These are considered the basic unit of life.

What are cells?

Considered the "brain" of the cell, this organelle is responsible for holding chromatin, the cell's genetic information.

What is the nucleus?

Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic cells, meaning they both have this.

What is a nucleus? (Will also accept: organelles)

If the microscope view is too dark, adjust this to let more light in through the lens.

What is the diaphragm? (Or light bulb dimmer?)

High jump was founded in this year.

What is 1989?

200

Many people invented these tools that could view cells using multiple lenses.

What are microscopes?

200

Considered the "powerhouse of the cell", these organelles are responsible for energy production

What are mitochondria?

200

This organelle exists only in plant cells, and is responsible for a process called photosynthesis

What are chloroplasts?

200

When viewing the specimen, you can move it around by moving this (not the slide!)

What is the stage?

200

This High Jump teacher has a weekly exercise called "throwback Thursday"

Who is Ms. Adams?

300

All cells arise from these.

What are pre-existing cells?

300

This fatty bi-layer surrounds the cell, allowing materials into and out of the cell.

What is the cell membrane?

300

This organelle exists only in plant cells and is responsible for keeping rigidity.

What is the cell wall?

300

You should only use this to focus when viewing your specimen through higher powered objective lens.

What is the fine focus?

One of the OG science beefs occurred between these two champions of early cell theory

Who are Isaac Newton and Robert Hooke?

500

This organelle is responsible for enzyme production, which helps break down the food of cells.

What are lysosomes?

500

Unlike animal cells, plant cells create their own food, using this process.

What is photosynthesis?
