cells   the smallest functional and structural unit of all living organisms.  
🗑
parts of cells   Nucleus, cytoplasm and a membrane.  
🗑
true   All living things are made of cells.  
🗑
Robert Hooke   First scientist to study cells with a microscope.  
🗑
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek   Studied cells also and was first to study bacteria under a microscope. Studied animals  
🗑
Cell Theory   all organisms are made of one or more cells, the cell is the basic unit of life, and all cells come from existing cells.  
🗑
False   Cells can be seen with the naked eye.  
🗑
Small cell size   The area of a cell's surface limits the cell size  
🗑
Cell membrane   A phospholipid layer that covers a cell's surface; it acts as a barrier between the inside of a cell and the cell's environment. Separates cell from environment.  
🗑
cytoplasm   liquid portion of the inside of a cell  
🗑
organelle   one of the small bodies in a cell's cytoplasm that are specialized to perform a specific function.  
🗑
DNA   the genetic material  
🗑
nucleus   in a eukaryotic cell, a membrane bound organelle that contains the cell's gentic material called DNA and that has a role in processes such as growth metabolism, and reproduction.  
🗑
Two types of cells   Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes  
🗑
Prokaryotes   single celled organisms that do not have a nucleus or membrane bound organelles.  
🗑
Eukaryotes   cells that have a nucleus.  
🗑
bacteria   The most common type of prokaryote and are the smallest cells known to man.  
🗑
Characteristics of Bacteria   No nucleus, they do have DNA, and contain ribosomes.  
🗑
ribosomes   tiny round organelles made of protein and other material.  
🗑
Types of Prokaryotes   Bacteria and Archae  
🗑
Three types of Archea prokaryotic cells   heat loving, salt loving and methane making.  
🗑
Methane   kind of gas found in a swamp  
🗑
extremophiles   live in places of extreme conditions  
🗑
True   Eukaryotic cells are larger than prokaryotic cells.  
🗑
Characteristics of Eukaryotic cells   have a nucleus, membrane bound organelles, and some are multicellular.

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.
