multicelluar   composed of many cells.  
🗑
organ   made of different kinds of tissue that work together.  
🗑
cell theory   a widely accepted explanation of the relationship between cells and living things.

nucleus   the cell's control center  
🗑
organelles   small structures that carry out specific functions within the cell.  
🗑

🗑
cytoplasm   the material within a cell apart from the nucleus.  
🗑
cytoskeleton   a protein "framework" inside a cell that gives the cell a shape.  
🗑
Golgi body   a structure in a cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the ER, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell.  
🗑
lysosome   a small, round cell structure containing chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones.

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.
