Cell Theory and Microscopes
This theory states that all living things are made of cells.
cell theory
This organelle controls the cell and holds DNA.
nucleus
This membrane controls what enters and leaves the cell.
cell membrane
What are autotrophs?
Organisms that make their own food.
Cells are the basic units of this in living things.
structure and function
Known as the powerhouse of the cell
mitochondria
Diffusion and osmosis use this type of transport
passive transport
What are chloroplasts?
Photosynthesis happens in these organelles.
All cells come from these.
existing cells
This organelle packages proteins for transport.
Golgi apparatus
The diffusion of water across a membrane
osmosis
What is cellular respiration?
This process breaks down glucose and oxygen to make energy.
This microscope uses electrons to show very tiny details.
electron microscope
These organelles break down waste and old cell parts.
lysosomes
Transport that requires energy to move substances.
active transport
What is fermentation?
When cells make energy without oxygen.
This tool uses light and lenses to look at cells
light microscope
This organelle processes proteins and lipids like a factory.
endoplasmic reticulum
The process where cells engulf particles to bring them inside
endocytosis
What is glucose?
The photosynthesis equation turns sunlight, CO₂, and water into this sugar.
