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 theory   1. all organisms are made of 1 or more cells 2. cells are the building blocks of life 3. all cells come from existing cells  
🗑
do hydrophobic substances have even or uneven sharing of elections?   even, meaning they are nonpolar  
🗑
What 3 things do all prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have in common?   1. plasma membrane 2. chromosomes 3. ribosomes  
🗑
do hydrophilic substances have even or uneven sharing of electrons?   uneven meaning they are polar  
🗑
what is the plasma membrane?   the plasma membrane forms a boundary between the cell and it's surroundings  
🗑
what is the general function of the phospholipid bilayer?   It controls the molecules that enter and leave the cell  
🗑
describe the head of a phospholipid   hydrophilic meaning they are polar,the heads are negatively charged because of the phosphate groups  
🗑
describe the tails of a phospholipid   hydrophobic meaning they are nonpolar. They are also fatty acids  
🗑
nonpolar   even sharing of electrons, creating no charge. A neutral molecule.  
🗑
polar   uneven sharing of electrons creating a partial charge  
🗑
what is the main difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?   Eukaryotes have a nucleus and prokaryotes do not.  
🗑
how does the significance of the chemical properties of the heads and tails have relations to how the structure of the bilayer functions?   non polar molecules can get through the bilayer, because they do not have a charge.small polar molecules can also get through the bilayer because of their size, But any large polar molecule has to go through a channel protein.  
🗑
What is one specific job the phospholipid bilayer does?   allowing certain molecules to pass through the bilayer. nonpolar and small polar molecules can pass through the the hydrophobic interior. Other large polar molecules can't pass through the interior but they can travel through the integral proteins  
🗑
what is another specific job the phospholipid bilayer does?   the carbohydrates on the bilayer (chains of sugar) are used as identification that tells the cells which cells need to go where and identifies foreign cells that need to leave.  
🗑


   

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.
