Question
Answer
Cell Theory   States that all living things are composed of cells and that all cells come from other cells.  
🗑
Plasma Membrance   Forms a flexible boundary between the living cell and its surroundings.  
🗑
Chromosomes   The main DNA gene carrying structure of a prokaryotic cell.  
🗑
Ribosomes   Tine structures that make proteins according to instructions from the genes.  
🗑
Cytoplasm   The region between the nucleus and the membrane where all the organelles are.  
🗑
Nucleoid   Nucleus like but does not contain a membrane around the DNA.  
🗑
Flagella   Short hair like structures that help a cell propel through its liquid environment.  
🗑
Organelles   Little organs which perform specific function in the cell.  
🗑
Cellular Metabolism   Chemical activities of cells that occur within organelles.  
🗑
Nucleus   Contains the cell's DNA and controls the cell's activities.  
🗑
Chromatin   When a cell does not divide the proteins and DNA appear as a diffuse mass.  
🗑
Nucleolus   A prominent structure in the nucleus.  
🗑
Endomembrane System   A network of membranes inside and around a eukaryotic cell, related either through direct physical contact or by the transfer of membranous vesicles.  
🗑
Vesicles   Tiny sacs made of membrane  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum(ER)   An extensive membranous network in a eukaryotic cell, continuous with the outer nuclear membrane and composed or ribosome studded or ribsome free regions.  
🗑
Golgi Apparatus   Modification and sorting of macromolecules; formation of lysomes and transport vesicles.  
🗑
Lysosome   Digestion of ingested food, bacteria, and a cell's damaged organelles and macromelecules for recycling.  
🗑
Vacuoles   Digestion; storage of chemicals and cell enlargement; water balance.  
🗑
Central Vacuole   Helps a cell grow in size by absorbing water and enlarging it.  
🗑
Peroxisomes   An organelle containing enzymes taht tranfer hydrogen atoms from various substrates to oxygen, producing and then degrading hydrogen peroxide.  
🗑
Mitochondria   Conversion of chemical energy in food to chemical energy of ATP.  
🗑
Cristae   An infolding of the inner mitochondrial membrane.  
🗑
Chloroplasts   Conversion of light energy to chemical energy of sugars.  
🗑
Stroma   The dense fluid within the chloroplasts that surrounds the thylakoid membrane and is involved int eh systhesis of organic molecules from carbon dioxide and water.  
🗑
Thylakoids   A flattened membranous sac inside a chloroplasts.  
🗑
Granum   A stack of membrane bounded thylakoids in a chloroplast.  
🗑
Cytoskeleton   A network of protein fibers in the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell; includes microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules.  
🗑
Microfilaments   The thinnest of the three main kinds of protein fibers making up the cytoskeleton of a eukaryotic cell.  
🗑
Microtubules   The thickest of the three main kinds of fibers making up the cytoskeleton of a eukaryotic cell.  
🗑
Centrioles   A structure in an animal cell composed of cylinders of microtubules triplets arranged in a pattern.  
🗑
Cilia   A short cellular appendage specialized for locomotion.  
🗑
Extracellular Matrix (ECM)   Support; regulation of cellular activities.  
🗑
Integrins   A transmembrane protein that interconnects the extracellular matrix and the cytoskeleton.  
🗑
Plasmodesmata   An open channel in a plant cell wall through which strands of cytoplasm connect from a adjacent cells.  
🗑
Cell Walls   Support and protect; binding of cells in tissues.  
🗑


   

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.
