🗑
CELL   A cell is the smallest part of a living organism  
🗑
CELL THEORY   Cell theory states: 1. Cells come from cells/living things 2. Living things are made of cells. 3. Cells performs specific functions.  
🗑
CARBOHYDRATES   Carbohydrates are molecules of sugars and starches in cells.  
🗑
PROTEINS   Proteins are molecules of fuel and enzymes to process fuel in cells.  
🗑
LIPIDS   Lipids are molecules of fats in cells.  
🗑
NUCLEIC ACIDS   Nucleic acids are acids containing information (such as DNA) in cells.  
🗑
ENZYMES   Enzymes are proteins that serves as a catalyst to bind or break down other proteins.  
🗑
CELL MEMBRANE   The cell membrane is a thin flexible layer surrounding the cytoplasm; it allows selective molecules in and out of the cell.  
🗑
SELECTIVE PERMEABILITY   Selective permeability allows only certain molecules to pass through the cell membrane.  
🗑
FLUID MOSAIC   The fluid mosaic is the name for the model of the flexible pattern of a cell membrane.  
🗑
DIFFUSION   Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a high area of concentration (a lot) to a low area of concentration (a little).  
🗑
OSMOSIS   Osmosis is diffusion of water.  
🗑
CELL WALL   The cell wall is the firm outer boundary of plant cells.  
🗑
ORGANELLE   Organelles are the smaller parts of a cell that perform functions (jobs).  
🗑
MITOCHONDRIA   The mitochondria organelles of the cell make power for the cell.  
🗑
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM   The ER is the organelle of a cell that transports materials through the cytoplasm.  
🗑
DNA   DNA is a nucleic acid that contains instructions for the cell.  
🗑
NUCLEUS   The nucleus is organelle of the cell that commands the cell (the brain of the cell).  
🗑
RIBOSOMES   The ribosomes assemble proteins in the cell.  
🗑
GOLGI APPARATUS   The Golgi body or apparatus packages chemicals in the cell.  
🗑
VACUOLE   The vacuole stores food, water, and chemicals.  
🗑
LYSOMES   Lysosomes destroy waste in animal cells.  
🗑
CHLOROPLAST   The chloroplast organelle has chlorophyll to capture light energy.  
🗑
CILIA   The cilia are small hair like structures outside of cells for movement.  
🗑
FLAGELLA   The flagellum is a long whip like structure outside of the cell for movement.  
🗑
CHROMOSOMES   Chromosomes are strands of DNA in the nucleus that dictates heredity.  
🗑
CYTOLOGY   The study of cells.  
🗑
UNICELLULAR   A living organism made up of one cell.  
🗑
MULTI-CELLULAR   A living organism made up of many cells.  
🗑
TISSUE   A group of similar cells working together for a similar function.  
🗑
ORGAN   Two or more tissues working together for a similar function.  
🗑
FUNCTION   To produce a result or to have a useful purpose.  
🗑
TURGOR PRESSURE   Water pressure inside of a plant cell’s vacuole; helps to maintain stiffness of stems and leaves in plants.  
🗑
CELLULAR RESPIRATION   The process by which cells obtain usable energy from energy sources.  
🗑
ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION   The process by which cells obtain usable energy from energy sources - which does NOT use oxygen.  
🗑
AEROBIC RESPIRATION   The process by which cells obtain usable energy from energy sources - using oxygen.  
🗑
ALCOHOLIC FERMENTATION   Anaerobic cellular respiration from sugar which produces alcohol and carbon.  
🗑
PHOTOSYNTHESIS   The process that forms simple sugars from carbon dioxide, water, and light energy.  
🗑
LACTIC ACID FERMENTATION   Anaerobic cellular respiration from sugar which produces lactic acid.  
🗑


   

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.
