1. Make your flash cards simple (Only write the facts/key points)
2. Write the function and at least one fact/key word (from your class notes)
3. Create flash cards for the following organelles and structures:
1. What is the function of the nucleus?
2. What is the function of the mitochondria/mitochondrion?
3. What is the function of the ribosome?
4. What is the function of the plasma membrane?
5. What is the function of a chloroplast?
6. What is the function of the cytoskeleton?
7. What is the function of flagella and cilia?
8. What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum (smooth, rough)?
9. What is the function of the golgi complex/apparatus?
10. What is the function of cytoplasm/cytosol?
11. What is the function of a vacuole?
12. What is the function of the cell wall?
13. What is the function of a plastid?
14. What is the function of a lysosome?
4. Flash Card Example:
Each organelle flash card will have:
Side 1: (1) What is the function of the nucleus?
(2) Describe an interesting fact about this organelle.
Side 2: (1) Answer: Controls activities of the cell.
(2) Fact: Contains DNA (Genetic Information)
(3) Draw a picture of the organelle.
5. Study Guide Questions: Write the question on one side of the flash card and the
correct answer on the other side: (Answers are found in your lecture notes and the
cell unit packet) You may also use your textbook: Ch. 4 & Ch. 5
