Question
Answer
Organelle   Little cell - part of the cell  
🗑
Cell   "Little room" - full of organelles, makes up all living things  
🗑
Cell membrane   Around the cell, separates the cell from the outside environment. (BOTH - plant and animal cells)  
🗑
Nucleus   Brain of the cell, tells the cell what to do (BOTH - plant and animal cells)  
🗑
Nuclear membrane   Surrounds and protects the nucleus (like the skull, protects the brain of the cell) (BOTH - plant and animal cells)  
🗑
Mitochondria   Powerhouse of the cell - makes energy from nutrients and oxygen (BOTH - plant and animal cells)  
🗑
Cytoplasm   Jelly like liquid that breaks down nutrients and fills the cell to give it shape. (BOTH - plant and animal cells)  
🗑
Vacuole   Storage sac, holds water and waste (BOTH - plant and animal cells - much larger in plant cells)  
🗑
Chloroplasts   Where photosynthesis happens - plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make sugar (PLANTS only)  
🗑
Cell wall   Gives a plant cell structure (PLANTS only)  
🗑
unicellular   made of one cell  
🗑
multicellular   made of more than one cell  
🗑
prokaryote   Simple cell without a nucleus or any membrane-covered organelles. Example: Bacteria  
🗑
eukaryote   Cells with a nucleus and membrane covered organelles Example: Human cells, plant cells  
🗑
Characteristics of Life   1. The ability to reproduce 2. The ability to grow and develop 3. The ability to respond/react to stimuli in the environment 4. The ability to get and use energy 5. Being made of cells 6. The ability to adapt and evolve  
🗑
Cell Theory   1. All living things are made of one or more cells. 2. Cells are the smallest unit of life. 3. All Cells come from other cells. 4. Energy flow takes place within cells. 5. DNA is passed on during cell division. 6. Cells have similar chemical makeup  
🗑
Photosynthesis   Occurs only in plant cells Plants use sun, carbon dioxide, and water to make sugar (Food) and oxygen Happens in the chloroplasts  
🗑
Cellular Respiration   Occurs in plant and animal cells. Happens in the mitochondria Cells use oxygen and nutrients to make energy (ATP) and carbon dioxide  
🗑
Mitosis   Cell division - produces new cells  
🗑


   

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.
