A study game to review cell organelles

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
Ribosome   Small particles which are found individually in the cytoplasm and also line the membranes of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. It produces protein. They could be thought of as "factories" in the cell.  
🗑
Chloroplast   An important aspect of photosynthesis  
🗑
Nucleus   The "control center" of the cell, for cell metabolism and reproduction.  
🗑
Mitochondria   Often referred to as the "powerhouse" of the cell it releases food energy from food molecules to be used by the cell. This process is called respiration.  
🗑
Lysosome   Small sac-like structures surrounded by a single membrane and containing strong digestive enzymes which when released can break down worn out organelles or food  
🗑
Vacuole   Fluid filled organelles enclosed by a membrane. They can store materials such as food, water, sugar, minerals and waste products.  
🗑
Cell Membrane   Separates the cell from its external environment, and is selectively permeable (controls what gets in and out). It protects the cell and provides stability  
🗑
Cell Wall   A rigid organelle composed of cellulose and lying just outside the cell membrane. It gives the plant cell it's box-like shape. it also protects the cell.  
🗑
Cytoplasm   Organelles are found here and substances like salts may be dissolved  
🗑
Golgi Bodies   Stacks of flattened membranous stacks (they look like pancakes!). Temporarily stores protein which can then leave the cell via vesicles pinching off from the Golgi.  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)   A network of membranous canals filled with fluid. They carry materials throughout the cell. This is the "transport system" of the cell.  
🗑


   

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.
