Term
Definition
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)   -Double membranes that fill cytoplasm -Rough has ribosomes (organelles that manufacture proteins)  
🗑
Mitochondrion   -Powerhouse of the cell -Site of respiration -Double membrane (inner have large ruffles, called cristae) -Cristae allow more glucose to be broken down and more energy (ATP) to be released -Has its own DNA and manufacture some of its own proteins  
🗑
Lysomes   -"Suicide sacks" -Produced by the Golgi body -Made of a membrane surrounding digestive enzymes -Responsible for dissolving bacteria  
🗑
Golgi body   -Packages proteins for the cell -Proteins go into sacs called cisternae and are then shipped out into the cytoplasm  
🗑
Nucleus   -HQ of the cell -Controls cell activity -Contains the nucleolus -Manufactures ribosomes -Ropy strands around nucleolus are chromatin, or DNA in its active form.  
🗑
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)   -Has little or no ribosomes -Acts as a pathway throughout the cytoplasm -Produces lipids  
🗑
Centriole   -Only found in animal cells -Function in cell division  
🗑
Cell Membrane   -Regulates all that enters and leaves the cell -Allows self recognition in multi-cellular organisms  
🗑
Organism   Anything that can live on its own  
🗑
Cell   Membrane covered structure that contains all the materials necessary for life  
🗑
Tissue   Group of cells that work together to perform a specific job  
🗑
Organ   Two or more tissues working together to perform a specific job  
🗑
Organ System   Group of organs working together (i.e. digestive, respiratory)  
🗑
Robert Hooke   Saw first cells in cork  
🗑
Anton Van Leewenhoek   First observed living cells in pond water  
🗑
Cell Theory (3 parts)   a) all organisms are composed of one or more cells b) cell is the basic unit of life in all living things c)all cells come from other cells  
🗑
Why are cells small?   Because the surface is not large enough to bring in enough nutrients or get rid of enough waste to keep the cell alive. Also, the inside grows faster than the outside. Inside is volume & outside is surface area  
🗑
Prokaryote   No nucleus to contain DNA Floats around i.e. bacteria  
🗑
Eukaryote   Has nucleus which contains DNA i.e. animal cells  
🗑
Organelles   little organs of 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.
