Question
Answer
cell   the basic unit of any living organism  
🗑
prokaryotic cells   do not have a distinct nucleus or membrane bound organelles  
🗑
eukaryotic cells   have a nucleus and organelles  
🗑
organelles   structures in cells that carry out specific functions  
🗑
cell membrane   flexible material that holds the contents of a cell; keeps bad things out of a cell and keeps the cytoplasm inside  
🗑
cell wall   found in plant cells; rigid structure made of cellulose that adds support and structure to a cell  
🗑
nucleus   the control center of the cell; where DNA is found  
🗑
cytoplasm   the gelatin like fluid that holds all of the organelles  
🗑
mitochondria   the powerhouse of the cell; digests nutrients and creates energy for the cell  
🗑
chloroplasts   found only in plants; uses sunlight to create and store glucose  
🗑
golgi body   acts like a packaging center to gather, sort and process simple molecules into more complex ones  
🗑
lysosome   contains enzymes that help break down food and remove waste  
🗑
vacuole   storage bin where water and food and waste can be stored; much larger in plants  
🗑
ribosome   proteins are built here by connecting amino acids together  
🗑
centriole   are important for cell division  
🗑
smooth endoplasmic reticulum   acts as a transportation network in a cell; does not have ribosomes attached  
🗑
rough endoplasmic reticulum   acts as a transportation network in a cell; has ribosomes attached  
🗑
nucleolus   sphere shape found inside the nucleus that helps make ribosomes for the ER  
🗑
autotroph   organism that can make its own food  
🗑
heterotroph   organism that relies on other organisms for energy  
🗑


   

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.
