Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
cell membrane (plasma membrane)   -boundary between intracellular and extracellular environments -regulates entry/exit of substances -flexible and allows the cell to vary its shape if necessary -helps maintain a chemical balance within the cell  
🗑
cell wall   -rigid structure providing support for cell -thicker than the cell membrane -inflexible -protects the cell and gives the cell its shape  
🗑
cytoplasm   -jelly-like substance filling intracellular space -contains dissolved substances  
🗑
cyto-skeleton   -network of fine tubes and threads -provides internal structural support  
🗑
centrioles   -paired rods -help organize microtubules during mitosis  
🗑
nucleus   membrane-bound structure containing cells' genetic information and support molecules  
🗑
nucleolus   -small structure within nucleus -site of production of ribosomal RNA  
🗑
nuclear membrane   -boundary between nucleus and cytoplasm -regulates passage of materials between the two  
🗑
flagella, pili, cilia   -structures used to enable movement of cells or sometimes to propel substances across outer surface of cell -predominantly protein in composition  
🗑
mitochondria   -membrane bound organelle -folded membranes contain enzymes for aerobic respiration -little DNA  
🗑
chloroplasts   -membrane bound organelle -folded membranes contain chlorophyll and enzymes for photosynthesis -little DNA  
🗑
vacuole   -membrane bound area filled with water and assorted solutes -role in maintenance of water balance of the cell  
🗑
ribosomes   -small organelles at which protein synthesis occurs -may be free floating or membrane bound  
🗑
smooth ER   -network of flattened membranes forming tunnels -enzymes assisting synthesis of some lipids -final processing of proteins  
🗑
rough ER   -ribosomes embedded in membrane -proteins to be exported from cell produced here  
🗑
Golgi body   -stacks of saucer shaped membranes where export proteins are modified and stored prior to entering secretory vesicles for exocytosis  
🗑
lysosomes   -membrane bound structure -contains enzymes, which break down toxic or unwanted molecules  
🗑
plastids   membrane bound structures with varied functions -leucoplasts=starch storage -chromo lasts=colored pigments within  
🗑
vesicles   -packages for storage -temporary transport associated with endocytosis/exocytosis  
🗑


   

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.
