        Help!  

Term
Definition
show A simple cell type lacking a membrane-bound nucleus.  
🗑
nucleus   show
🗑
cell membrane   show
🗑
show The gel-like substance within the cell, containing organelles.  
🗑
show Specialized structures within the cell that perform specific functions.  
🗑
vacuoles   show
🗑
contractile vacuole   show
🗑
show Contain digestive enzymes. "suicide organelle"  
🗑
show A network of protein filaments that provides structure and support.  
🗑
microfilaments   show
🗑
show dynamic, hollow cylindrical structures, composed of tubulin proteins, that are a key component of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells; found in centrioles  
🗑
centrioles   show
🗑
ribosomes   show
🗑
rough endoplasmic reticulum   show
🗑
smooth endoplasmic reticulum   show
🗑
Golgi apparatus   show
🗑
vesicle   show
🗑
chloroplast   show
🗑
show The powerhouses of the cell, producing energy as ATP.  
🗑
cell wall   show
🗑
show fundamental structural component of biological membranes, consisting of two layers of lipids (primarily phospholipids) and proteins  
🗑
show a membrane (like a cell membrane) that allows certain substances to pass through while restricting others  
🗑
show describes the structure of cell membranes as a flexible, dynamic mosaic of phospholipids, proteins, cholesterol, and carbohydrates  
🗑
passive transport   show
🗑
show the passive movement of molecules or particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration across a semipermeable membrane; example is gasses pass through  
🗑
facilitated diffusion   show
🗑
show specialized membrane proteins that function as water channels, facilitating the movement of water across cell membranes  
🗑
osmosis   show
🗑
show the ability of a solution to affect the volume of a cell by causing osmosis, the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane.  
🗑
show one where the concentration of solutes (dissolved substances) is equal to the concentration of solutes inside a cell. This  
🗑
show a solution that has a lower concentration of solutes than the cell it is compared to  
🗑
show a solution that has a higher concentration of solutes (and thus a lower concentration of water) compared to another solution or a cell  
🗑
osmotic pressure   show
🗑
turgid   show
🗑
show a plant cell or tissue that is soft, limp, and lacks turgor pressure. T  
🗑
show the process of a cell breaking down and dissolving, typically due to damage to its membrane or cell wall  
🗑
active transport   show
🗑
show a protein embedded in a cell membrane that uses energy to move molecules, like ions or other solutes, across the membrane against their concentration gradient  
🗑
bulk transport   show
🗑
show an active transport process where a cell's membrane engulfs external substances, forming vesicles or vacuoles that bring materials into the cell  
🗑
exocytosis   show
🗑
show the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes.  
🗑
show a specialized molecule, often a protein, that binds to a specific signaling molecule called a ligand and initiates a response within the cell  
🗑
show a eukaryotic cell that is a building block of all animal organisms.  
🗑
show a eukaryotic cell that makes up the building blocks of all plants.  
🗑
show the physical dimensions of a cell, typically measured in micrometers (μm) or nanometers (nm)  
🗑
show the total area of the outer boundary of an organism, cell, or structure, over which substances and heat can be exchanged with the environment. Relates to cell membrane  
🗑
show the three-dimensional space occupied by a cell. Relates to the cytoplasm.  
🗑
surface area to volume ratio   show
🗑
show The process by which cells reproduce.  
🗑
eukaryote   show
🗑
show The basic unit of life, composed of a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus.  
🗑
mitosis   show
🗑
show the shrinking of the protoplasm of a plant cell due to the loss of water, causing the cell membrane to detach from the cell wall  
🗑


   

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.
