Cells

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
Nucleus   Information center for cell- Eukaryotes have a nucleus but prokaryotes do not- The nucleus contains nearly all of the cells DNA.- Brain of the cell- Houses all the genetic material such as chromatin and chromosomes.  
🗑
Nuclear Envelope   Covering around the nucleus that helps protect the nucleus.  
🗑
Nuclear pores   Allows certain things into the nucleus and certain things out of the nucleus.  
🗑
Nucleolus   Found inside the nucleus. Produces ribosomes.  
🗑
Cytoplasm   Outside of the nucleus, cell fluid. Suspends the organelles within the fluid. Jelly-like substance.  
🗑
Ribosomes   Made of RNA and proteins. They are the ones that produce protein.  
🗑
Rough endoplasmic reticulum- Rough ER   Network of membranes to which ribosomes attach-package molecules and make membranes and proteins.  
🗑
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum- Smooth ER   Membrane network involved in the making of lipids, cholestrol, and fats.  
🗑
Golgi apparatus   Prepare and store proteins for secretion. In this organelle you might see the processing of a protein, where enzymes may attach carbohydrates or lipids.  
🗑
Lysosomes   Clean-up crews. Filled with chemicals and enzymes. Lysosomes can break down almost any substance within the cell. Site of digestion- gets rid of waste.  
🗑
Cytoskeleton   Internal beam of supportive outer skeleton made of microtubules and microfilmaments to supprt the cell and give it shape. This will also be the area where you will see the cilia and flagella- which will provide the movement of the cell.  
🗑
Vacuoles   Storage center- In animals, can store protein, fats, and carbohydrates. In a plant, the central vacuole often stores water and dissolved salts. Vacuoles also provide pressure to the plant cells so that it can grow quickly. Vacuoles in general store food a  
🗑
Mitochondria   Powerhouse of the cell. Provides energy for the cell. Site of cellular respiration.  
🗑
Chloroplast   Harvest sunlight into energy. Found in plant cells. Site of photosynthesis. Food for plant cells starts here.  
🗑
Centrioles   Involved in cell division in animal cells. Assist in cell reproduction.  
🗑
Cell membrane   Controls entry into and out of cell- controls movement and is selective in what can enter and leave the cell.  
🗑


   

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.
