PROKARYOTES VS. EUKARYOTES
Unlike eukaryotes, organisms in this domain lack a true nucleus to house their genetic material.
What are Bacteria
In 1665, this English scientist coined the term "cell" after looking at a slice of cork under a microscope.
Who was Robert Hooke
This organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cell because it generates most of the cell's supply of ATP
What is the mitochondrion
This type of microscope uses visible light and a system of lenses to magnify small samples, and is the most common kind found in classrooms.
What is a light
The third planet from the sun.
What is Earth
This cellular powerhouse, responsible for ATP production, is found in eukaryotes but entirely absent in prokaryotes
What is the mitochondrion
This Dutch microscope maker was the first to observe live microorganisms, which he called "animalcules," in pond water.
Who was Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
Often called the control center of the cell, this structure houses the cell's DNA.
What is the nucleus
Invented in the 1930s, this powerful microscope type achieves high magnification by using a beam of accelerated electrons instead of light
What is an electron microscope
This capital of France is known as the city of Light
What is Paris
While both cell types contain these protein-building structures, they are smaller in prokaryotes than in eukaryotes
What are ribosomes
In 1838, this German botanist concluded that all plants are entirely made up of cells.
Who was Matthias Schleiden
What is the nucleus
These tiny granular structures are responsible for protein synthesis.
Response: What are ribosomes
It is the term for the circular area that you can see when looking through the eyepiece of a microscope.
What is the field of view
He was the first President of the United States
Who is George Washington
In prokaryotes, DNA is often concentrated in this irregularly shaped, non-membrane-bound region
What is the nucleoid
A year after Schleiden's plant discovery, this German zoologist extended the theory by stating that all animals are made of cells
Who was Theodor Schwann
This stack of membrane-bound sacs modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for storage or transport
What is the Golgi apparatus
To calculate this total metric, you multiply the magnification power of the eyepiece by the magnification power of the objective lens
What is total magnification
The playwright who penned Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet.
Who is William Shakespeare
Unlike the linear chromosomes of eukaryotes, prokaryotic DNA typically takes this geometric shape
What is circular
This doctor popularized the Latin phrase omnis cellula e cellula, meaning "all cells come from pre-existing cells
Who was Rudolf Virchow
Found in plant cells, this organelle uses light energy from the sun to turn carbon dioxide and water into glucose during photosynthesis
What is a chloroplast
This 17th-century Dutch businessman is widely recognized as the "Father of Microbiology" for improving the microscope and discovering bacteria.
Who is Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
This large mammal is known as the king of the jungle
What is a lion
