Organelles in Plant and Animal 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
eukaryote   organism whose cell contains a nucleus  
🗑
prokaryote   unicellular organism whose cell does not contain a nucleus  
🗑
cell wall   rigid layer that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms  
🗑
cell membrane   surrounds all cells and controls which substances can pass into or out of the cell  
🗑
nucleus   control center of cell; contains genetic material  
🗑
chromatin   strands of material in the nucleus that contains information for directing cell functions  
🗑
nucleolus   small structure in nucleus where ribosomes are made  
🗑
nuclear envelope   surrounds the nucleus; materials pass into and out of pores in the envelope  
🗑
cytoplasm   thick, clear, gel-like substance that fills the cell  
🗑
mitochondria   powerhouse of the cell - converts energy stored in food to energy the cell can use  
🗑
endoplasmic reticulum   network of membranes that help produce substances; some contain ribosomes  
🗑
ribosomes   found on ER and floating in cytoplasm - make proteins  
🗑
Golgi apparatus (bodies)   looks like flattened sacs and tubes - packages materials and distributes them to other parts of the cell - UPS  
🗑
vacuoles   larger in plants cells than animal cells - stores water, food and other materials- cell's storage compartment  
🗑
lysosomes   breaks down old cell parts and large food particles into smaller ones - cell's recycling center  
🗑
chloroplast   green structure in plant cells that captures sunlight and changes it into a form of energy that can make food  
🗑


   

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.
