        Help!  

Term
Definition
scanning electron microscope   uses electrons to produce two dimensional images  
🗑
ribosomes   cell organelle consisting of RNA and protein found throughout the cytoplasm in a cell; the site of protein synthesis  
🗑
cilia   short hair-like projection that produces movement  
🗑
vacuoles   cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, protein, and carbohydrates  
🗑
cells   basic unit of all forms of life  
🗑
mitosis   part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides  
🗑
flagella   structure used by protists for movement; produces movement in a wavelike motion  
🗑
endoplasmic reticulum   internal membrane system found in eukaryotic cells; place where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled  
🗑
cytoplasm   in eukaryotic cells, all cellular contents outside the nucleus; in prokaryotic cells, all of the cells' contents  
🗑
light microscope   allows light to pass through a specimen and uses two lenses to form an image  
🗑
transmission electron microscope   use electrons to produce three dimensional images  
🗑
chromatin   substance found in eukaryotic chromosomes that consists of DNA tightly coiled around histones  
🗑
golgi apparatus   organelle in cells that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other material from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage in the cell or release outside the cell  
🗑
nucleus   the structure that contains the cell's genetic material in the form of DNA  
🗑
plasmid   small, circular piece of DNA located in the cytoplasm of many bacteria  
🗑
chloroplasts   organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy  
🗑
chromosomes   threadlike structure of DNA and protein that contains genetic information; in eukaryotes, chromosomes are found in the nucleus; in prokaryotes, they are found in the cytoplasm  
🗑
centriole   structure in an animal cell that helps to organize cell division  
🗑
cytoskeleton   network of protein filaments in a eukaryotic cell that gives the cell its shape and internal organization and is involved in movement  
🗑
nucleolus   a rounded body within the nucleus of a cell  
🗑
nuclear envelope   the double membrane surrounding the nucleus within a cell  
🗑
lysosomes   cell organelle that breaks down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins into small molecules that can be used by the rest of the cell  
🗑
cell membrane   thin, flexible barrier that surrounds all cells; regulates what enters and leaves the cell  
🗑
mitochondria   cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use  
🗑


   

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.
