The Cell

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

Term
Definition
show -All living things are composed of cells. -The cell is the basic functional unit of life. -Cells arise only from pre-existing cells. -Cells carry genetic information in the form of DNA. The genetic material is passed from parent to daughter cell  
🗑
Prokaryote (organisms)   show
🗑
show -A cell wall is present in all prokaryotes. -No nucleus. -Ribosomes (30S and 50S). -No membrane-bound organelles. -Unicellular -Circular DNA (Plasmids)  
🗑
show -Cocci  
🗑
show -Bacilli  
🗑
show Protists, fungi, plants, and animals  
🗑
Eukaryote (characteristics)   show
🗑
show Made of a phospholipid bilayer. Studded with proteins and lipid rafts, these control the movement of solutes into and out of the cell.  
🗑
show Allow polar molecules and ions to move in and out of the cell  
🗑
Cell Adhesion Molecules   show
🗑
Nucleus   show
🗑
show A subsection of the nucleus where rRNA is synthesized  
🗑
Ribosomes   show
🗑
Endoplasmic reticulum   show
🗑
show Works toward lipid synthesis and detoxification of drugs and poisons  
🗑
show Moreso, directly involved in the production of protein products  
🗑
Golgi apparatus   show
🗑
show Used to transport and store materials that are ingested, secreted, processed, or digested by the cell.  
🗑
Lysosome   show
🗑
show Used for respiration of the cell. They contain some of their own genes and replicate independently of the nucleus via binary fission.  
🗑
Microbodies   show
🗑
Peroxisomes   show
🗑
Glyoxysomes   show
🗑
Chloroplast   show
🗑
Cell wall   show
🗑
Centrioles   show
🗑
Cytoskeleton   show
🗑
show Made up of solid polymerized rods of actin. They interact with myosin in reference to muscular contraction.  
🗑
show Hollow polymers of tubulin proteins. They provide the largest roads for transport as well as structural support. They are involved in chromosomal separation during Mitosis and Meiosis.  
🗑
show A collection of fibers that help maintain the overall integrity of the cytoskeleton  
🗑
Pinocytosis   show
🗑
show The ingestion of large solids such as bacteria.  
🗑
show Going from high to low concentration, without the use of a protein and energy, small, nonpolar molecules move through the cell membrane  
🗑
show Going from high to low concentration, without the use of a protein and energy, H2) goes through the plasma membrane  
🗑
show Going from high to low concentration, with the use of a protein, but NO energy, large, polar, and ionic molecules move through the cell membrane  
🗑
Active Transport   show
🗑
Epithelial tissue   show
🗑
show Supports the body and provides a framework for higher-level interactions. [Bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, adipose tissue, and blood are all connective tissues]  
🗑
show Consisting of neurons, they make use of electrochemical gradients to allow for cellular signaling and the coordinated control of multiple tissues, organs, and organ systems.  
🗑
Muscle tissue   show
🗑
show Acellular structures with a protein coat (capsid), that contain nuclear information (circular/linear, single/double stranded, DNA/RNA).  
🗑
show After hijacking a cell's machinery, a virus will replicate and turn out new copies of itself known as virions, which can be released to infect new cells  
🗑
Bacteriophages   show
🗑


   

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.
