Question
Answer
cells   basic unit of life  
🗑
cell therory   fundamental concept of biology; it states.... 1. All living things are composed of cells 2. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things 3. New cells are produced from existing cells  
🗑
Robert Hooke   published book that contained his drawings of sections of cork as seen through one of the first mircroscopes.  
🗑
Anton van Leeuwenhoek   observes tiny living organisms in drops of pond water through his simple microscope  
🗑
Matthias Schleiden   concludes that all plants are made up of cells  
🗑
Theodor Schwann   concludes that all animals are made up of cells  
🗑
Rudolph Virchow   proposes that all cells come form existing cells, completing the cell theory  
🗑
Lynn Margulis   proposes tha idea that certain organelles were once free-living cells themselves  
🗑
nucleus   large membrane-enclosed structure that contains the cells' genetic material (DNA); controls many of the cell's activities  
🗑
Eukaryotes   -True -Membrane -Nucleus -Organelles  
🗑
Prokaryotes   -Primitive -No membrane -No nucleus -No bound organelles -Examples: o Bacteria o Virus  
🗑
organelles   tiny organs; found in cytoplasm  
🗑
cytoplasm   cell fluid; gel substance contains tiny organs  
🗑
nuclear envelope   surrounds nucleus; composed of 2 membranes; dotted with thousands of nuclear pores;  
🗑
chromatin   can be seen in the nucleus; consistes of DNA bound to protein; most of the time is spread thought the nucleus; when cell divides, it condenses to form chromosomes  
🗑
chromosomes   distinct, thread-like structures contain the genetic information that is passes from one generation of cells to the next  
🗑
nucleolus   small, dense region inside nucleus; where the assemly of ribosomes begins  
🗑
Ribosomes   small particles of RNA and protein found throughout the cytoplasm and on RER; produce proteins by following coded insrtuction that comes from the nucleus  
🗑
endoplasmic reticulum   transfers protein in cells  
🗑
Golgi apparatus   ACTS AS MAIL BOX FOR CELL;disocered by Italian scientist Camillo Golgi; modifies, sort, and package proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage in the cell or secretion outside the cell  
🗑
lysosomes   small organelles filled with enzymes; helps with digestion, or breakdown of lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins into small molecules that can be used by the rest of the cell  
🗑
vacuoles   saclike structures that store materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates.  
🗑
mitochondria   organelles that convert the chemical energy stored in food into compunds that are more convenient for the cell to use  
🗑
chloroplasts   organelles that capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis  
🗑
cytoskeleton   a network of protein filaments that helps the cell to maintain its shape; also involved in movement  
🗑
centrioles   located near the nucleus and help to organize cell division; NOT FOUND IN PLANT CELLS!  
🗑
cell membrane   thin, flexible barrier surrounding the cell; regulates what enters and leabes the cell and provides protection and support  
🗑
cell wall   a strong supporting layer around the membrane; main function is to provide support and protection  
🗑
lipid bi-layer   the composition of nearly all cell membranes is a double-layered sheet called...  
🗑
concentration   the mass of solute in a giben volume of soultion, or mass/volume  
🗑
diffusion   the process in which particles tend to move from an area where they are more concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated  
🗑
equilibrium   when the concentration of the soulute is the same throughout a system, the system has reached.....  
🗑
osmosis   the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane  
🗑
isotonic   when he concentrations of water and sugar will be the same on both sides of the membrane  
🗑
hypertonic   "above strength"; NEED MORE  
🗑
hypotonic   "below strength"; NEED MORE  
🗑
facilitated diffusion   during THIS, molecules, such as glucose, that cannot diffuse across the cell membrane's lipid bi-layer on their own move through protein channels instead  
🗑
active transport   ????  
🗑
endocytosis   the process of takin material into the cell by means of infoldings, or pockets, of the cell membrane  
🗑
phagocytosis   when extensions of cytoplasm surround a particle and package it within a food vacuole  
🗑
pinocytosis   when cells take up liquid form the surround encironment; tiny pockets orm along the clee membrane, fill with loquid, and pinchoff to form vacuoles within the cell  
🗑
exocytosis   when cells release large amounts of material from the cell; the membrane of the vacuole surrounding the material fuses with the cell membran, forcing the contents out of the cell  
🗑
cell specialization   when cells throughout an organism can developin different ways to perform different tasks  
🗑
tissue   group of similar cells that perform a particular function  
🗑
organ   when may groups of tissues wrk together  
🗑
organ system   group of organs that work together to perform a specific function  
🗑


   

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.
