🗑
cell   the basic unit (of structure and function) in living things  
🗑
organelle   a tiny cell structure or part that carries out a specific job in the cell  
🗑
cell wall   a strong or rigid layer that surrounds the cells of plants; provides shape, support, and strength  
🗑
cell membrane   a cell part that controls which substances can enter or leave the cell  
🗑
lysosome   this is found only in animal cells; contains chemicals to help break down food and old cell parts  
🗑
nucleus   directs and controls all cell activity  
🗑
cytoplasm   gel-like fluid made mostly of water that holds other organelles and helps chemical reactions take place  
🗑
nucleolus   where ribosomes are made  
🗑
ribosome   where proteins are made  
🗑
endoplasmic reticulum (E.R.)   passageways that carry or transport protein and other materials from one part of the cell to another  
🗑
golgi bodies   receive proteins and other materials and packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell  
🗑
mitochondria   an organelle that uses food molecules and changes it into energy for the cell to use  
🗑
chloroplasts   found only in plant cells that captures energy from the sun to be used in photosynthesis  
🗑
vacuole   stores food, water, and wastes in a cell; it is larger in plant cells  
🗑
3 parts of the cell theory   all living things are made of cells, cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things, all cells are made from other 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.
