Cells

Question
Answer
The Building Blocks of all life are.   Cells  
🗑
Each Cell is a minute mass of colorless substance, called   Protoplasm or Cytoplasm  
🗑
Substances outside the cell membraane are referred to as   Extracelluar  
🗑
Substances inside the cell membraane are referred to as   Intracellular  
🗑
The basic building blocks of life   The Cell  
🗑
A viscous liquid matrix that supports all internal cellular structures   Protoplasm  
🗑
Provides a medium for intracellular transport of various substances such as nutrients, signaling molecules, and proteins   Protoplasm  
🗑
Surrounds the protoplasm.Consists of fatty substances that separate the cell from its neighbor   Cell Membrane  
🗑
The fatty components of the cell membrane arranged in a double layer   Lipid Bilayer  
🗑
Consists of a complete set of neatly arranged molecules able to alter its structure, depending on the needs of the cell   Lipid Bilayer  
🗑
Particles that have a positive electrical charge   Protons  
🗑
Make up molecules.Composed of smaller particles   Atoms  
🗑
Particles that have a negative electrical charge   Electrons  
🗑
Particles that are uncharged   Neutrons  
🗑
Functions served by proteins in the lipid bilayer:   Transporters, Signal receptors, Channels,Ion channels  
🗑
Maintenance of stable internal physiologic environment   Homeostasis  
🗑
Movement of particles or solutes from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration   Diffusion  
🗑
Movement of a solvent from an area of low solute concentration to one of high concentration through a selectively permeable membrane   Osmosis  
🗑
Shrinkage of a cell that occurs when too much water moves out of the cell   Crenation  
🗑
The swelling and bursting of a cell that occurs when too much water enters the cell   Lysis  
🗑
Movement of water out of plasma across the capillary membrane into interstitial space   Filtration  
🗑
Uptake of material through the cell membrane by a membrane-bound droplet or vesicle that forms within the protoplasm of the cell   Endocytosis  
🗑
Internal structures within the cell that carry out the processes necessary for life   Organelles  
🗑
A central body embedded within the protoplasm of the cell, surrounded by the nuclear envelope   Nucleus  
🗑
Structures containing DNA, located within the nucleus.Human cells contain 23 pairs   Chromosomes  
🗑
Rounded, dense structures within the protoplasm of the nucleus   Nucleoli  
🗑
Organelles that contain RNA and protein. Ribosomes interact with RNA from other parts of the cell to join amino acids together to form proteins.   Ribosomes  
🗑
A set of membranes within the protoplasm that is associated with the formation of various carbohydrate and complex protein molecules   Golgi Complex  
🗑
Small, rod-like organelles that function as the metabolic center of the cell   Mitochondria  
🗑
Hair-like projections on the surface of a cell. Often, several are located on a cell.They act to move materials over the cell surface   Cilia  
🗑
The ongoing process of cell renewal   Remodeling  
🗑
Division of one cell into two genetically identical and equal daughter cells   Mitosis  
🗑
Groups of similar cells working togetherClassified into four types:Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, Nerve   Tissue  
🗑
Covers all of the external surfaces of the body and lines hollow organs within the bodyProvides a protective barrier   Epithelial Tissue  
🗑
Binds the other types of tissue together:Bone, Cartilage, Adipose tissue,Scar tissue   Connective Tissue  
🗑
Overlies the framework of the skeletonClassified by both structure and function   Muscle Tissue  
🗑
Types of Muscle Tissue   Skeletal muscle, Cardiac muscle, Smooth muscle  
🗑


   

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.
