Question
Answer
most cells are smaller than   0.1mm  
🗑
cells are small because nutrients pass through the _?_ to enter the cell   plasma membrane  
🗑
cells are small because nutrients pass through the plasma membrane to _?_ the cell   enter  
🗑
cells are small because wastes pass through the plasma membrane to _?_ the cell   exit  
🗑
a cell needs enough _?_ to exchange materials with its environment   surface area  
🗑
the amount of surface area (plasma membrane) affects the ability to   get materials in and out of a cell  
🗑
what happens when cells increase in size   the amount of surface area relative to volume decreases  
🗑
what happens if cells become to large   the surface area would be insufficient to service the increasing volume  
🗑
two main types of cells   prokaryotic / eukaryotic  
🗑
eukaryotic cell structures are surrounded by a semifluid medium inside the cell called   cytoplasm  
🗑
what is a nucleus   determines the cells characteristics by coding for the protiens, stores the dna  
🗑
what is a nucleoplasm   semifluid medium inside the nucleus  
🗑
what is a nucleolus   produces ribosomes  
🗑
what is a nuclear envelope   double membrane that has pores through which materials may pass  
🗑
what are ribosomes   directly synthesize protiens  
🗑
where are the ribosomes located   may be free cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum  
🗑
what is a endomembrane system   series of intracellular membranes that compartmentalize the cell  
🗑
what is a endoplasmic reticulum (ER)   consist of membranous channels and sacs  
🗑
what is a rough endoplasmic reticulum   site for protein synthesis, has ribosomes  
🗑
what is a smooth endoplasmic reticulum   lipid synthesis, detoxification and a transport to the Golgi  
🗑
what does a golgi apparatus do   (UPS) collects, sorts, packages, and distributes materials  
🗑
what does a lysosomes do   (garbage system) vessel that contains digestive enzymes that break down materials for the cell  
🗑
what does a vacuoles do   membranes sac that store substances/ water, pigment, toxins  
🗑
what does a peroxisomes do   vessels that carry out various metabolic functions by oxidizing organic compounds  
🗑
choloroplasts are found where   plants and algae  
🗑
cholorplasts contain their own   dna, ribosomes, enzymes (C)  
🗑
choloroplasts: photosynthesis   solar energy is converted into chemical energy within carbohydrates  
🗑
mitochondria is found where   all eukaryotic cells  
🗑
mitochondria contain their own   dna,ribosomes,enzymes (M)  
🗑
choloroplasts is the site of   photosynthesis  
🗑
mitochondria is the site of   cellular respiration  
🗑
mitochondria: cellular respiration   breakdown of food for energy  
🗑
cytoskeleton are   network of connected filaments and tubules that extend from the nucleus to the plasma membrane  
🗑
cytoskeleton maintains what   cell shape  
🗑
cytoskeleton assists what   movement of cell and organelles  
🗑
cytoskeleton assembles what   and disassembles as needed  
🗑
cytoskeleton has three types of macromolecular fibers   actin filaments, intermediate filaments, microtubles  
🗑
actin filament, intermediate filament and microtubles are three types of what cytoskeleton   macromolecular fibers  
🗑
centrosomes and centrioles do what   help organize part of the cytoskeleton (assemble/disassemble)  
🗑
plant cells or animals cells have centrioles   animals cells  
🗑
cilia and flagella are what   hairlike projections that aid in cell movement  
🗑
what does cilia do in the body   help material move through tubes  
🗑
in eukaryotic cells, cilia are much _?_ than flagella   shorter  
🗑


   

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.
