Question
Answer
Cells were found by this person when he was looking at cork under a microscope.   Robert Hooke  
🗑
The cell is the basic unit of structure and function of living things; all cells come from pre existing cells.   Cell theory  
🗑
They are the smallest unit of life that can carry out all of the activities necessary for life   Cells  
🗑
Has DNA, membrane-less ribosomes, a cell wall, cell membrane, flagella, and pili.   Prokaryote cell  
🗑
Has a nucleus, membrane-bound organelles, and cytoplasm with organelles.   Eukaryote cells  
🗑
Examples of prokaryotes   Bacteria  
🗑
Examples of eukaryotes   Plants, animals, fungi, and protists  
🗑
Are very small in size, each has specific functions, and can be found in the cytoplasm   Organelle  
🗑
Permeable; maintains homeostasis   Cell membrane  
🗑
Cell membrane are made up of   Phospholipids, proteins, cholesterol, and carbs  
🗑
Provides a medium for chemical reactions to take place   Cytoplasm  
🗑
Contains chromosomes, controls the normal activities of the cell   Nucleus  
🗑
Stores sugar, proteins, wastes, and pigments   Vacuole  
🗑
Transport system for proteins   Rough ER  
🗑
Transport system for lipids and carbs   Smooth ER  
🗑
Made of protein/RNA molecules, site of protein synthesis, not membrane bound.   Ribosomes  
🗑
Burns sugars to produce energy (ATP)   Mitochondria  
🗑
Receive and modify proteins made by the ER; transport vesicles   Golgi body  
🗑
Generate spindle fibers during cell division; only found in animal cells   Centrioles  
🗑
Contain enzymes that break down food, work out cell parts, or invaders, only found in ANIMAL cells   Lysosomes  
🗑
Made of cellulose, makes plant rigid and supports/protects the plant cell   Cell wall  
🗑
Traps sunlight to make sugar by photosynthesis, filled with pigments (like chlorophyll.)   Chloroplast  
🗑
Provides a binding site for enzymes, allows unicellular organisms to move, acts as a protective barrier and allows cell recognition   Cell/Plasma Membrane  
🗑
Contains 2 nonpolar fatty acid chains, make up the cell membrane   Phospholipids  
🗑
The phospholipid (head, tail) is polar/water loving.   Head  
🗑
The phospholipid (head, tail) is nonpolar/water fearing.   Tail  
🗑
Moves substances from HIGH to LOW concentration in a membrane, does not require energy   Passive Transport  
🗑
Moves substances from LOW to HIGH concentration in a membrane, requires energy   Active Transport  
🗑
A net movement of particles form an area of high to low concentration   Diffusion  
🗑
The diffusion of water molecules   Osmosis  
🗑
A carrier/channel protein that carries molecules across the membrane is called   Facilitated diffusion  
🗑
A substance that dissolved into another   Solute  
🗑
The more plentiful substance that dissolves the solute (often water)   Solvent  
🗑
The mixture of solutes and solvents   Solution  
🗑
How the concentrations of diluted in two solutions compare   Tonicity  
🗑
Less solute outside the cell   Hypotonic  
🗑
Same concentration of solute outside and inside the cell   Isotonic  
🗑
More solute outside the cell   Hypertonic  
🗑
Water moves to where there is...   More solute  
🗑
Pumps molecules across the membrane   Transport proteins  
🗑
Cells engulf particules   Endocytosis  
🗑
Waters are discharged out of a cell   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.
