        Help!  

Term
Definition
cell   the basic unit of life  
🗑
unicellular   consists of a single cell (such as bacteria and protozoa)  
🗑
multicellular   consists of multiple cells (such as plants and animals)  
🗑
cell membrane   a structure that keeps the cell's contents separate from its external environment  
🗑
cytoplasm   a watery, jellylike substance that can include other cell structures  
🗑
genetic material   coded instructions for carrying out the cell's activities  
🗑
prokaryotes   bacteria  
🗑
nucleus   contains genetic material that directs the activities of the cell  
🗑
eukaryotic cells   a cell that contains the genetic material within a nucleus (all plant and animal cells)  
🗑
cell wall   gives the cell shape and rigidity (in a plant cell)  
🗑
chloroplasts   absorb sun's energy for the production of food (in a plant cell)  
🗑
vacuole   stores water, nutrients, wastes, and other substances (in a plant cell)  
🗑
ribosomes   produce proteins (in a plant cell)  
🗑
mitochondrion   cell's energy is produced here (in a plant cell)  
🗑
photosynthesis   a process where green plants, some algae, and some bacteria use energy from sunlight to make food (oxygen is a by-product)  
🗑
glucose   a simple sugar  
🗑
chlorophyll   a pigment that gives plants their green color  
🗑
carbohydrates   As a result of photosynthesis, a place where energy is stored  
🗑

🗑


   

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.
