Cell Theory
The cell theory states that new cells come from these.
What are existing cells?
Microscopes can use light or beams of these subatomic particles to produce magnified images.
What are electrons?
This name, meaning "little organs", is given to the various parts of the cell.
What is organelles?
This jelly-like substance is what is found outside the nucleus.
What is the cytoplasm?
This kind of diffusion is when molecules can't directly diffuse across the membrane, so they pass through special protein channels.
What is facilitated diffusion?
The cell theory states that all of these are made up of cells.
What are living things?
This part of a light microscope is the lens that you look through.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
DNA is found in this part of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
In passive transport, molecules travel this way across concentration differences.
What is from high concentration to low concentration?
The difference between a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell is the lack of this in a prokaryotic cell.
What is a nucleus?
These are the two kinds of electron microscopes.
What are transmission and scanning?
What is the Golgi apparatus?
This is also known as the "powerhouse of the cell" because it produces usable energy for the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
This is the specific name for when water diffuses across a selectively permeable membrane.
What is osmosis?
Anton van Leeuwenhoek was the first to observe these in his own mouth, which he called "animalcules".
What are bacteria/living cells?
This kind of microscope is able to produce a 3D image.
What is a scanning electron microscope?
This part of a cell is found in both animal and plant cells, but is notably larger in plant cells. It works as a storage area.
What is a vacuole?
This part of a cell is responsible for keeping the shape and structure of a cell. Sometimes, it can also help with movement.
What is the cytoskeleton?
The two kinds of active transport (those that require energy) that transport bulky molecules in and out of the cell are called this.
Robert Hooke is credited with naming the term "cells", which he used because the tiny empty chambers he observed reminded him of these similarly named areas.
What are a monastery's tiny rooms?
The ability of a dye to give off light in a particular color under a specific wavelength of light is a property called this.
What is fluorescence?
This part of the cell is filled with enzymes and works to break down macromolecules into usable parts.
What is a lysosome?
This part of a cell is only found in plant cells, and is responsible for photosynthesis.
What is a chloroplast?
Due to osmotic pressure, a cell will swell up when placed in this kind of solution.
What is hypotonic?
