Term
Definition
cells   the basic unit of life  
🗑
cell theory   all living things are made up of cells cells are the basic units of living things cells come from cells  
🗑
cell membrane   a thin flexible barrier that surrounds the cell  
🗑
what is the cell membrane sometimes called?   the plasma membrane  
🗑
nucleus   a large membrane enclosed structure that controls genetic material in the form of DNA and controls many cell's activities  
🗑
Eukaryotes   cells that enclose their DNA in nuclei  
🗑
Prokaryotes   cells that do not enclose their DNA in the nuclei  
🗑
prokaryotes   smaller and simpler do not separate genetic material in the nucleus carries out activities associated with living things bacteria  
🗑
eukaryotes   larger and more complex contains internal membranes nucleus separates the genetic material from the cell plants and animals  
🗑
cytoplasm   the fluid portion of the cell outside the nucleus  
🗑
do prokaryotes have a cytoplasm?   yes, but not a nucleus  
🗑
organelles   little organs  
🗑
nucleus   contains all of the cell's DNA and the coded intructions to make proteins  
🗑
do prokaryotes have a nucleus?   no, but they do have DNA  
🗑
chromosomes   carries the cell's genetic information  
🗑
where are chromosomes found?   in the nucleus  
🗑
nucleolus   where the assembly of ribosomes begins  
🗑
vacuoles   stores water, salts, proteins and carbohydrates  
🗑
vacuoles   large, sac-like, membrane enclosed structures  
🗑
do plants have a vacuole?   yes, but they have a central vacuole  
🗑
where are vacuoles found for?   some uncellular organisms and some animals  
🗑
vesselles   store and move materials between cell organelles  
🗑
lysosomes   "the clean up crew"  
🗑
lysosomes   small organelles filled with enzymes they break down lipids, carbohydrates and proteins ino small molecules  
🗑
cytoskeleton   network of protein filaments that gives eukaryote cells thier shape  
🗑
cytoskeleton   flagella and cillia helps maintain cell shape and is also involved in movement microfilaments and microtubules make up the cytoskeleton  
🗑
microfilaments   threadlike structures made up of actin(protein) they help cells move  
🗑
microtubules   hollow structures made up of tubulins(protein) they help maintain the cell's shape important in cell division and helps separate chromosomes  
🗑
centrioles   located near the nucleus and helps organize cell division  
🗑
are centrioles found in plant cells?   no  
🗑
ribosomes   small particles of RNA and protein found throughout the cytoplasm in all cells  
🗑
what are ribosomes known as?   "the boss"  
🗑
proteins are assembled on what?   ribosomes  
🗑
endoplasmic reticulum   internal membrane that the eukaryote cell contains  
🗑
where are lipid components ofthe cell membrane are assembled, along with proteins and other materials that are exported from the cell?   the endoplasmic reticulum  
🗑
rough endoplasmic reticulum   ER involved in the sythesis of proteins/ rought because ribosomes are found on its surface  
🗑
smooth endoplasmic reticulum   it is called this because no ribosomes are found on it's surface  
🗑
golgi apparatus   where proteins that were produced in the rough ER move into a stack of flattened membranes modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials  
🗑
what does the golgi apparatus do?   modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials  
🗑
chloroplasts   the biological equivalents of solar power plants capture energy from sunlight and converts it into food two membranes surround it  
🗑
mitochondria   found in all eukryotic cells, including plants power plants of a cell converts chemical energy from food into compounds two membranes/ outer and inner has their own genetic information  
🗑
cell wall   most prokaryotes a strong supporting layer around that membrane supports, shapes and protects the cell  
🗑
which has a cell wall, plants or animals?   plants, not animals  
🗑
lipid bilayer   gives cell membranes a flexible structure that forms a strong barrier between the cell and its surroundings  
🗑


   

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.
