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 plant tissues are made of cells.
Schleiden
Nerve Cell
Organelle
Golgi Apparatus
2. One of the three broad categories into which all organisms are grouped. Eukarya - Archaea - and Bacteria.
Mitochondria
Domain
Prokaryotic
Schleiden
3. Challenged the notion of spontaneous generation by postulating that cells come from pre-existing cells.
Pasteur
Virchow
Schleiden
Golgi Apparatus
4. Membrane enclosed sacs containing digestive enzymes that break down proteins - carbohydrates - and fats.
Eukaryotic Cell
Plasma Membrane
Pasteur
Lysosomes
5. The main sites of energy transformation in eukaryotic animal cells.
Mitochondria
Nerve Cell
Plasma Membrane
Chloroplast
6. Unique to eukaryotic cells; anchors the organelles in place in the cell - includes three types of fibers Microfilaments - microtubules and intermediate filaments.
Plasma Membrane
Cell Wall
Cytoskeleton
Vacuole
7. 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.
Chloroplast
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Vacuole
Pasteur
8. Cells containing membrane enclosed compartments. Typically 10-30 micrometers.
Eukaryotic Cell
Lysosomes
Domain
Plasma Membrane
9. Organelle responsible for the synthesis of RNA into Proteins.
Endoplasmic Reticulum

Cell Wall
Nerve Cell
10. The barrier between cells made of a bilayer or phospholipid molecules.
Lysosomes
Cytoskeleton
Plasma Membrane
Organelle
11. In plant cells only - this supports the cell shape and protects the cell.
Cell Wall
Cell
Domain
Prokaryotic
12. The simplest unit of biological organization. Term coined by Robert Hooke who invented the first microscope. Basic unit of life.
Organelle
Cell
Mitochondria
Schleiden
13. In plant cells only - this organelle is responsible for photosynthesis
Chloroplast
Vacuole
Golgi Apparatus
Pasteur
14. A distinct structure or compartment within a eukaryotic cell that performs specific tasks.
Golgi Apparatus
Organelle
Domain
Lysosomes
15. This type of cell is made up of dendrites and axons.
Cell Wall
Mitochondria
Nerve Cell
Vacuole
16. Organelle that sorts and modifies proteins from ER and prepares them for transport to specific parts of the cell.
Cell Wall
Golgi Apparatus
Chloroplast
Pasteur
17. Scientist who successfully disproved spontaneous generation.
Schleiden
Cytoskeleton
Pasteur
Cell Wall
18. Discovered that animal tissues are made of cells.
Mitochondria
Vacuole
Schwann
Pasteur
19. Cells that do not contain membrane enclosed compartments. Single celled organsms roughly one micrometer long. Attached Flagellum gives the organism mobility.
Nerve Cell
Prokaryotic
Chloroplast
Schleiden
