Cells
Quiz: http://www.bcscience.com/bc8/pgs/quiz_section1.2.htm
Note: Ignore number 6 on this quiz, about the aphids and the leaf. The rest of the questions are right on target.

Another Quiz: http://www.glencoe.com/qe/science.php?qi=258
Note: A few questions about about topics we didn't cover, or didn't cover in detail, but questions about cell types, parts, functions, and tissues/organs are on target.

Label cell parts: http://media.pearsoncmg.com/bc/bc_marieb_ehap_8/activities/chapter3/Act3A.html
Note: Cytosol means cytoplasm. Centrioles are parts we didn't study (yet). Rough endoplasmic reticulum is ER that has ribosomes on it.

More cell parts to label: http://www.tvdsb.on.ca/westmin/science/sbi3a1/Cells/cellquiz.htm
Note: Turgor pressure is water pressure that presses against the cell wall and keeps plant cells from wilting. The nucleolus is a special structure within the nucleus that makes ribosomes. You don't need to know these terms for an "A" on the test Wed., but they'll help with this website.

Advanced (If you're going for the A+ mastery): Prokaryotes, Eukaryotes, and Virus tutorial.

Advanced cell parts labels (you won't need to know all these parts, even for the A+, but if you want an extra challenge, go for it): http://www.wisc-online.com/objects/index_tj.asp?objid=AP11403
