🗑
Nuclear Envelope   The membrane that surrounds the nucleus  
🗑
Ribosomes   Where protein synthesis occurs  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)   Channels in the cytoplasm that transport materials  
🗑

🗑
Mitochondria   The site of cellular respiration; produces ATP  
🗑
Golgi Apparatus / Body   Packages substances in vesicles that pinch off and works closely with the rough ER to transport proteins out of the cell  
🗑
Cell Theory   1. All living things are made up of cells 2. All cells carry out their own functions 3. All cells come from pre-existing cells  
🗑
Exceptions to the Cell Theory   Viruses, Mitochondria & Chloroplasts, the first cell  
🗑
Eukaryotes   These cells have a nucleus and contain specialized organelles  
🗑
Prokaryotes   These cells have no nucleus, the DNA is clumped in the cytoplasm and do not usually have organelles  
🗑
Unicellular Organism   Single celled organism  
🗑
Multi cellular Organism   Made up of many different cells functioning together  
🗑
Cell   The smallest structure and function unit of an organism  
🗑
Tissue   Consists of specialized cells and their product  
🗑
Organ   Made up of different tissues, it is usually self-contained and has a vital function for the organism  
🗑
Organ System   A group of organs that work together to form one or more functions.  
🗑
Organism   An individual comprised of many organ systems to allow the organism to survive.  
🗑
Lysosomes   Vesicles containing digestive enzymes that is involved in digestion of food, breaking down old cell organelles and breaking down bacteria  
🗑
Vacuoles   Sac used for storage. Plant = Few Large ones Animal = Many small ones  
🗑
Food Vacuoles   Stores food  
🗑
Contractile vacuole   Stores and pumps out extra water

🗑
Move with the Gradient   From High to Low concentration  
🗑
Move against the Gradient   From Low to High concentration  
🗑
Passive Transport   No energy needed, moves from high concentration to low concentration  
🗑
Diffusion   Movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration  
🗑
Osmosis   Movement of water from a high concentration to a low concentration  
🗑
Isotonic   Equal concentration of water on outside and inside of cell; at equilibrium  
🗑
Hypertonic   More water diffusing out of the cell than in to the cell  
🗑
Hypotonic   More water diffusing into the cell than out of the cell  
🗑
Active Transport   Needs energy to move materials, moves from low concentration to high concentration  
🗑
Pinocytosis   The cell brings in small molecules or fluids into the cell  
🗑
Phagocytosis   The cell brings large molecules into the cell  
🗑


   

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.
