Question
Answer
What characteristics do living things share?   reproduce, grow and develop, need energy, respond to stimuli (move), have cells  
🗑
What is an organism?   any living thing  
🗑
Organelle   small parts of a cell  
🗑
Cell   smallest part of livinv things  
🗑
Prokaryotic Cell   example is bacteria. Cell that does NOT have a membrane around its nucleus  
🗑
Eukaryotic cell   plants and animals. Cells that HAVE membranes around their nucleus  
🗑
Cell membrane   lets things in/out of the cell  
🗑
Cell wall   in a plant cell only; offers protection and support for the plant cell  
🗑
Nucleus   the "boss" of the cell that directs the activities of the cell  
🗑
chromosomes or DNA   genetic material that make us who we are; found in the nucleus  
🗑
Cytoplasm   gel-like fluid in the cell  
🗑
chloroplast   organelle that uses sun's energy in a plant cell only to create food  
🗑
Vacuole   in both plants and animals but much larger in the plant; stores water, nutrients and waste  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)   transportation channels in the cell  
🗑
Golgi Bodies   packages, arranges, organizes things to go outside of the cell  
🗑
What is the difference between smooth and rough ER?   Rough ER has ribosomes on it  
🗑
What 2 places in the cell are ribosomes found?   in the cytoplasm floating around and on the rough ER  
🗑
What is chlorophyll?   the green chemical, or pigment, that makes leaves green. Exists in the chloroplasts of plant cells  
🗑
Nucleolus   center pit of the cell  
🗑
What do plant cells have that animal cells do not?   cell wall, chloroplast, and larger vacuoles  
🗑
How does a cell's shape match its function   Lots of cells are shaped for their job. Red blood cells look like fun innertubes, nerve cells have long tendrils coming off them, plant cells are rigid  
🗑
Mitochondria   powerhouse of the cell; converts food and other materials into energy for the cell's processes  
🗑
What 3 parts do all cells have?   nucleus, cell membrane, and cytoplasm  
🗑


   

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.
