7.12CDF Levels of Organization, Cell Organelles, Cell Theory

        Help!  

Term
Definition
CELL   Basic structural and functional unit of living organisms.  
🗑
TISSUE   Large mass of similar cells that make up a part of an organism and perform the same specific function.  
🗑
ORGAN   Large collection of similar tissue that make up a part of an organism and performs a specific and specialized function of the body.  
🗑
ORGAN SYSTEM   Composed of several organs working together to perform specific and vital functions.  
🗑
ORGANISM   Individual form of life that is capable of growing, taking in nutrients, and usually reproducing (organ systems working together); self-contained living thing.  
🗑
ORGANELLE   Tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell.  
🗑
POPULATION   Group of individuals of the same species that live in the same area.  
🗑
Cell Membrane   Thin tissue that forms the outer surface of the cytoplasm of a cell & regulates the passage of substances & materials in & out of the cell.  
🗑
Nucleus   Organelle found in eukaryotic cells that contains genetic material responsible for controlling the activities of the cell.  
🗑
Cytoplasm   Jellylike & fluid material that makes up much of a cell inside the cell membrane, surrounds the nucleus in eukaryotic cells, & in which the organelles are suspended; cyto = hollow  
🗑
Mitochondrion   Organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells that functions in energy production - power factory of the cell.  
🗑
Vacuole   Organelle that stores water & nutrients in both plant & animal cells; 1 large central unit in plant cells, but many small units in animal cells.  
🗑
Chloroplast   Green organelle in plant cells that converts light energy into chemical energy (Photosynthesis); chlor = green; plast = small particle  
🗑
Cell Wall   Rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane of a plant cell to give it support & protection.  
🗑
Photosynthesis   Chemical reaction in which plants convert radiant energy into chemical energy; also converts carbon dioxide & water into oxygen & glucose; photo = light; synthesis = combine  
🗑
CELL THEORY   Widely accepted explanation of the relationship between cells & living things; explains that the cell is the fundamental structural & functional unit of living matter.  
🗑
CELL DIVISION   Process by which a cell divides into 2 new daughter cells.  
🗑
MICROSCOPE   Device that produces magnified images of structures that are too small to see with the unaided eye.  
🗑
MICROSCOPIC   Too small to be seen except under a microscope.  
🗑


   

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.
