fluid within a cell   Hypertonic  
🗑
A solution where it contains a LOWER concentration of solutes compared to the fluid within a cell   Hypotonic  
🗑
process in which water and dissolved particles are forced across the membrane from an area of higher to lower hydrostatic pressure   Filtration  
🗑
Solutes move up the concentration gradient is called   Active Transport  
🗑
this crucial pump regulates the volume of fluid within cells, provides the electrical potential necessary for nervous system activity, and helps in heat production   Sodium-potassium pump  
🗑
the form of vesicular transport that brings substances into the cell   Endocytosis  
🗑
When a cell engulfs a solid particle and brings it into a cell   Phagocytosis  
🗑
when tiny vacuoles bring droplets of extracellular fluid containing dissolved substances into the cell   Pinocytosis  
🗑
this uses vesicles to release substances outside of the cell   Exocytosis  
🗑
particles move from high to low concentration with the help of a channel protein that's part of the plasma membrane   Facilitated Diffusion  
🗑
DNA stands for   Deoxyribonucleic Acid  
🗑
the Largest and most complex of all molecules   DNA  
🗑
A large molecule made up of many smaller molecules joined together in a sequence that encodes the cell's genetic information is called   Polymer  
🗑
The Base "A" stands for   Adenine  
🗑
The Base "T" stands for   Thymine  
🗑
The Base "G" stands for   Guanine  
🗑
The base "C" stands for   Cytosine  
🗑
the time between mitotic phases is called   Interphase  
🗑
cells that leave the cycle and enter a period of rest in which they don't divide is called   G-Zero  
🗑
A key focus of a cells life cycle is called   Mitosis  
🗑
when the cell splits into two identical daughter cells   Mitosis  
🗑
the growth of organs and tissues in a developing child   Mitosis  
🗑
the repair of damaged tissues following a injury   Mitosis  
🗑
Chromatin Begins to coil and condense to form chromosomes happens in what phase?   Prophase  
🗑
some of the spindle fibers attach to one side of the chromosomes at the centromere. this happens in what phase?   Metaphase  
🗑
the chromosomes line up along the center of the cell. this happens in what phase?   Metaphase  
🗑
the centromeres divide, forming two chromosomes instead of a pair attached chromatids. this happens in what phase?   Anaphase  
🗑
Chromosomes uncoil to become chromatin. happens in what phase?   Telophase  
🗑
Cytoplasm divides and cell membrane closes off is called   Cytokinesis  
🗑


   

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.
