Question
Answer
cells   show
🗑
show inner core of the cell

show determine the overall shape of a cell and distribution of organelles  
🗑
show network of protein structures acting as cell bones and muscles, internal framework that determines cell shape

plasma membrane   show
🗑
chromatin   show
🗑
chromosomes   show

fibroblast cell   show
🗑
show carries oxygen in the bloodstream (red blood cells)  
🗑
show packed in sheets, resists tearing when the epithelium is rubbed or pulled  
🗑
show elongated and filled with contractile filaments; can shorten and move the bones or change the size of internal organs  
🗑
show produced by a large lipid droplet in cytoplasm  
🗑
macrophage (or phagocyte)   show
🗑
nerve cell   show
🗑

show moves substances into the cell  
🗑
show one or more cells that make and secrete a particular product  
🗑
endocrine gland   show
🗑
show secretes through the duct to the epithelial surface  
🗑

🗑
pinocytosis   show
🗑
passive process   show
🗑
cytokinesis   show
🗑
show formation of two nuclei with the same genes; DNA replication precendes mitosis; four phases - prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase  
🗑

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.
