🗑
inter-   between  
🗑
interphase   stage that occurs between mitotic divisions of a cell  
🗑

🗑
mitosis   process of cell division when thread-like chromosomes become visible within a cell  
🗑
phag-   to eat  
🗑
phagocytosis   process by which cell takes in solid particles  
🗑
-som   body  
🗑
ribosome   tiny, spherical structure that consists of protein and RNA  
🗑
active transport   process that uses metabolic energy to move a substance across a cell membrane, usually against the concentration gradient  
🗑
apoptosis   The death of cells that occurs as a normal and controlled part of an organism's growth or development.  
🗑
cell membrane   selectively permeable outer boundary of a cell consisting of a phospholipid bilayer embedded with proteins; plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane  
🗑
centrosome   cellular organelle consisting of two centrioles  
🗑
chromosome   rod-like structure that condenses from chromatin in a cell's nucleus during mitosis  
🗑
cytoplasm   contents of a cell, excluding the nucleus and cell membrane  
🗑
cytoskeleton   A microscopic network of protein filaments and tubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells, giving them shape and coherence.  
🗑
differentiation   cell specialization due to differential gene expression  
🗑
diffusion   random movement of molecules from a higher concentration toward one of lower concentration  
🗑
endocytosis   process by which a cell membrane envelopes a substance and draws it into the cell in a vesicle  
🗑
endoplasmic reticulum   organelle composed of a system of concentrated membranous tubules and vesicles along which protein is synthesized  
🗑
equilibrium   state of balance between two opposing forces  
🗑
exocytosis   transport of substances out of a cell in vesicles  
🗑
facilitated diffusion   where carrier molecules transport substances across membranes from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower  
🗑
filtration   movement of material across a membrane as a result of hydrostatic pressure  
🗑
Golgi apparatus   an organelle that prepares cellular products for secretion  
🗑
lysosome   organelle that contains digestive enzymes  
🗑
mitochondrion   organelle that houses exzymes to catalyze reactions of aerobic respiration  
🗑
nucleolus   small structure within a cell nucleus that contains rna and proteins  
🗑
nucleus   cell organelle enclosed by double-layer, porous membrane and contains DNA, dense core of atom  
🗑
organelle   part of a cell that performs a specialized function  
🗑
osmosis   diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane in response to concentration gradient  
🗑
pinocytosis   process by which a cell engulfs droplets from its surroundings  
🗑
selectively permeable   membrane that allows some things through but not all.  
🗑

🗑
mutation   change in genetic information of a cell  
🗑

🗑
aerobic respiration   the complete, energy releasing, breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide and water in the presence of oxygen  
🗑
anticodon   three contiguous nucleotides of a transfer rna molecule that are complementary to a specific mrna codon  
🗑
codon   set of three nucleotides of a messenger rna molecule corresponding to a particular amino acid  
🗑
dehydration synthesis   anabolic process that joins small molecules by releasing the equivalent of a water molecule synthesis  
🗑
gene   portion of dna that encodes info to synthesize a protein a control sequence or trna of rrna the unit of inheritance  
🗑
hydrolysis   enzymatically adding water molecule to split a molecule into smaller portions  
🗑
oxidation   process which oxygen combines with another chemical the removal of hydrogen or the loss of electrons, opposite of reduction  
🗑
replication   reproduction of exact dna molecule  
🗑
substrate   substance which an enzyme acts upon  
🗑


   

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.
