Cells
This is the smallest unit of life.
What is a cell.
Organelles attempt to work together in order to maintain this.
What is life?
Mitochondria
What organelle produces energy for the cell's processes?
The piece you look through.
What is an eyepiece?
This is what plants produce using photosynthesis.
What is glucose (simple sugar)?
These are the two types of cells.
What are plant and animal cells?
This organelle would prevent unwanted materials from entering the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
Ribosome
What is protein synthesis (making)?
What is the stage?
This is causes plant cells to be green.
What is chlorophyll. (Located in chloroplasts)?
These three organelles can help you identify a plant cell.
What is the cell wall, chloroplasts, and large vacuoles
This organelle is found only in plants. It stores water & nutrients.
What is the large vacuole?
Nucleus
Controls the cell and stores DNA
These adjust the focus, making for a better image.
What are Adjustment Knobs (Coarse or fine)?
Sometimes called the "jell like substance" in a cell. This provides support and a way of movement for organelles.
What is the cytoplasm?
What is the lack of a cell wall, chloroplasts, and or large vacuoles?
This organelle is the control center for the cell. Holding all hereditary information.
What is the nucleus?
Cell Wall
This connects the eye piece to the nose piece.
This is within the control center of the cell.
What is hereditary information (DNA)?
These were the first cells to be observed under a microscope.
What are cork cells?
The fluid inside the cell that holds other organelles in place.
What is Cytoplasm?
Uses the sun's energy to produce sugar.
What are chloroplasts?
Without this, a compound light microscope would not work.
What is light?
What does the cell produce by reading DNA. They must be shaped and folded. These can also be referred to as enzymes.
What are Proteins?
