Question
Answer
Chromatin   is a mass of genetic material composed of DNA and proteins that condense to form chromosomes  
🗑
Cell   the basic biological unit of living organisms containing a nucleus and a variety of organelles enclosed by a limiting membrane.  
🗑
Cilia   tiny hair-like projections on cell surfaces that move in a wavelike manner  
🗑
Lysosomes   organelles that originate from the Golgi apparatus and contain strong digestive enzymes  
🗑
Microvilli   the tiny projections on the free surfaces of some epithelial cells, increase surface area for absorption  
🗑
Mitochondria   the rod like cytoplasmic organelles responsible for ATP generation for cellular activities  
🗑
Nucleolus   sperical body within the nucleus, composed of protein, DNA, and RNA, that functions in the synthesis and storage of ribosomal RNA  
🗑
Nucleus   a dense central body in most cells containing the genetic material  
🗑
Organelles   specialized structure in a cell that perform specific metabolic functions  
🗑
Peroxisomes   organelle similar to lysosomes that contains enzymes that use molecular oxygen to oxidize various organic compounds  
🗑
Plasma membrane   membrane that encloses cell contents, regulates what enters and leaves the cell  
🗑
Ribosomes   an organelle in the cytoplasm of cells that synthesizes proteins  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)   a network of channels running through the cytoplasm of a cell that serves in intracellular transportation, storage, synthesis, and packing of molecules  
🗑
Smooth ER   type of endoplasmic reticulum involved with the production of lipids (fats), building blocks for carbohydrate metabolism, and the detoxification of drugs and poisons  
🗑
Rough ER   type of endoplasmic reticulum, covered in ribosomes, involved mainly with the production and processing of proteins that will be exported, or secreted, from the cell.  
🗑


   

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.
