Parts of the cell and functions

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

Term
Definition
Cell Wall   Only located in plant cells. Surrounds cell and gives the cell structure and support.  
🗑
Cell Membrane   Surrounds the cell; acts as a barrier that allows substances to pass in and out of the cell.  
🗑
Cytoplasm   Jelly-like substance outside of the nucleus where all of the organelles are contained.  
🗑
Flagellum   Whip-like tail that helps unicellular organisms move.  
🗑
Cilia   Hair-like projections that help unicellular organisms move (also located in our lungs, esophagus, and nose).  
🗑
Ribosomes   Where protein synthesis takes place; made in the nucleolus.  
🗑
Oral Groove   The cilia sweep food particles into this part of the paramecium before travelling to the gullet.  
🗑
Lysosomes   Small, round vesicles that contain enzymes that digest cell nutrients.  
🗑
Food Vacuoles   Storage pocket for food in paramecium.  
🗑
Contractile Vacuoles   Storage pocket for water in paramecium and Euglena.  
🗑
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)   Transports materials throughout the cell and produces lipids (fats).  
🗑
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)   Transports materials throughout the cell and produces proteins; ribosomes attach to it.  
🗑
Golgi Bodies   Sort and package materials such as proteins and carbohydrates into vesicles to be delivered to certain parts of the cell.  
🗑
Mitochondria   Powerhouse of the cell; produce ATP (energy) for the cell to use.  
🗑
Chloroplast   Only found in plant cells; convert light energy of the sun into sugars that can be used by cells.  
🗑
Vacuoles   Vesicles in the cell that store nutrients, waste, or water.  
🗑
DNA   Contains the genetic material and information of the cell.  
🗑
Nucleolus   Where ribosomes are made.  
🗑
Anal pore   Pore through which all waste exits the paramecium  
🗑


   

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.
