Question
Answer
What are differentiated cells?   Cells with specialized characteristics  
🗑
What are the three major parts of a cell?   nucleus) innermost part that contains DNA located in nuclear envelope. cytoplasm) has cytoplasmic organelles in its cytosol. cell membrane) contains the cytoplasm  
🗑
Where is the cell membrane?   the outermost part of the cell  
🗑
What is the cell membrane's purpose?   controls many metabolic reactions and harbors molecules that enable the cell to communicate and interact. Controls what enters and exits the cell.  
🗑
What is a membrane that allows some substances to enter but not others?   a selectively permeable membrane  
🗑
How does the cell membrane allow the cell to send and receive messages   signal tranduction  
🗑
What is the cell membrane made of?   lipids and proteins with some carbs  
🗑
What is the framework of the membrane structure?   double layer of phospholipid molecules that self-assemble so that their water soluble heads form the surfaces of the membrane and their watter insoluble tails form the interior of the membrane  
🗑
What does the interior of the membrane consist of?   fatty acid portions  
🗑
How are membrane proteins classified?   shape, location in bilayer, and function  
🗑
What is an integral protein?   a protein that spans the membrane  
🗑
What is a peripheral protein?   a protein that projects from outer surface of membrane  
🗑
What is both a integral and peripheral protein?   a protein that transverses membrane and extends from outer surface  
🗑
What is a transmembrane protein?   a protein that extends outside and dips into the cytoplasm  
🗑
What is a receptor?   many times a transmembrane protein that receive and transmit messages into a cell  
🗑
What are cellular adhesion molecules? (CAMs)   peripheral proteins that enable certain cells to touch or bond  
🗑
What else is in the cytoplasm other than organelles?   inclusions  
🗑
What is an inclusion?   stored nutrients and are usually temporarily in the cell  
🗑
What is the cytoskeleton?   protein rods and tubules that from a supportive framework  
🗑
Ribosome   particle composed of protein and RNA///synthesizes proteins  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum- E.R.   membranous sacs, canals, vesicles///transports materials within cell, provides attachment for ribosomes, and synthesizes lipids  
🗑
Vescicles   membranous sacs///contains substances that recently entered the cell, store and transport newly synthesized molecules  
🗑
Golgi Apparatus   flattened, membranous sacs///packages and modifies protein molecules for transport and secretion  
🗑
Mitochondria   membranous sacs with inner portions///release energy from food and convert it into usable form  
🗑
Lysosomes   membranous sacs///contain enzymes capable of ingesting worn cell parts or substances that enter cells  
🗑
Peroxisomes   membranous sacs///contain peroxidases, important in the breakdown of many organic molecules  
🗑
Centrosome   nonmembranous structure with 2 rodlike centrioles///helps distribute chromosomes to new cells in cell division; initiates formation of cilia  
🗑
Cilia   motile projections attached to basal bodies beneath the cell membrane///propel fluids over cellular surface  
🗑
Flagellum   motile projections attached to basal bodies benath the cell membrane///enables sperm cells to move  
🗑
Microfilaments and Microtubules   thin rods and tubules///support cytoplasm, help move substances and organelles within the cytoplasm  
🗑
Nuclear Envelope   selectively permeable double membrane that separates the nuclear contents from the cytoplasm///maintains integrity of the nucleus, controls passage of materials, between the nucleus and cytoplasm  
🗑
Nucleolus   dense, nonmembranous body composed of protein and RNA molecules///site of ribosome formation  
🗑
Chromatin   fibers composed of protein and DNA molecules///carries information for synthesizing proteins  
🗑


   

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.
