Question
Answer
Cell   basic unit of all forms of life  
🗑
cell theory   idea that all living things are composed of cells. Cells are the basic unit of all forms of structure and function and new cells are produced from exiting cells  
🗑
nuncleus   the center of the atom which contains the protons and neutrons  
🗑
eukaryote   organisms whose cells contain a nuclei  
🗑
prokaryote   unicellular organism lacking nucleus  
🗑
what are proteins assembled on?   ribosomes  
🗑
Chloroplasts   capture light energy from sunlight and convert into chemical energy  
🗑
organelle   specialized structure that performs important cellular functions within a eukaryotic cell  
🗑
cytoplasm   material inside the cell membrane, not including the nucleus  
🗑
nuclear envelope   material of two membranes that surround the nucleus of a cell  
🗑
chromatin   granular material visible within the nucleus; consists of DNA tightly coiled around proteins  
🗑
chromosome   threadlike structure within the nucleus containing the genetic information that is passed from one generation of cells to the next  
🗑
ribosome   small particle in the cell on which proteins are assembled; made of RNA and protein  
🗑
nucleolus   small, dense region within most nuclei in which the assembly of protein begins  
🗑
endoplasmic reticulum   internal membrane system in cells in which lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled and some proteins are modified  
🗑
Golgi apparatus   stack of membranes in the cell that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum  
🗑
lysosome   cell organelle filled with enzymes needed to break down certain materials in the cell  
🗑
vacuole   salts, proteins, and carbohydrates  
🗑
mitochondrion   cell organelle that converts that chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use  
🗑
chloroplast   organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy and converts into chemical energy  
🗑
cytoskeleton   network of proteins filaments within some cells that help the cell maintain its shape and is involved in many forms of cell movement  
🗑
centriole   one of two structures located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near nuclear envelope  
🗑
What do all cells have?   a cell membrane  
🗑
Osmosis   the diffusion of water through a selectivity permeable membrane  
🗑
cell membrane   thin, flexible barrier around a cell. Regulates what enters and leaves the cell  
🗑
cell wall   strong supporting layer around the cell membrane in plants algae and some bacteria  
🗑
lipid bilayer   double-layered sheet that forms the core of nearly all cell membranes  
🗑
concentration   the mass of solute in a given volume of solution or mass/volume  
🗑
diffusion   process by which molecules tend to move from an area where they are less concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated  
🗑
equilibrium   when the concentration of solute is the same throughout a solution  
🗑
osmosis   diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane  
🗑
active transport   energy requiring process that moves materials across a cell membrane against a concentration difference  
🗑
What is the level of organization?   individual cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems  
🗑
cell specialization   the process in which cells develop in different ways to perform different tasks  
🗑
tissue   group of similar cells that per for a particular functions  
🗑
organ systems   group of organs that work together to perform a specific function  
🗑


   

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.
