Question
Answer
Cell Theory   A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of living organisms; The activity of an organism depends on the collective activities of its cells  
🗑
Principle of complementarity   biochemical activities of cells are dictated by the relative number of their specific subcellular structures  
🗑
Cell Diversity   More than 200 different cell types; structure drives function; Differ in size and shape, function, various organelles  
🗑
Generalized cell   Nucleus, Cytoplasm, plasma membrane  
🗑
Nucleus   control center and contains genes, contains nuclear envelope, nucleoli  
🗑
Nuclear envelope   double membrane barrier with nuclear pores, and a fluid space between the two membranes allowing some but not all substances to pass, encloses the nucleoplasm  
🗑
Nucleoli   where ribosomes are assembled  
🗑
Chromatin   DNA and protein mix  
🗑
Cytoplasm   the site of most cellular activities containing cytosol, organelles and inclusions  
🗑
Cytosol   semitransparent fluid that suspends other elements  
🗑
Organelles   metabolic machinery, synthesize proteins, package proteins, etc.  
🗑
Mitochondria   carry out reactions using oxygen to break down foods, produce ATP  
🗑
Ribosomes   site of protein synthesis  
🗑
Rough endoplasmic reticulum   Cell’s membrane factory  
🗑
Endoplasmic reticulum   Provides a network of channels for carrying substances  
🗑
Smooth ER   lipid metabolism and detoxification of drugs and pesticides  
🗑
Golgi apparatus   traffic director for cellular proteins, modifies and packages proteins  
🗑
Lysosomes   digest waste material  
🗑
Peroxisomes   contains enzymes that use molecular oxygen to detoxify harmful or poisonous substances, disarm dangerous free radicals, reactive chemicals that can scramble the structure of proteins  
🗑
Cytoskeleton   protein fibers; cilia; flagella  
🗑
Cilia   immobile, have tails, that move stuff  
🗑
Flagella   mobile and propel stuff through cells  
🗑
Inclusions   stored nutrients  
🗑
Plasma membrane   the cell membrane that controls what enters and exits the cell  
🗑
Tight junctions   impermeable  
🗑
Desmosomes   anchoring junctions  
🗑
Gap junctions   allow communication  
🗑


   

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.
