Week 3 Cells and Cell Specialization

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Cell   smallest unit that can perform all the life processes  
🗑
cell specialization   ability of different cells to perform specific functions in a multicellular organism, such as protection, mobility and reproduction.  
🗑
cell wall   Provides structure for the cell. Only found in plant cells.  
🗑
Chemical Signals   hormones and neurotransmitters that send "messages" from one cell to another  
🗑
Cytoplasm   Fluid material inside the cell. Contains the structures of the cell.  
🗑
Eukaryote   complex cell that has nucleus and membrane bound organelles.  
🗑
Hormones   substance released by glands to produce change from within.  
🗑
Nucleus   organelle that houses the DNA of eukaryotic cells  
🗑
Organelle   subcellular structure that has a special function.  
🗑
plasma membrane   thin layer on the surface of all cells, consisting mainly of lipids and proteins.  
🗑
Prokaryote   a cell without a nucleus  
🗑
Ribosome   organelle on which proteins are synthesized.  
🗑
Semi-permeable   allows passage of only certain types of molecules  
🗑
Cilia   hair like organelles that line the surfaces of some cells that beat in rhythmic waves, providing locomotion  
🗑
contractile vacuole   found in many microorganisms that expand, filled with water and then empties contents to the exterior.  
🗑
Flagella   Whip-like tail that enables some organisms to move.  
🗑
stem cells   can divide (through mitosis) and differentiate into diverse specialized cell types  
🗑
Differentiation   The structural and functional divergence of cells as they become specialized during a multicellular organism's development; dependent on the control of gene expression.  
🗑


   

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.
