OrganellesCategory Name
This organelle is the control center of the cell and contains DNA
What is the nucleus?
This type of microscope uses light to magnify small objects.
What is a light microscope?
Prokaryotic cells lack this organelle, which contains DNA in eukaryotes.
What is the nucleus
This process, essential to all living organisms, involves obtaining or producing food to provide energy and materials for growth
What is nutrition?
These small structures are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell
What are ribosomes?
This tool is used in microscopy to measure the size of specimens under the microscope.
What is an eyepiece graticule?
These small circular DNA molecules can be found in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes
What are plasmids?
This process refers to the chemical reactions that occur within cells to maintain life, including the breakdown of molecules to release energy
What is metabolism?
This organelle is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins for secretion.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
This technique in electron microscopy involves freezing and breaking open cells to reveal internal structures.
What is freeze fracture?
This type of ribosome is found in prokaryotes and is smaller than the ribosomes in eukaryotic cells.
What are 70S ribosomes?
This process allows living organisms to detect and react to changes in their environment, ensuring survival and adaptation
What is response to stimuli?
These membrane-bound sacs contain digestive enzymes and help break down waste in the cell.
What are lysosomes?
This advanced microscopy technique uses antibodies linked to fluorescent dyes to visualize specific proteins.
What is immunofluorescence?
This organelle in plant cells converts sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
This feature of eukaryotic cells allows processes like cellular respiration to occur without interference from other cellular activities.
What is compartmentalisation
This double-membraned organelle generates chemical energy through cellular respiration
What is the mitochondrion?
This term refers to the removal of metabolic waste from a cell.
Excretion
This lab instrument is used in cell fractionation
