Cells Lesson 1

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   A widely accepted explanation of the relationship  
🗑
Cells   Basic unit of structure and function of all living thing  
🗑
Microscope   An instrument that makes small objects look larger.  
🗑
cell wall   a rigid supporting layer that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms  
🗑
cell membrane   a thin flexible barrier that surrounds a cell and controls which substances  
🗑
nucleus   an organelle cells.it also has a variety of proteins, to form chromosomes.  
🗑
organelle   A membrane-bound compartment or structure in a cell that performs a special function  
🗑
ribosome   Create proteins for the cell to live and function  
🗑
cytoplasm   the material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the nucleus.  
🗑
mitochondria   An organelle in the cytoplasm, responsible for the conversion of food to usable energy.  
🗑
endoplasmic reticulum   a network of membranous tubules within the cytoplasm has ribosomes attached and is involved in protein and lipid synthesis.  
🗑
Golgi apparatus   package and send out proteins from the er  
🗑
vacuole   a space or vesicle within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid.  
🗑
chloroplast   an organelle in the cells of plants and some other organisms that captures energy from sunlight and changes it into an energy that the cell needs to live and function  
🗑
lysosome   A cell organelle which contains chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones and that can be used by the rest of the cell.  
🗑
multicellular   made of many cells  
🗑
unicellular   made of a single cell  
🗑
tissue   A group of similar cells that perform a specific function.  
🗑
organ   A body structure that is composed of different kinds of tissue that work together.  
🗑
organ system   A group of organs that work together to perform a major function.  
🗑
element   Pure substance that cannot be broken down into another substance by chemical or physical means.  
🗑
compound   substance made up of two or more elements chemically combined in a specific ratio or proportion.  
🗑
protein   Large organic molecule that is made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur.  
🗑
carbohydrate   energy rich compound such as sugar or a starch that is made up of the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.  
🗑
lipid   an energy rich compound that is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen  
🗑
enzyme   A bio catalyst that lowers the activation in cells  
🗑
nuclite acid   A large organic molecule that is made of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and phosphorus. This contains the instructions the cell needs to carry out all the functions to live and thrive.  
🗑
deoxyribonucleic acid   Deoxyribonucleic acid, the genetic material that carries info about the organism and is passed from parent to offspring  
🗑
double helix   Shape of a DNA molecule.  
🗑
ribonucleic acid   to act as a messenger carrying instructions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins, although in some viruses RNA rather than DNA carries the genetic information.  
🗑
selectively permeable   cell membrane is one that allows certain molecules or ions to pass through it by means of active or passive transport.  
🗑
passive transport   is a movement of ions and other atomic or molecular substances across cell membranes without need of energy input  
🗑
diffusion   pertains to the spontaneous net movement of particles down their concentration gradient (i.e. difference in the concentrations of substances or molecules between two areas)  
🗑
osmosis   movement of a solvent (such as water) through a semipermeable membrane (as of a living cell) into a solution of higher solute concentration that tends to equalize the concentrations of solute on the two sides of the membrane.  
🗑
active transport   The movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane in the direction opposite that of diffusion, that is, from an area of lower concentration to one of higher concentration.  
🗑
endocytosis   A process of cellular ingestion by which the plasma membrane folds inward to bring substances into the cell.  
🗑
exocytosis   1. the transport of material out of a cell by means of a sac or vesicle that first engulfs the material and then is extruded through an opening in the cell membrane  
🗑
   
🗑


   

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.
