Parts of a Cell

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
Cell Membrane   Thin, flexible layer that surrounds the cell and controls the movement of substances that go in and out of the cell  
🗑
Cell Wall   Surrounds, protects and supports the plant cell. This organelle is not flexible.  
🗑
Centrioles   Helps with the process of mitosis and help in the formation of spindle fibers. This organelle is found in pairs.  
🗑
Chloroplast   Converts sunlight into sugar that can be used as energy by the plant. This is where photosynthesis takes place.  
🗑
Cytoskeleton   Provides structural framework for supporting the shape of the cell,. This organelle is located throughout the cytoplasm of a cell.  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum   Site of protein and lipid synthesis  
🗑
Golgi Apparatus   Modifies and packages proteins so that they can be sent to different parts of the cell  
🗑
Lysosome   Using digestive enzymes, this organelle breaks down excess or worn out cellular substances  
🗑
Mitochondria   Performs cellular respiration - it takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and releases them as energy in the form of ATP  
🗑
Nucleus   "Brain" of the cell, site for genetic transcription, controls DNA replication for cell division  
🗑
Ribosome   tRNA is delivered to this organelle during protein synthesis  
🗑
Vacuole   stores materials so that they can be used later.  
🗑
Cilia   Small, hair like structures that extend from the surface of the cell and can help in movement and feeding. A cell can have hundreds or thousands of these hair like structures.  
🗑
Flagella   Single, large structure that helps move the cell faster, and can aid in feeding.  
🗑
Cytoplasm   Jelly-like substance that fills the inside of the cell and holds organelles in place  
🗑


   

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.
