Living things, cells, etc

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
What are characteristics of living things?   Complex and organized, acquire and use energy, respond to stimuli, reproduce, capacity to evolve, grow, have cell(s)  
🗑
What are the three parts of the cell theory?   All living things are composed of cells. Cells are the basic unit and structure of living things. All cells are produced from other cells.  
🗑
What are the stages in the cell cycle?   Interphase, Mitosis (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase), Cytokinesis  
🗑
What is the goal of the cell cycle?   Two identical cells with the same DNA.  
🗑
Where, when, and why is the DNA replication?   In the nucleus, Interphase, So each cell can have the same DNA at the end of the cell cycle.  
🗑
Is the Interphase a resting face? Is it good or bad?   Bad name- not resting, DNA is being copied and the cell is growing to mature size.  
🗑
What is the purpose of cell division?   Reproduction, growth, replacing damaged cells  
🗑
Who does the cell division for reproduction? What process is involved?   Unicellular- Mitosis for eukaryotic and Binary fission for prokaryotic.  
🗑
Who does the cell division for growth? What process is involved?   Multi-cellular: Mitosis  
🗑
What is the nucleus for? What happens here?   Control center of cell that contains the DNA, cell cycle takes place inside the nucleus.  
🗑
What is the process that reproduces cells?   Cell division  
🗑
What is binary fission? What are some examples of organisms?   Prokaryotic (bacteria) simple form of division ends in two identical cells- only one strand of DNA needed to be copied- very quick (asexual reproduction only).  
🗑
What is meiosis? What are some examples of organisms?   Eukaryotic organisms- cell division for sex cells (egg and sperm) ends in four cells with half of the DNA. (ex: humans, dogs, mammals, etc)  
🗑
What is mitosis? What are some examples of organisms?   Eukaryotic organisms- unicellular is used to reproduce and multi-cellular is used to grow.  
🗑
What is an organelle? What are some examples?   Little "organ" within a cell that has a job to make the cell function as a whole. (ex: nucleus, mitochondria, lysosome, vacuole, etc).  
🗑
What is prokaryotic? What are some examples?   No true nucleus, lacks many organelles (asexual reproduction). (ex: bacteria such as E. Coli or Strep).  
🗑
What is eukaryote? What are some examples?   True nucleus and has many of the organelles (sexual reproduction). (ex: human, tarantula, trout, paramecium, amoeba,)  
🗑
What is asexual reproduction? What are some examples?   One parent can reproduce by itself. (ex: paramecium, E. Coli)  
🗑
What is sexual reproduction? What are some examples?   Egg and sperm join to create a new organism. (ex: human, trout  
🗑
What is unicellular?   Made of one cell.  
🗑
What is multi-cellular?   Made of more than one 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.
