Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Term
Definition
Cell   the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism, typically microscopic and consisting of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane. Microscopic organisms typically consist of a single cell, which is either eukaryotic or prokaryotic.  
🗑
Cell theory   that living organisms are made up of cells, that they are the basic structural/organizational unit of all organisms, and that all cells come from pre-existing cells.  
🗑
Organelle   any of a number of organized or specialized structures within a living cell.  
🗑
Organism   an individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form  
🗑
Cytology   the branch of biology concerned with the structure and function of plant and animal cells.  
🗑
Nucleus   a dense organelle present in most eukaryotic cells, typically a single rounded structure bounded by a double membrane, containing the genetic material.  
🗑
Diffusion   the net passive movement of particles (atoms, ions or molecules) from a region in which they are in higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.  
🗑
Osmosis   when a substance crosses a semipermeable membrane in order to balance the concentrations of another substance.  
🗑
Active Trasnport   the movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane into a region of higher concentration, assisted by enzymes and requiring energy.  
🗑
Phagocytosis   phagocytes ingest or engulf other cells or particles  
🗑
Pinocytosis   the ingestion of liquid into a cell by the budding of small vesicles from the cell membrane.  
🗑
Semi-permeable   allowing certain substances to pass through it but not others, especially allowing the passage of a solvent but not of certain solutes.  
🗑
Mitochondria   a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells. They bind messenger RNA and transfer RNA to synthesize polypeptides and proteins.  
🗑
Ribosomes   a rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria. In the algae and higher plants it consists mainly of cellulose.  
🗑
Cell Wall   an infective agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat, is too small to be seen by light microscopy, and is able to multiply only within the living cells of a host.  
🗑
Viruses   a minute cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell division.  
🗑
Centrioles   a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.  
🗑
Chloroplasts   a principal taxonomic category that ranks above class and below kingdom.  
🗑
Phylum   a network of membranous tubules within the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell, continuous with the nuclear membrane. It usually has ribosomes attached and is involved in protein and lipid synthesis.  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum    
🗑


   

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.
