Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.
This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Discovered that animal tissues are made of cells.
Schwann
Lysosomes
Cytoskeleton
Organelle
2. In plant cells only - this supports the cell shape and protects the cell.
Nerve Cell
Eukaryotic Cell
Chloroplast
Cell Wall
3. The main sites of energy transformation in eukaryotic animal cells.
Eukaryotic Cell
Mitochondria
Cytoskeleton
Cell
4. A distinct structure or compartment within a eukaryotic cell that performs specific tasks.
Pasteur
Cytoskeleton
Organelle
Prokaryotic
5. Discovered that plant tissues are made of cells.
Pasteur

Vacuole
Schleiden
6. Membrane enclosed sacs containing digestive enzymes that break down proteins - carbohydrates - and fats.

Domain
Virchow
7. This type of cell is made up of dendrites and axons.

8. Challenged the notion of spontaneous generation by postulating that cells come from pre-existing cells.
Virchow
Prokaryotic
Mitochondria
Nerve Cell
9. The simplest unit of biological organization. Term coined by Robert Hooke who invented the first microscope. Basic unit of life.
Cell
Prokaryotic
Schwann
Vacuole
10. Organelle that sorts and modifies proteins from ER and prepares them for transport to specific parts of the cell.
Organelle
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Golgi Apparatus
Lysosomes
11. In plants only - a membrane enclosed region that serves as a toxic waste dump. The deterioration of these hastens the death of the cell and the plant.
