Unit 1, L.1-3

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
cell   basic unit of structure of all living things; smallest unit in which life processes can be carried out  
🗑
cell theory   all living things are composed of one or more cells; a cell is the basic unit of life - all chemical reactions occur within cell; cells come from other cells  
🗑
cell wall   thick outer layer of cellulose  
🗑
cell membrane   flexible thin protective layer that helps control what goes in and out of cell (security - police)  
🗑
cytoplasm   watery fluid inside cell (Mr. Liquid)  
🗑
organelles   structures inside a cell that perform a certain purpose  
🗑
nucleus   cell control center; largest organelle  
🗑
nuclear membrane   wall of nucleus- regulates what goes in and out of the nucleus  
🗑
chromosomes   hold genetic information that is passed on to new cells; also direct cell growth and reproduction  
🗑
mitochondria   produce energy for the cell; ATP, Metabolic pathways, and enzymes are at work in here  
🗑
endoplasmic reticulum (ER)   functions as the cell's transportation system- 1.Rough ER- has ribosomes attached, transports materials 2.Smooth ER- no ribosomes, transports materials  
🗑
ribosomes   produce protein for the cell (Mr. Protein)  
🗑
nucleolus   sun  
🗑
Golgi Body   processes and transports proteins  
🗑
lysosomes   recycle worn out cell parts (trasher)  
🗑
vacuoles   store things like water and food the cell needs  
🗑
chloroplasts   found only in plant cells; contain green chlorophyll  
🗑
centrosome   center of nucleus  
🗑
Hooke   saw the first cell  
🗑
Cells testify to God's creative work!   cells contain enough complex genetic information to create a new organism!  
🗑
energy   the ability to do work  
🗑
cellular respiration   the breaking down of food molecules by cells into usable energy (happens in mitochondria)  
🗑
ATP   molecule that carries small packets of energy  
🗑
metabolic pathways   chemical reactions that break down or make materials the cells need  
🗑
enzymes   special proteins that speed up chemical reactions (without them, reactions would not happen fast enough for cells to live)  
🗑


   

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.
