Cell Composition

        Help!  

Term
Definition
Cell Membrane   outer boundary of the cell. It allows the passage of materials into and out of the cell  
🗑
Nucleus   the control center of the cell. It contains the genetic material, RNA or DNA  
🗑
Cytoplasm   the liquid material found between the cell membrane and the nucleus. It is where the cell organelles are located and where metabolic reactions occur  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum   the transportation canals found inside of the cytoplasm. There are two types: rough (with ribosomes) and smooth (lacking ribosomes)  
🗑
Organelle   a structure found within the cell’s cytoplasm that carries out specific functions. Mitochondria, ribosomes, chloroplasts, and lysosomes are all examples  
🗑
Nuclear Membrane   a boundary that surrounds the nucleus. There are small openings called nuclear pores that allow RNA to come in and out  
🗑
Mitochondria   organelle that breaks down food to produce energy in the form of ATP  
🗑
Ribosomes   found in cytoplasm and on rough ER, they convert amino acids into proteins  
🗑
Proteins   these organic molecules build and repair cells  
🗑
Golgi Body   an organelle that is responsible for the packaging and shipping of materials for the cell  
🗑
Vacuole   a structure that stores compounds until they are needed by the cell, it also stores wastes and by-products given-off by cellular functions  
🗑
Lysosomes   responsible for digesting dead or dying cellular material within the cell  
🗑
Cell Wall   used by plants to support the cell and the plant during growth  
🗑
Chloroplasts   structures only found within a plant cell, contains chlorophyll pigment responsible for photosynthesis  
🗑
Photosynthesis   process by which plants (autotrophs) capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy (food)  
🗑
Centrioles   structures found in animal and many other eukaryotic cells that organize the spindle fibers during cell division. They are NOT found in plant cells  
🗑


   

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.
