🗑
The cell membrane is also called the ______ membrane   Plasma  
🗑
What separates the intracellular (inside the cell) material from the extracellular (outside the cell) material   Cell membrane  
🗑
The cell membrane can select what substances are allowed to cross it and it is said to be selectively permeable, or _________   Semipermeable  
🗑
The cell membrane is composed primarily of ______ and _______   Phospholipids and protein  
🗑
This structure contains cellular contents, is a phospholipid bilayer, and regulates what enters and leaves the cell   Cell membrane  
🗑
Surrounds and supports organelles and is the gel–like substance found inside the cell but outside the nucleus   Cytoplasm  
🗑
This type of endoplasmic reticulum is where protein is synthesized   Rough endoplasmic reticulum  
🗑
This type of endoplasmic reticulum is where lipids and steroids are made   Smooth endoplasmic reticulum  
🗑
This intracellular structure converts energy in nutrients to ATP ( power plant of the cell)   Mitochondria  
🗑
This intracellular structure packages protein in membranes   Golgi apparatus  
🗑
This structure is the site of protein synthesis   Ribosomes  
🗑
These structures contain powerful enzymes to destroy waste, bacteria, etc. Also known as the "housekeepers" of the cell   Lysosomes  
🗑
This structure provides for intracellular shape and support   cytoskeleton  
🗑
These structures separate chromosomes during mitosis   Centrioles  
🗑
These create movement over the cell surface   Cilia  
🗑
These structures allow sperm to swim   Flagella  
🗑
the control center of the cell that contains genetic information is called the ______   Nucleus  
🗑
The phospholipid bilayer that surrounds the nucleus is called the ______ membrane   Nuclear  
🗑
The gel like substance within the nucleus is called _______   nucleoplasm  
🗑
The structures inside the cell are called little organs or __________   Organelles  
🗑
The inner layer of the mitochondria that has many folds is referred to as _______   Cristae  
🗑
What structure in the cell membrane allows substances to pass that will not dissolve within the phospholipid bilayer   Pores ( holes in the membrane formed by proteins)  
🗑
Substances can be moved across the cell membrane with or without the use of energy (ATP). This is called ______ transport (without energy) and ______ transport (with energy)   Passive, Active  
🗑
Name the four types of passive transport   Diffusion, Facilitated diffusion, Osmosis, and Filtration  
🗑
Movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration is called ________   Diffusion  
🗑
The most common transport mechanism is _______   Diffusion  
🗑
A helper molecule helps move a substance from an area of high to low concentration. This is called __________   Facilitated diffusion  
🗑
Movement of water (solvent) from an area with more water to an area with less water is called __________   Osmosis  
🗑
Movement of water/dissolved substances from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure is called _________   Filtration  
🗑
Movement of a substance from low to high concentration that requires ATP is called a/an ___________   Active transport pumps  
🗑
A general term for taking in or ingestion of water or solids by the cell membrane is _______   Endocytosis  
🗑
Cellular eating. Taking in solid particles via the cell membrane   Phagocytosis  
🗑
Taking in water droplets by the cell membrane ( Cellular drinking) is called ________   Pinocytosis  
🗑
Secretion of cellular products out of the cell is called ________   Exocytosis  
🗑
When the concentrations on both sides of a membrane are the same a state called _______ has been reached   Equilibrium  
🗑
_________ is the ability of a solution to affect the volume and pressure within a cell   Tonicity  
🗑
A/an ______ solution is one in which the solution has the same concentration as the intracellular fluid   Isotonic  
🗑
If the solution has a lower concentration than that found inside a cell, the solution is said to be ________   Hypotonic  
🗑
If a solution has a higher concentration than that found inside a cell, the solution is said to be ___________   Hypertonic  
🗑
This type of cell division is involved in bodily growth and repair. It results in two identical "daughter cells"   Mitosis  
🗑
The cell cycle is divided into two major phases: ________ and _______   Interphase, mitosis  
🗑
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase are stages of ________   Mitosis  
🗑
When a cell develops it begins to specialize or _______ to produce a specific cell type   Differentiate  
🗑
What is the name of a cell that is relatively undifferentiated and whose function is the production of additional unspecialized cells   Stem cells  
🗑
A noncancerous tumor could also be called ________   Benign  
🗑
A cancerous tumor could also be called a ______ tumor   Malignant

The spreading of cancer cells is called _________   Metastasis  
🗑
Cell death is also called cell ________   Necrosis  
🗑
A decrease in the size of the cells, leading to a wasting away of tissues and organs   Atrophy

🗑


   

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.
