Question
Answer
39 inches   1 meter  
🗑
1/100 or 0.01 meter   1 centimeter  
🗑
1/1000 or 0.001 meter   1 millimeter  
🗑
1/1,000,000 or 0.000001 meter   1 micrometer  
🗑
1/1,000,000,000 or 0.000000001 meter   1 nanometer  
🗑
1/10,000,000,000 or 0.0000000001 meter   1 angstrom  
🗑
Basic unit of structure and function in all living things.   cells  
🗑
science that investigates the formation, structure and function of cells.   cytology  
🗑
Outer boundary of the cell   cell membrane  
🗑
Watery solution of minerals, gases and organic molecules that is found between the cell membrane and nucleus.   cytoplasm  
🗑
Suspended in cytoplasm in or near the center of the cell   nucleus  
🗑
functional substances “all the structures” in the cytoplasm   organelles  
🗑
Site of ATP production and storage   mitochondria  
🗑
Cell respiration takes place here = energy production   mitochondria  
🗑
Contains nucleolus - small sphere shaped body which contains ribosomes made of RNA and protein. (Ribosomes help with protein synthesis and RNA carries the instructions for protein synthesis out of the nucleolus into the cytoplasm).   nucleus  
🗑
Selectively permeable - permits entrance and exit of some materials while excluding the transfer of other substances.   cell membrane  
🗑
Responsible for reproduction (division) of the cell   nucleus  
🗑
Stores and packages secretions for discharge from the cell   golgi apparatus  
🗑
Involved in carbohydrate manufacturing   golgi apparatus  
🗑
Contain digestive enzymes that will destroy old worn out, damaged cells, bacteria or foreign matter   lysosomes  
🗑
Contribute to the process of inflammation   lysosomes  
🗑
Oval sacs   lysosomes  
🗑
Site of protein synthesis   ribosomes  
🗑
Roadway for transportation of materials used within the cells   endoplasmic reticulum  
🗑
ribosomes attached   rough er  
🗑
cholesterol synthesis and fat metabolism occur   smooth er  
🗑
Sweep materials across cell surfaces   cilia  
🗑
Provides motility for sperm cell   flagella  
🗑
Cells divide for growth and maintenance   mitosis  
🗑
Is a continual process with 5 stages or phases   mitosis  
🗑
Process of cell division of the sex cells   meiosis  
🗑
The egg of the female and the sperm of the male each reduce their number of chromosomes by half = 23   meiosis  
🗑
Movement of molecules from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration   diffusion  
🗑
Involves passive transport, no energy is required for this to occur   diffusion/osmosis  
🗑
Movement of water or any other dissolved particle through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration of a solution to an area of lower concentration of a solution.   osmosis  
🗑
have an equal amount of solutes and water, so the osmotic pressure is equal and there is no movement of water.   isotonic solution  
🗑
contain less solutes so water will move into a cell to disperse the concentration   hypotonic solution  
🗑
contains more solutes so water will move to dilute the concentration   hypertonic solution  
🗑
Water and material move from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure. The size of the membrane pore determines which molecules are to be filtered   filtration  
🗑
Involves passive transport, can occur using blood pressure or gravity   filtration  
🗑
Involves active transport, energy is required for this process, ATP is the energy used   facilitated diffusion  
🗑
Carrier enzyme moves material into cells from an area of less concentration to an area of higher concentration, where they DON”T want to go   facilitated diffusion  
🗑
White blood cells engulf and destroy pathogens by this process   phagocytosis  
🗑
Cells engulf a large particle like a “Pac Man” and destroy them   phagocytosis  
🗑
This process involves a substance in solution, which is engulfed by the cell membrane   pinocytosis  
🗑
Kidney cells absorbs protein   pinocytosis  
🗑
Control the activities of the cell and facilitate cell division   nucleus  
🗑
A clear, semi-liquid medium that fills the spaces around the chromatin and the nucleoli   nucleoplasm  
🗑
Reservoir for RNA   nucleolus  
🗑
Contains two centrioles that are functional during animal cell division   centrosome  
🗑
Enzymes oxidize cell substances   perioxisomes  
🗑
Forms internal framework   cytoskeleton  
🗑
Method by which large molecules can enter the cell   pinocytic vesicles  
🗑
phase 1   Interphase  
🗑
phase 2   Prophase  
🗑
phase3   Metaphase  
🗑
phase 4   Anaphase  
🗑
phase 5   Telophase  
🗑
necrosis/ apoptosis   cell death  
🗑


   

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.
