Question
Answer
what are the 6 functions of cells   1. basic unit of life 2. protection and support 3. movement 4. communication 5. cell metabolism and energy release 6. inheritance  
🗑
what are organelles   specialized part of a cell performing one or more specific function  
🗑
what are cell membranes/ plasma membranes   outermost component of a cell. encloses cytoplasma and forms the boundary between material inside the cell and material outside it.  
🗑
what are extracellular substances?   substances outside the cell  
🗑
what are intracellular substances   substances inside the cell  
🗑
what are mosaic models   model used to show the structure and function of the cell membrane  
🗑
what is a nucleus   usually near the center of the cell. contains DNA, nucleoli. site of ribosome and mRNA synthesis.  
🗑
what is a Rough endoplasmic Reticulum   in cytoplasm. many ribosomes attached to ER. site of protein synthesis  
🗑
what are Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulums   in cytoplasm. site of lipid synthesis  
🗑
what is a Golgi Apparatus   in cytoplasm. modifies protein structures and packages proteins in secretory vesicles.  
🗑
what is a Lysosomes   in cytoplasm. contains enzymes that digest material taken into the cell.  
🗑
what is a mitochondrion   in cytoplasm. site of aerobic respiration and the major site of ATP synthesis  
🗑
what is a microtubules   in cytoplasm. supports cytoplasm. assists in cell division and forms components of cilia and flagella.  
🗑
what is a cilia   on cell surface with many on each cell. cilia move substances over surface of certain cells  
🗑
what is a flagella   on sperm cell surface with one per cell. propels the sperm cells  
🗑
what is a microvilli   extensions of cell surface with many on each cell. increase surface area of certain cells.  
🗑
what is a ribosomes   organelles where proteins are produced  
🗑
what is a cytoskeleton   consists of proteins that support the cell, hold organelles in place and enable the cell ot change shape.  
🗑
what are four ways molecules can pass through the cell membrane   1. moves through phospholipids membrane 2. carrier molecules brings things in/out 3. through the membrane channels 4. through vesicles  
🗑
what is a solution   solid, liquid, or gas consisted of one or more substances  
🗑
what are solutes   substances that are dissolved  
🗑
what is a solvent   the substance that does the dissolving  
🗑
what is diffusion   movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration  
🗑
what is the concentration gradient   measure of the difference in the concentration of solute in a solvent  
🗑
what is osmosis   process by which water molecules diffuse across a cell membrane from high concentration to low concentration  
🗑
what is osmotic pressure    
🗑
what is hypotonic   low solute concentration inside of a cell  
🗑
what is isotonic   concentration of solutes is equal both inside and outside of the cell  
🗑
what is hypertonic   high solute concentration inside of the cell  
🗑
what is faciliated diffusion   larger molecules use carrier protein to help them pass through the cell membrane  
🗑
what is active transport   transports that require energy  
🗑
what is the sodium potassium pump   pump used to move sodium and potassium ions from areas of low concentration to high concentration

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.
