Question
Answer
cell   basic unit of life  
🗑
cell membrane   a thin flexible barrier surrounding the cell  
🗑
Nucleus   is a large membrane enclosed structure that contains genetic material in form of DNA and controls many of the cells activity  
🗑
Eukaryotes   contains DNA in their nuclei  
🗑
Prokaryotes   do not enclose DNA in a nuclei  
🗑
Vacuoles and vesicles   Stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates  
🗑
Lysosomes   Break down waste and detoxify poisons to clean up the cell  
🗑
Cytoskeleton   Network of proteins filaments in a eukaryotic cell that gives its shape and internal organization and is involved in movement  
🗑
Centrioles   Structure in an animal cell that helps to organize cell division  
🗑
Ribosomes   Can be found in the endoplasmic reticulum, or floating through the cytoplasm, they create proteins by joining amino acids that the cell s need Made in the nucleus  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum   Series of folded membranes that prepares the proteins for transport to the Golgi apparatus  
🗑
Golgi Apparatus   Receives proteins from E.R, package them for protection to be sent to other parts of the cell  
🗑
Chloroplasts   -found in plants and algae -use energy from sunlight to make food -contains DNA and can divide on its own  
🗑
Mitochondria   Chemically change food into energy (ATP) Contain DNA and can Divide on its own  
🗑
Cell Wall   -found in plants, algae, fungi, and most bacteria -made of cellulose -help protect and support the cell  
🗑
Cell Membrane   Outer covering protective layer in ALL cells Controls what comes in and out of the cells  
🗑
Diffusion   When particles move to an area that is more concentrated to an area that is less concentrated  
🗑
Passive Transport   the movement of materials across the cell membrane without using energy  
🗑
Facilitated Diffusion   Process of Diffusion in which molecules pass across the membrane through cell membrane channels  
🗑
Aquaporins   Water Channel Proteins  
🗑
Osmosis   diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane  
🗑
Isotonic   when the concentration of two solutions are the same  
🗑
Hypertonic   when comparing two solutions the solution with the greater concentration of solutes  
🗑
Hypotonic   when comparing two solutions, the solution with the lesser concentration of solutes  
🗑
Osmotic Pressure   the pressure that must be applied to osmotic pressure movement across a selectively permeable membrane  
🗑
Active Transport   The movement of materials against a concentration difference  
🗑
Endocytosis   process of taking materials into the cell by means of enfolding, or pockets of the cell membrane  
🗑
Phagocytosis   a type of endocytosis, where extensions of cytoplasm surround a particle and package it within a vacuole  
🗑
Exocytosis   membrane of the vacuole fuses with the cell membrane to bring material OUT OF the cell  
🗑
Homeostasis   relatively constant internal physical chemical conditions  
🗑
Unicellular Organisms   organisms are single celled living creature that meet all criteria of a living thing  
🗑
Multicellular Organisms   a multiple-celled living creature that meets all criteria of a living thing  
🗑
Cell   basic unit of all forms of life  
🗑
Tissue   a group of similar cells that performs a particular function  
🗑
Organ   group of tissue that work together to perform closely related functions  
🗑
Organ System   a group of organs that work together to perform a specific function  
🗑


   

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.
