Cell Theory and Microscopes
This is what scientists do to cells to make them easier to see under a microscope.
What is staining?
This type of transport is the movement of water across a membrane.
What is osmosis?
An important cell in a plant that allows for gas exchange with the environment.
What are stomata?
This is the pressure of water inside plant cells to keep them firm.
What is turgor pressure?
A large region that shares a similar climate, plants, and animals.
What is a biome?
This states that all living things are made of one or more cells, cells are the basic functional unit of life, and that all cells come from pre-existing cells.
What is Cell Theory?
Where the majority of a cells' energy (ATP) is created.
What is the mitochondria?
The type of tissue that majority of photosynthesis occurs in.
What is Palisade tissue?
The growth of a stem due to the light.
What is positive phototropism?
A biome with extreme temperatures and little to no precipitation.
What is a desert?
The total magnification of a microscope with a 10x objective lens on the 40x objective.
What is 400x?
A cell is considered this because energy and matter can come and go from it.
The tissue type that carries water from the roots to the leaves.
What is the Xylem?
The growth of a stem due to gravity.
What is negative gravitropism?
The cutting down of forests for agriculture or logging.
What is deforestation?
This type of microscope provides a detailed 3D image of external structures.
What is the Scanning Electron Microscope?
What is endocytosis?
The tissue type that carries sugars from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
What is the phloem?
This is where Auxin gathers in a stem in response to light.
What is the shaded side.
What is Redi's experiment?
These are the organelles that a plant cell has that an animal cell does not.
What are cell walls, chloroplasts, and large central vacuoles?
This is how water moves up the xylem from roots to leaves. (3 things)
What is water potential, cohesion, and adhesion?
This is the result of auxin in the stem.
Pollution and climate change and cause this loss of species.
What is biodiversity loss?
