Term
Definition
Cytoplasm   gel-like substance inside the cell, where cell processes (chemical reactions) occur, 80% water.  
🗑
Lysosome   Cell's landfill, digest food molecules, cell waste, and worn out cell parts.  
🗑
Cell Wall   Tough structure that surrounds and protects plant cells, gives cell shape, made of cellulose.  
🗑
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum   That portion of the endoplasmic reticulum studded with ribosomes  
🗑
Nucleolus   Manufactures the proteins that make up the ribisomes, round in the nucleus.  
🗑
Cilia   A short cellular appendage specialized for locomotion, formed from a core of nine outer doublet microtubules and two inner single microtubles ensheathed in an extension of plasma membrane.  
🗑
Golgi complex   Manufactures the proteins that make up the ribsomes, found in the nucleus  
🗑
Vacuole   Temporarily stores food, water, waste; rather large in plant cells  
🗑
Plasma membrane   Cells security system, surrounds and protects the cell, controls what enters and exits the cell.  
🗑
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum   Breaks down toxins and is free of ribsomes  
🗑
Mitochondria   Cell energy dam, stores and releases cell's energy. "powerhouse"  
🗑
Cytoskeleton   Framework for the cell, helps to maintain shape or change shape of cell  
🗑
Flagella   A long cellular appendage specialized for locomotion, formed from a core of nine outer doublet microtubles and two inner single microtubles, in-sheathed in an extension of plasma membrane.  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum   Cell's railroad track, moves material around in the cell, smooth-no ribosomes, rough-has ribosomes  
🗑
Chloroplast   Green organelle, in plant cells, photosynthesis, captures energy from the sun to make glucose.  
🗑
Nucleus   Control center of cell, contains directions for the entire cell, DNA is found here. Surrounded by a nuclear membrane  
🗑
Ribosome   Protein factories, makes proteins, some float freely in the cytoplasm and others are attached to the ER  
🗑


   

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.
