PROKARYOTES VS. EUKARYOTES
Which type of cell is a single cell?
Prokaryotic are single-celled.
Who discovered the Ribosomes?
George E. Palade in 1955.
What is a nucleus?
Dark organelle that contains the cell's DNA.
How many students have learned from microscope mania?
Hundreds of thousands of students have learned so much from it since the last two decades.
What is an Organelle?
Specialized structure that performs important cellular functions within a eukaryotic cell.
Which type of cell has a cell wall?
Eukaryotic has a cell wall.
Back then, the very first cells used RNA as their main genetic and functional molecule. Now, the cells use DNA because it has long-term stability.
What is the mitochondria?
Bean-shaped organelle converts glucose into usable energy for the cell.
Starting from 6th grade all the way up to 12th grade.
What is a Mitochondrion?
Cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compound that are more convenient for the cell to use.
Which type of cells was created first?
Prokaryotic cells was created first.
How many cells do humans have?
Males have 36 trillions cells.
Females have 28 trillion cells.
Children's have 17 trillion cells.
What are chloroplast?
Green ovals capture sunlight to perform photosynthesis and turn the plant green (ONLY FOUND IN PLANT CELLS).
Who discovered microscope mania?
Tracy Trimpe.
What is a Chloroplast?
A Chloroplast is a organelle found in cells of plant and some other organisms that capture energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy.
What type of cells are animals?
Where was the cells discovered?
The cells were discovered in England.
What is the cell wall?
Surrounds the cell membrane of plants, fungi, bacteria, algae and most prokaryotes to give it's cells.
What is microscope mania?
Microscope mania is a popular science education unit, to teach Biology students the function, parts, and history.
What is a Vacuole?
A Vacuole is a cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salt, protein and carbohydrates.
What type of cells are humans?

Who was the first person to observe cells?
Robert Hooke was the first person to observe cells in 1665.
What are lysosomes?
Organelles that contains digestive enzymes to break down waste, old cell parts and foreign invaders.
What does the microscope mania teach?
It teaches on the functions of the microscopes, how to properly handle a microscope, and a lot more about microscopes.
What is Cytoskeleton?
A Cytoskeleton is a network of protein in a eukaryotic cell that gives the cell it's shape and internal organization and is involved in movement.
