Term
Definition
lysosome   The digestion machine. Can break down foreign material. Can even destroy a cell (ANIMAL)  
🗑
Centrosome   During cell division (mitosis) this organelle divides and two parts move to opposite sides (ANIMAL AND PLANT)  
🗑
Golgi body   Packages proteins and carbohydrates for export from the cell. Shaped like 5 - 8 pancakes (ANIMAL AND PLANT)  
🗑
Vacuole (ANIMAL)   Several small bubbles that store fluid and fuid  
🗑
Vacuole (PLANT)   Surrounded by a membrane and filled with fluid. Takes up most of a plant cell  
🗑
Flagella   Small tail that helps o move a certain type of cell (ANIMAL)  
🗑
Ribosomes   Produces proteins. Builds muscle, hair, and tissue (ANIMAL AND PLANT)  
🗑
Photosynthesis   Process in which plants make their own food (PLANT)  
🗑
Nucleus   The "brain" of the cell that controls eating, movement, and reproduction (ANIMAL AND PLANT)  
🗑
Rough ER   Covered in ribosomes and helps transport materials through cell (ANIMAL AND PLANT)  
🗑
Smooth ER   Tubes that transport materials through the cell (no ribosomes) (ANIMAL AND PLANT)  
🗑
Cell wall   Thick and rigid layer of protein that gives plant support and structure (PLANT)  
🗑
Mitochondrion   "Powerhouse" of the cell. Breaks down food and releases energy (ANIMAL AND PLANT)  
🗑
Chloroplasts   The site of photosynthesis, contains chlorophyll that makes plants green (PLANT)  
🗑
Amyloplast   Found only in some plants. Stores starch (PLANT)  
🗑
Cell membrane   Protects the cell. Semipermeable and works like a screen. Lets in good nutrients and keeps out bad (ANIMAL AND PLANT)  
🗑
Nuclear membrane   Surrounds and protects the nucleus (ANIMAL AND PLANT)  
🗑
Cytoplasm   Jelly-like fluid that fills a cell. Clear and viscous (ANIMAL AND PLANT)  
🗑
Nucleolus   Is located in the nucleus and stores DNA templates (ANIMAL AND PLANT)  
🗑


   

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.
