Cell Structure   (blank)  
🗑
Cell structure   the cell consists of a mass of cytoplasm surrounded by a cell membrane; the cytoplasm contains a fluid called the cytosol and a number of microscopic structures called organelles.  
🗑
Membranous Organelles:   (blank)  
🗑
Nucleus   large chromosome-containing organelle where the genes reside and where the genetic information for protein synthesis is found; surrounded by a two-layer nuclear membrane; composed of DNA and histone protein.

🗑
Molecular Movement:   (blank)  
🗑
Diffusion   the movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration; usually takes place with small, inorganic ions and lipid-soluble materials.  
🗑
Facilitated-diffusion   the movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration assisted by carrier molecules; takes place with gluclose and ammino acids during flow accross the cell membrane.  
🗑
Osmosis   the diffusion of water molecules accross a semipermiable membrane from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration; occurs only with water.

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.
