prokaryote   unicellular organism lacking a nucleus  
🗑
organelle   specialized structure that performs important cellular functions within a eukaryotic cell  
🗑
nucleus   the center of the atom which contains the protons and neutrons; in cells, structure that contains the cell's genetic material (DNA) and controls the cell's activities

🗑
diffusion   process by which molecules tend to move from an area where they are more concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated

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.
