Question
Answer
Cell Theory   All living things are made of cells. Not including a virus. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in organisms. New cells come from existing cells.  
🗑
Organelle   A special part of a cell that does different jobs to keep a cell alive. , cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms.  
🗑
Cell (Plasma) Membrane   It surrounds the cell and protects it and regulates what enters and leaves the cell “Gatekeeper”.  
🗑
Cytoplasm   A mineral in a living celled organism that’s not including the nucleus. Holds parts of the cell and protects them.  
🗑
Nucleus   Contains DNA, genetic information, it's near the center of the cell, it is called the “Brain”.  
🗑
Chromatin   Is a way in the nucleus to make DNA take a smaller amount of space.  
🗑
Chromosomes   Contains 23 pairs. Made of DNA and proteins.  
🗑
Gene   DNA located on a chromosome. Gives you your characteristics.  
🗑
Nucleolus   Part of the cell that makes ribosomes.  
🗑
Nuclear Membrane   A double membrane that surrounds the nucleus.  
🗑
Cytoskeleton   Fiber surrounding the eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Shapes the cell and support all of its parts.  
🗑
Microtubules   Controls what goes in and out of the cell. Covers the cytoplasm.  
🗑
Microfilaments   Shapes the cell and support all of its parts.  
🗑
Mitochondria   Produces/releases energy “Powerhouse” and it's called cellular respiration.  
🗑
Cellular Respiration   Use oxygen to make smaller parts of food that make energy.  
🗑
Chloroplast   Produces food through photosynthesis and it's in the category of plant cells.  
🗑
Photosynthesis   When plants use the sun to give them food.  
🗑
Centrioles   Organelles that are in the cytoplasm of animal cells. Help with cell division.  
🗑
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum   Connected, flat sacks, and helps to make proteins.  
🗑
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum   It combines fats. Carries out the balance of carbohydrates and steroids.  
🗑
Ribosomes   Make new proteins.  
🗑
Golgi Body/Apparatus   Is from the ER and is sorted in this organelle to be shipped or moved to new places.  
🗑
Cell Wall   On the outside of the plant cells only, provides structure, and support in the category of a plant cell.  
🗑
Vacuole   They are used for storage of wastes.  
🗑
Lysosome   Digest and remove waste. Not usually in a plant cell.  
🗑
Eukaryotic Cell   Larger, has a nucleus, newer, has a cell membrane, cell wall for plant only, cytoplasm, ribosomes, DNA, protein synthesis, cellular respiration, and more parts in the cell. Plant and Animal Cells.  
🗑
Prokaryotic Cell   Smaller, does not have a nucleus, older, has a cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, DNA, protein synthesis, cellular respiration. Bacteria Cells.  
🗑
Organic Molecule   Molecules composed of both carbon and hydrogen.  
🗑
Dehydration Synthesis   The process of joining monomers together to form a polymer. This requires the removal of water.  
🗑
Hydrolysis   The process of breaking a polymer apart. This requires adding water.  
🗑
Protein Synthesis   Making proteins (TREBLAH). Nucleus holds the dna, then the ribosomes make the proteins, and lastly the golgi body packages them.  
🗑
Enzyme   A specialized protein that acts as a catalyst to speed up the rate of a chemical reaction.  
🗑
Phospholipid   Has a hydrophilic top (glycerol) and a hydrophobic bottom (fatty acids).  
🗑
Semi-Permeable   Only allows small molecules to pass freely.  
🗑
Animal Cell   Smooth endoplasmic reticulum, rough endoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasm, nucleolus, mitochondria, cell membrane, vacuole, ribosomes, lysosomes, nucleus, centrioles, and a nuclear envelope.  
🗑
Plant Cell   Vacuole, chloroplast, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, rough endoplasmic reticulum, cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, nucleolus, ribosomes, nucleus, golgi apparatus, and a nuclear envelope.  
🗑
Vesicle   Attached to Golgi Body. Transports materials.  
🗑


   

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.
