cell organelles and features

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
phospholipid bilayer   phospholipids have a polar hydrophilic (water loving) phosphate head and a hydrophobic (water fearing) fatty acid tail. as they line up, it forms a double layer  
🗑
chromosome   when the cell divides, the DNA condenses  
🗑
nuclear envelope   double membrane surrounding the nucleus - made up of two phospholipid bilayers  
🗑
nucleus   usually one dense layer in the center of the cell  
🗑
ribosome   organelles made of proteins and RNA that direct protein synthesis in the cytoplasm  
🗑
motichondrion   tin organelles that transfer energy from organic molecules to adenosine triphosphate (ATP)  
🗑
enoplasmic reticulum   abbreviated ER is a system of membranous tubes and sacs, called cisternae  
🗑
golgi apparatus   a system of flattened, membranous sacs. the sacs nearest the nucleus receive vesicles from the ER containing newly made proteins or lipids  
🗑
lysosome   vesicles that bud from the Golgi apparatus and that contain digestive enzymes. these enzymes can break down large molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and phospholipids.  
🗑
cytoskeleton   a network of thin tubes and filaments that crisscross the cytosol. the tubes and filaments give shape to the cell from the inside the same way that tent poles support the shape of a tent  
🗑
microtubule   hollow tubes made of a protein called tubilin. each tubilin molecule consists of two slightly different subunits. these also radiate outward from a central point called the centrosome  
🗑
microfilament   long threads of the beadlike protein actin and are linked end to end and wrapped around each other like two strands of a rope.  
🗑
cilium   short and are present in large numbers on certain cells  
🗑
flagellum   are longer and far less numerous on the cells where they occur  
🗑
centriole   consists of two short cylinders of microtubules at right angles to each other and are situated in the cytoplasm near the nuclear envelope.  
🗑


   

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.
