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. Organelle that sorts and modifies proteins from ER and prepares them for transport to specific parts of the cell.
Pasteur
Virchow
Schwann
Golgi Apparatus
2. Discovered that animal tissues are made of cells.
Lysosomes
Schwann
Schleiden
Pasteur
3. Challenged the notion of spontaneous generation by postulating that cells come from pre-existing cells.
Virchow
Schwann
Eukaryotic Cell
Domain
4. Scientist who successfully disproved spontaneous generation.
Eukaryotic Cell

8. Unique to eukaryotic cells; anchors the organelles in place in the cell - includes three types of fibers Microfilaments - microtubules and intermediate filaments.
Chloroplast
Organelle
Cytoskeleton
