|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cell | The basic biological unit of living organisms, containing a nucleus and a variety of organelles enclosed by a limiting membrane
🗑
|
||||
| Centrioles | A minute body found near the nucleus of the cell; active in cell division
🗑
|
||||
| Chromatin | The structures in the nucleus that carry the hereditary factors or genes
🗑
|
||||
| Chromosomes | Barlike bodies of tightly coiled chromatin; visible during cell division
🗑
|
||||
| Cillia | Tiny, hairlike projections on cell surfaces that move in a wavelike manner
🗑
|
||||
| Cytoplasm | The substance of a cell other than that of the nucleus
🗑
|
||||
| Cytoskeleton | Cellular skeleton contained within a cell's cytoplasm
🗑
|
||||
| Cytosol | Liquid found inside the cell
🗑
|
||||
| DNA | Nucleic acid found in all living cells; carries the organism's hereditary information
🗑
|
||||
| Flagella | Long, whiplike extensions of the cell membrane of some bacteria and sperm that are used to propel the cell
🗑
|
||||
| Golgi Apparatus | Stack of membranous sacs associated with swarms of tiny vesicles, it is the traffic director for cellular proteins
🗑
|
||||
| Inclusion | Chemical substances that may or may not be present depending on cell type; non-functioning
🗑
|
||||
| Interstitial fluid | Fluid between the cells
🗑
|
||||
| Lysosomes | Organelles that originate from the Golgi Apparatus and contain strong digestive enzymes
🗑
|
||||
| Microvilli | The tiny projections on the free surfaces of some epitelial cells; increase surface area for absorption
🗑
|
||||
| Mitochondria | The rod-like cytoplasmic organelles responsible for ATP generation for cellular activities
🗑
|
||||
| Nuclear membrane | Also known as the nuclear envelope, this is a double lipid bilayer that surrounds the genetic material and nucleolus
🗑
|
||||
| Nucleoli | Small spherical bodies in the cell nucleus; function in ribosome synthesis
🗑
|
||||
| Nucleoplasm | the substance of a cell nucleus
🗑
|
||||
| Nucleus | A dense central body in most cells containing the genetic material of the cell
🗑
|
||||
| Organelles | Specialized structures in a cell that perform specific metabolic functions
🗑
|
||||
| Perixosomes | Membranous sacs containing powerful oxidase enzymes that use molecular oxygen to detoxify a number of harmful or poisonous susbtances
🗑
|
||||
| Plasma (cell) Membrane | Membrane that encloses cell contents
🗑
|
||||
| Ribosomes | Cytoplasmic organelles at which proteins are synthesized
🗑
|
||||
| Rough ER | Studded with ribosomes, essentially all building materials of cellular membranes are formed either in it or on it
🗑
|
||||
| Smooth ER | Functions in cholesterol synthesis and breakdown, fat metabolism, and detoxification of drugs
🗑

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.
