🗑
Leewenhoek discovered what type of organisms?   protists and bacteria  
🗑
What scientist discovered animal cells?   Theodore Schwann (?)  
🗑
The 3 parts of the cell theory are:   1. All organisms are made of one or more cells. 2. The cell is the basic unit of all living things. 3. All cells come from existing cells  
🗑
The fluid inside a cell is called…..?   cytoplasm  
🗑
The protective layer that covers the cell is…..?   cell membrane  
🗑
What are organelles?   Tiny organ like structures that are specialized to perform a specific functions  
🗑
What is DNA?   genetic material that passes on inherited characteristics  
🗑
DNA is protected inside of what?   The nucleus  
🗑
Explain the differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.   prokaryotes - no nucleus; small/ single-celled organism: eukaryotes - has nucleus; multi-celluar organisms  
🗑
What are the two types of prokaryote cells?   eubacteria and archebacteria  
🗑
Explain the differences between unicellular and multicellular.   Unicellular is one cell, multicellular is more than one cell  
🗑
Cell walls are found in what types of organisms?   plants and algae  
🗑
The site of protein synthesis.   ribosomes  
🗑
Used to assist a cell in production, processing and transport of proteins   ER - endoplasmic recticulum  
🗑
What does the mitochondria do for the cell?   Provides energy  
🗑
What type of organism will you find a chloroplast in?   A plant.  
🗑
The organelle that produces energy from the sun.   A chloroplast  
🗑
Cell organelle that helps make and package materials to be transported out of the cell.   Golgi complex  
🗑
The structure that surrounds material so the cell can move items in and out of the cell.   vacuole  
🗑
What does the lysosome do for a cell?   It digests food particles, wastes, cell parts, and foreign invaders  
🗑
The organelle that stores water and other materials.   Vacuoles  
🗑
List the four levels of organization from simplest to complex.   Cell - tissue- organ - organ system  
🗑
The DNA of a cell is organized into structures called….?   chromosomes  
🗑
List the three stages of the cell cycle   Interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis  
🗑
What stage of the life cycle does cell division happen?   cytokinesis  
🗑
What stage of the life cycle does DNA copying happen?   interphase  
🗑
What stage of the life cycle does a cell produce two new nucleus?   mitosis  
🗑
List the four pauses of mitosis in order   prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase (PMAT)  
🗑
Describe what happens during prophase.   Mitosis begins; nuclear membrane dissolves; chromosomes condense into rodlike structures  
🗑
Describe what happens during metaphase..   chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell - homologous chromosomes pair up  
🗑
Describe what happens during anaphase.   chromatids separate and move to opposite sides of the cell  
🗑
Describe what happens during telophase.   nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes, and the chromosomes unwind - mitosis is complete  
🗑


   

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.
