SLS Bio11 Cell Biology DC

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 theory in biology that includes one or both of the statements that the cell is the fundamental structural and functional unit of living matter and that the organism is composed of autonomous cells with its properties being the sum of those of its cells.  
🗑
Chloroplast   organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy  
🗑
Chromatin   Substance found in eukaryotic chromosomes that consists of DNA tightly coiled around histones  
🗑
Cilia   Hairlike projections that extend from the plasma membrane and are used for locomotion  
🗑
Cristae   In-foldings of the inner membrane of a mitochondrion that houses the electron transport chain and the enzyme catalyzing the synthesis of ATP.  
🗑
Cytoplasm   A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended  
🗑
Eukaryotic cell   Contain a nucleus and other organelles that are bound by membranes.  
🗑
Granum   a stack of thylakoid disks within the chloroplast  
🗑
Matrix   Innermost compartment of the mitochondrion  
🗑
Cell Cycle   The regular sequence of growth and division that cells undergo  
🗑
Apoptosis   process of programmed cell death  
🗑
Crossing-Over   Process in which homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatids during meiosis.  
🗑
Diploid   Containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.  
🗑
Haploid   Having a single set of unpaired chromosomes  
🗑
Gamete   A mature haploid male or female germ cell that is able to unite with another of the opposite sex in sexual reproduction to form a zygote.  
🗑
Mitosis vs Meiosis   Mitosis is normal cell division everywhere Meiosis happens only in sex cells (gametes)  
🗑
Prokaryotic cell   cell that does not have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles.  
🗑
Stroma   In plants, the solution that surrounds the thylakoids in a chloroplast.  
🗑
Thylakoid   A flattened membrane sac inside the chloroplast, used to convert light energy into chemical energy.  
🗑
Aerobic   Process that requires oxygen  
🗑
Anabolism   Constructive metabolism; the process of building up larger molecules from smaller ones. Requires energy  
🗑
Catabolism   Metabolic pathways that break down molecules, releasing energy.  
🗑
Cellular respiration   Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen  
🗑
Citric acid cycle   A chemical cycle involving eight steps that completes the metabolic breakdown of glucose molecules to carbon dioxide; occurs within the mitochondrion; the second major stage in cellular respiration.  
🗑
Fermentation   Process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen  
🗑
Glycolysis   the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid.  
🗑
Calvin cycle   a biochemical pathway of photosynthesis in which carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using ATP  
🗑
Chlorophyll   A green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and some bacteria  
🗑
Light reaction   The first of major stages in photosynthesis. These reactions, which occur on the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast or on membranes of certain prokaryotes, convert solar energy to the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH, releasing oxygen in the process.  
🗑
Photosynthesis   Plants use the sun's energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugars  
🗑


   

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.
