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 responsible for the synthesis of RNA into Proteins.
Plasma Membrane
Schwann
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Virchow
2. Scientist who successfully disproved spontaneous generation.
Mitochondria
Pasteur
Plasma Membrane
Schwann
3. One of the three broad categories into which all organisms are grouped. Eukarya - Archaea - and Bacteria.
Eukaryotic Cell
Schleiden
Domain
Cytoskeleton
4. In plant cells only - this organelle is responsible for photosynthesis
Nerve Cell
Cell
Chloroplast
Plasma Membrane
5. Membrane enclosed sacs containing digestive enzymes that break down proteins - carbohydrates - and fats.
Vacuole
Golgi Apparatus
Prokaryotic
Lysosomes
6. Organelle that sorts and modifies proteins from ER and prepares them for transport to specific parts of the cell.
Cell
Golgi Apparatus
Plasma Membrane
Schwann
7. The simplest unit of biological organization. Term coined by Robert Hooke who invented the first microscope. Basic unit of life.

Plasma Membrane
Schwann
8. In plant cells only - this supports the cell shape and protects the cell.
Lysosomes
Pasteur
Cell Wall
Golgi Apparatus
9. 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.
Prokaryotic
Cell Wall
Vacuole
Eukaryotic Cell
10. Unique to eukaryotic cells; anchors the organelles in place in the cell - includes three types of fibers Microfilaments - microtubules and intermediate filaments.

14. Challenged the notion of spontaneous generation by postulating that cells come from pre-existing cells.
Virchow
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Schleiden
Golgi Apparatus
15. Cells containing membrane enclosed compartments. Typically 10-30 micrometers.
Schleiden
