Cell Organelles

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
mitochondria   organelles that are the sites of cellular respiration; 'powerhouse' of the cell  
🗑
prokaryote   A unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane bound organelles  
🗑
eukaryote   A cell that contains a nucleus and membrane bound organelles  
🗑
cell wall   A rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane and provides support to the cell  
🗑
cell membrane   A thin, flexible barrier around a cell; regulates what enters and leaves the cell  
🗑
cytoplasm   A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended  
🗑
nucleus   A part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction  
🗑
nucleolus   a region of the nucleus where ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is produced; where ribosomes are made  
🗑
central vacuole   a membrane-bound compartment in a plant cell that helps regulate the water content of the cell, store waste material, and support the cell through internal pressure  
🗑
ribosomes   small organelles, made of RNA and protein; sites of protein synthesis  
🗑
endoplasmic reticulum   a network of membranes in a eukaryotic cell (smooth ER without ribosomes attached), some with ribosomes attached (rough ER), that is interconnected with the outer nuclear membrane  
🗑
Gogli body (apparatus)   a membranous organelle of a eukaryotic cell, which manufactures or modifies, packages, sorts, and transports molecules of the cell  
🗑
lysosomes   membrane-bound organelles, usually spherical, that contain enzymes to break down molecules in eukaryotic cells  
🗑
chloroplast   An organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs  
🗑


   

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.
