Question
Answer
ribosomes   where amino acids hook together to build proteins  
🗑
Golgi complex (bodies, apparatus)   processes, packages, and stores fats and proteins produced by the endoplasmic reticulum ( ER )  
🗑
cytoplasm   watery fluid that fills the cell that the organelles are floating around in  
🗑
nucleus   control center of the cell, stores DNA in the form of chromatin. Directs all the activities of the cell.  
🗑
nucleolus   dark spot in the nucleus where ribosomes are made.  
🗑
nuclear membrane   also known as the nuclear envelope  
🗑
cell membrane   also called plasma membrane. It is a phospholipid bi-layer that controls movement in and out of the cell.  
🗑
mitochondria   the powerhouse of the cell. The site of cellular respiration and where ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is made.  
🗑
rough ER (endoplasmic reticulum)   transport system that produces proteins and is covered with ribosomes.  
🗑
vacuole (small)   membrane enclosed structures that store materials such as water, starch, or fats. In animal cells, there are usually several small vacuoles.  
🗑
central vacuole   membrane enclosed structure that stores materials such as water, starch, or fats. In plant cells there is usually one large vacuole.  
🗑
cell wall   surrounds and protects the plant cell. Cell walls give the plant its characteristic shape. The cell wall of most plant and algae is made of cellulose.  
🗑
chloroplast   found only in plant cells, it contains chlorophyll, a green pigment which absorbs light to provide energy for photosynthesis.  
🗑
smooth ER (endoplasmic reticulum)   internal transport system that produces lipids (fats).  
🗑
lysosomes   contains digestive enzymes that break down large molecules into smaller particles such as wastes, cell parts, or foreign invaders. Referred to as the garbage men of the cell.  
🗑
centrioles   found only in animal cells. They form spindle fibers that help the chromosomes move during cell division.  
🗑


   

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.
