|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cell | The smallest unit that can perform all life processes: cells are covered by a membrane and contain DNA and cytoplasm.
🗑
|
||||
| Cell Membrane(aka plasma membrane) | a phospholipid layer that covers a cell's surface and acts as a barrier between the inside of a cell and the cell's environment.
🗑
|
||||
| Cell Wall | a rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane and provides support to the cell.
🗑
|
||||
| Chloroplast | an organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs.
🗑
|
||||
| Cytoplasm | the region of the cell within the membrane that includes the fluid, the cytoskeleton, and all of the organelles except the nucleus.
🗑
|
||||
| Eukaryote | an organism made up of cells that have a nuclues enclosed by a membrane, multiple chromosomes, and a mitotic cycle; eukatyotes include protists, animals, plants, and fungi but not archaea or bacteria.
🗑
|
||||
| mitochondrion | in eukaryotic cells, the cell organelle that is surrounded by two membranes and that is the site of cellular respiration, which produces ATP.
🗑
|
||||
| Nucleus | in a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-bound organelle that contains the cell's DNA and that has a role in processes such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
🗑
|
||||
| Organelle | one of the small bodies that are found in the cytoplasm of a cell and that are specialized to perform a specific function.
🗑
|
||||
| Prokaryote | a single-celled organism that does not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles; examples are archaea and bacteria.
🗑
|
||||
| Ribosome | a cell organelle composed of RNA and protein; the site of protein synthesis.
🗑
|
||||
| Vacuole | a fluid-filled vesicle found in the cytoplasm of plant cells or protozoans.

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.
