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. The main sites of energy transformation in eukaryotic animal cells.
Mitochondria
Vacuole
Chloroplast
Prokaryotic
2. One of the three broad categories into which all organisms are grouped. Eukarya - Archaea - and Bacteria.
Domain
Organelle
Pasteur
Golgi Apparatus
3. This type of cell is made up of dendrites and axons.
Plasma Membrane
Virchow
Chloroplast
Nerve Cell
4. Organelle responsible for the synthesis of RNA into Proteins.
Plasma Membrane
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Virchow
Schleiden
5. Cells that do not contain membrane enclosed compartments. Single celled organsms roughly one micrometer long. Attached Flagellum gives the organism mobility.
Prokaryotic
Eukaryotic Cell
Golgi Apparatus
Vacuole
6. 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.
Pasteur
Vacuole
Chloroplast
Golgi Apparatus
7. Discovered that animal tissues are made of cells.
Pasteur
Schleiden
Virchow

9. Membrane enclosed sacs containing digestive enzymes that break down proteins - carbohydrates - and fats.
Lysosomes
Plasma Membrane
Organelle
Virchow
10. Organelle that sorts and modifies proteins from ER and prepares them for transport to specific parts of the cell.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Lysosomes
Cytoskeleton
Golgi Apparatus
11. The simplest unit of biological organization. Term coined by Robert Hooke who invented the first microscope. Basic unit of life.
Schleiden
Eukaryotic Cell
Plasma Membrane
Cell
12. Discovered that plant tissues are made of cells.
Organelle
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Eukaryotic Cell
Schleiden
13. Unique to eukaryotic cells; anchors the organelles in place in the cell - includes three types of fibers Microfilaments - microtubules and intermediate filaments.
Vacuole
Cell Wall
Cell
Cytoskeleton
14. In plant cells only - this organelle is responsible for photosynthesis

Endoplasmic Reticulum
Mitochondria
17. The barrier between cells made of a bilayer or phospholipid molecules.
Organelle
Mitochondria
Schleiden
Plasma Membrane
18. Challenged the notion of spontaneous generation by postulating that cells come from pre-existing cells.
Nerve Cell
