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. In plant cells only - this supports the cell shape and protects the cell.
Cell Wall
Schleiden
Cell
Chloroplast
2. A distinct structure or compartment within a eukaryotic cell that performs specific tasks.
Organelle
Cytoskeleton
Vacuole
Domain
3. This type of cell is made up of dendrites and axons.
Nerve Cell
Pasteur
Prokaryotic
Endoplasmic Reticulum
4. The simplest unit of biological organization. Term coined by Robert Hooke who invented the first microscope. Basic unit of life.
Pasteur
Schwann

6. Organelle that sorts and modifies proteins from ER and prepares them for transport to specific parts of the cell.
Plasma Membrane
Virchow
Schwann
Golgi Apparatus
7. One of the three broad categories into which all organisms are grouped. Eukarya - Archaea - and Bacteria.
Chloroplast
Eukaryotic Cell
Domain
Cell
8. 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.
Vacuole
Cell
Cell Wall
Eukaryotic Cell
9. Cells that do not contain membrane enclosed compartments. Single celled organsms roughly one micrometer long. Attached Flagellum gives the organism mobility.

16. Unique to eukaryotic cells; anchors the organelles in place in the cell - includes three types of fibers Microfilaments - microtubules and intermediate filaments.
Schleiden
Cytoskeleton
Cell Wall
Lysosomes
17. The main sites of energy transformation in eukaryotic animal cells.
