Question
Answer
Cell   Smallest functional unit of all organisms  
🗑
Organism   Anything with one or more cells that can carry out life processes independently  
🗑
Unicellular   Organism with one cell. Divide to reproduce.  
🗑
Multicellular   Organism with 2 or more cells.Divide to replace and grow.  
🗑
Cell Membrane   A protective layer that covers the cell's surface and acts as a barrier.  
🗑
prokaryote   no nucleus, DNA is in the cytoplasm, sometimes has a flagella, usually smaller, and organelles not bound by membrane.  
🗑
eukaryote   Has a nucleus, has DNA in nucleus, has ribosomes, make up multicellular organisms.  
🗑
Surface area to Volume ratio   Surface area must be much greater than the volume.  
🗑
Cytoplasm   jelly-like substance that is enclosed by the cell membrane and contains all of the organelles.  
🗑
Organelles   The parts of a cell that have a specialized function.  
🗑
1st Tenant of Cell Theory   All organisms are made of one or more cells. (Theodore Schwann)  
🗑
2nd Tenant of Cell Theory   The cell is the basic unit of all organisms. (Theodore Schwann)  
🗑
3rd Tenant of Cell Theory   All cells come from existing cells. (Rudolph Virchow)  
🗑
Microscope   Tool used to observe cells.  
🗑
Ribosomes   Put together amino acids to create new proteins  
🗑
Mitochondria   Converts chemical energy into ATP  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum   produces, transports, and processes proteins.  
🗑
Golgi Complex   Packages and distributes proteins and lipids.  
🗑
Cell Wall   Rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane in a plant cell.  
🗑
Chloroplasts   Organelles that contain chlorophyll and allow the plant to turn sunlight, water, and CO2 into sucrose/ food for the plant.  
🗑
Vacuole   Fluid filled vesicle that contains, enzymes, nutrients, water, or wastes  
🗑
Lysomes   Contain enzymes that break down "trash" in the cell.  
🗑
histologist   a person who studies 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.
