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
cell theory   the theory that states that all organisms are made of cell. all cells are produced by other living cells , and the cell is the most basic unit of life  
🗑
cytoplasm   the cell substance between the cell membrane and the nucleus, containing various particles.  
🗑
organelle   a specialized part of a cell having some specific function; a cell organ.  
🗑
prokaryotic cell   a cell lacking a nucleus  
🗑
eukaryotic cell   cells that have a nucleus  
🗑
cytoskeleton   the cytoplasmic network of protein filaments that plays an essential role in cell movement, shape, and division  
🗑
nucles   in physical science, an atom's central region, which is made up of protons and neutrons  
🗑
edndoplasmic recticulum   a system of membranes that is found in a cell's cytoplasm and that assists in the production, processing, and transport of proteins and in the production of lipids  
🗑
ribosome   a type of RNA that can act as an enzyme  
🗑
goligi apparatus   a cell organelle that helps make and package materials to be transported out of the cell  
🗑
vesicle   a small cavity or sac that contains materials in a eukaryotic cell; forms when part of the cell membrane surrounds the materials to be taken into the cell or transported within the cell  
🗑
mitochondrion   in eukaryotic cells, the cell organelle that is surrounded by two membranes and that is the site of cellular respiration, which produces ATP  
🗑
vacuole   a fluid-filled vesicle found in the cytoplasm of plant cells or protozoans  
🗑
lysosome   a cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes  
🗑
centriole   an organelle that is active during mitosis  
🗑
cell wall   a rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane and provides support to the cell  
🗑
chloroplast   an organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs  
🗑
cell membrane   a phospholipid layer that covers a cell’s surface and acts as a barrier between the inside of a cell and the cell’s environment  
🗑
phospholipid   a lipid that contains phosphorus and that is a structural component in cell membranes  
🗑
fluid mosaic model    
🗑
selective permeability    
🗑
receptor   a specialized sensory nerve that responds to specific types of stimuli  
🗑
passive transport   the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy by the cell  
🗑
diffusion   the movement of particles from regions of higher density to regions of lower density  
🗑
concentration gradient   a difference in the concentration of a substance across a distance  
🗑
osmosis   the diffusion of water or another solvent from a more dilute solution (of a solute) to a more concentrated solution (of the solute) through a membrane that is permeable to the solvent  
🗑
isotonic    
🗑
hypertonic   describes a solution whose solute concentration is higher than the solute concentration inside a cell  
🗑
hypotonic   describes a solution whose solute concentration is lower than the solute concentration inside a cell  
🗑
facilitated diffusion   the transport of substances through a cell membrane along a concentration gradient with the aid of carrier proteins  
🗑
active transport   the movement of chemical substances, usually across the cell membrane, against a concentration gradient; requires cells to use energy  
🗑
endocytosis   the process by which a cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses the particle in a vesicle to bring the particle into the cell  
🗑
phagocytosis   the process by which a cell engulfs large particles or whole cells, either as a defense mechanism or as a means to obtain food  
🗑
excocytosis   the process by which a substance is released from the cell through a vesicle that transports the substance to the cell surface and then fuses with the membrane to let the substance out  
🗑


   

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.
