        Help!  

Term
Definition
Cytology   A branch of biology that studies the structure and function of plant and animal cells.  
🗑
Cell   The basic unit of structure & function in all living things.  
🗑
Organelle   The structures inside the cell that act as specialized organs  
🗑
Organism   Refers to any individual living thing that can react to stimuli, reproduce, grow, and maintain homeostasis  
🗑
Unicellular   Single celled organism  
🗑
Multicellular   Having or consisting of many cells or more than one cell to perform all vital functions.  
🗑
Prokaryotic   A type of cell lacking a membrane-enclosed nucleus and other membrane-enclosed organelles; found only in the domains Bacteria and Archaea.  
🗑
Prokaryotes   Cells that have genetic material that is NOT contained in a nucleus  
🗑
Eukaroytic   A type of cell that has a membrane-enclosed nucleus and other membrane-enclosed organelles. All organisms except bacteria and archaea are composed of eukaryotic cells.  
🗑
Eukaryotes   Cells that contain a nucleus in which their genetic material is separated from the rest of the cell.  
🗑
Cell theory   All living things are composed of cells. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things. New cells are produced from existing cells.  
🗑
Virus   a small infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of other organisms.  
🗑
Tissues   Any of the distinct types of material of which animals or plants are made, consisting of specialized cells and their products.  
🗑
Organs   A group of tissues in a living organism that have been adapted to perform a specific function.  
🗑
Diffusion/Passive transport   The diffusion of particles or substances across the cell membrane without the use of energy.  
🗑
Osmosis   Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.  
🗑
Active transport   Energy requiring process that moves material across the cell membrane against a concentration gradient. For example: from a lower concentration to a higher concentration.  
🗑
Semi-permeable   Especially allowing the passage of a solvent but not of certain solutes.  
🗑
Phagocytosis   Cellular eating  
🗑
Pinocytosis   Cellular drinking  
🗑


   

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.
