Cell Theory
Living things are made up of these.
What are cells?
The two names of distinguished cell categories sound similar yet are very different from one another.
What are prokaryotic and eukaryotic?
This organelle is responsible for synthesizing and making proteins in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
What are ribosomes?
When switching through magnifications on a microscope, the user rotates through three pieces of this microscope part.
What are the objective lenses?
These green organelles found in plant cells allow for photosynthesis to happen.
What are chloroplast?
Cells are made/produced by this:
What are other preexisting living cells?
This primary organelle that distinguishes prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells apart from one another contains DNA.
What is a nucleus?
This organelle is referred to as the 'post office', as it is responsible for packaging and exporting proteins within the cell.
What is the golgi apparatus?
This part of a microscope allows light to come through and is adjustable.
What is the diaphragm?
This organelle found in plants allows for the rigid structure to be maintained.
What is the cell wall?
The first person to observe and name cells in 1665 sounds like a character from Peter Pan.
What is Hooke, Robert?
This genetic material is found in all cells, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic.
What is DNA?
This organelle is commonly referred to by many (including Ms. Gray) as the 'powerhouse of the cell'.
What is the mitochondria?
The eyepiece on the microscopes we use always has this amount of magnification in addition to the objective lenses.
What is 10x magnfication?
Amoebas, red algae, and dinoflagellates are all examples of what category of eukaryotic cells?
What are protists?
The term "animalcules' when cells were first found in pond water was coined by this old white man.
Who is Leeuwenhoek?
The tail-like structure prokaryotic cells typically have that help with movement are also found in animals cells like sperm cells.
What is a flagella?
This barrel-shaped organelle is only found in animal cells and is used in cell division.
What are centrioles?
When looking through the eyepiece and the high power magnification lens, the total magnification is this:
What is 400?
Venus fly trap plants are this category of organism that can photosynthesize and eat insects as ways of obtaining energy and carbon in this trophic category.
What is a mixotroph?
These kinds of rooms inspired Robert Hooke to call the microscopic living things he observed in 1665 'cells'.
What are monk rooms?
This commonly referred to infection, 'strep throat' is caused by this prokaryotic bacterial cell.
What is Streptococcus?
This cellular process uses lysosomes as catalysts when cells become damaged.
When a scientist wants a larger depth of focus, they are looking for which amount of magnification?
What is a lower magnification?
This theory states that eukaryotic cells evolved when prokaryotic cells engulfed or absorbed other cells.
What is the endosymbiosis theory?
