Practice Cell Vocabulary

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
ATP (Adenosine Triphospate)   stores energy and is like the cells money, everything the cell does cost ATP  
🗑
Glucose   scientific name for simple sugar, The cell can turn glucose into ATP, so it's like the cells fuel  
🗑
Mitochondrion   are like the cells power plants - 1 single mitochondrion can turn 1 glucose into 38 ATP. Mitochondrion can not be repaired only recycled  
🗑
Nucleus   is an organelle that is the central command structure of the cell and stores the cells DNA  
🗑
Amino Acids   are molecules that make protein, they are like the cells brinks  
🗑
Nucleic Acids   make RNA, RNA is the blueprint for protein  
🗑
Ribosomes   are like factories - the nucleus gives them orders and they make things.  
🗑
Slicer Enzymes   kill viral RNA  
🗑
Viruses   attack the cell - they invade and reproduce themselves (They have a protein coat and viral RNA)  
🗑
Fatty Acids   are molecules udes to make membrane, the stretchy outside of the cell.  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R.)   an organelle where the membrane is produced, and it makes the cell grown bigger.  
🗑
Free Radicals   dangerous molecules that damage the nucleus' DNA and organelles like the mitochondria. They are like poisonous garbage, mitochondria produce them along with ATP  
🗑
Vesicles   is a membrane bubble with protein inside. It's like a water balloon filled with chemicals. (vesicles also carry organelles)  
🗑
Lysosome   A vesicle filled with acid, it can recycle and digests large organelles.  
🗑
Peroxisome   A vesicle that absorbs free radicals.  
🗑
Golgi Body   is an organelle which sorts and processes vesicles  
🗑
Chloroplasts   only found in plant cells, uses sunlight to make glucose  
🗑


   

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.
