|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| prokaryote | Simple cells WITHOUT a nucleus or most organelles
(DNA floats in the cytoplasm)
🗑
|
||||
| eukaryote | Complex cell with a nucleus that holds the DNA. Has organelles.
🗑
|
||||
| organelle | Parts of the cell that help the cell do certain functions
🗑
|
||||
| Golgi apparatus | modifies and packages proteins and determines where they go
🗑
|
||||
| endoplasmic reticulum | makes proteins and other molecules and transports them around cell
🗑
|
||||
| cell wall | a strong structure outside of the cell membrane that give the cell support
🗑
|
||||
| cell membrane | a selectively permeable structure that allows some things to pass in and out and not others
🗑
|
||||
| cytoplasm | jelly-like fluid inside the cell membrane. Contains water and dissolved nutrients.
🗑
|
||||
| choloroplast | organelle in PLANT cells. It's where plants make their own food (photosynthesis). They are green and make leaves green.
🗑
|
||||
| nucleus | the round part near the center of the cell.
1. It controls the cells functions and tells it what to do
2. It holds the DNA
🗑
|
||||
| DNA | genetic info passed on from parents that give the organism instructions
🗑
|
||||
| selectively permeable | selective= choosy
permeable= pass through
selectively permeable= choosy about what can pass through (not everything!)
🗑
|
||||
| central vacuole | stores a LARGE amount of water in PLANT cells
🗑
|
||||
| mitochondria (more than 1=mitochondrion) | organelle in ALL eukaryotes. Uses oxygen to break down sugar to release energy to keep cell alive.
🗑
|
||||
| ribosomes | make proteins for the cell
🗑
|
||||
| lysosomes | break down and recycle old cell parts
🗑

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.
