🗑
Rough ER   A highly folded membrane that is the site of protein and lipid synthesis  
🗑
Cell Membrane   lipid bilayer surrounding cell, regulating what enters and exits the cell  
🗑
Cytoskeleton   A framework for the cell within the cytoplasm to help the cell and its internal parts move  
🗑
Mitochondria   Membrane-bound organelle that makes energy available to the rest of the cell  
🗑
Flagella   Long projection from cell surface which aids in locomotion and feeding; usually 1 or 2  
🗑
Cilia   Short projection from cell surface that aid in locomotion and feeding.  
🗑
Golgi Apparatus   Flattened stack of tubular membranes that modify, sort and package proteins and other substances into vesicles for distribution.  
🗑
Nucleus   Control center of the cell that contains coded directions for the production of proteins and cell division  
🗑

Vacuole   Storage sac within the cell  
🗑


   

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.
