Cell Parts
This cell part is encased in a double membrane and stores DNA for the cell.
What is the nucelus?
Cell theory states that all living things are made up of these.
What are cells?
This type of microscope uses a beam of electrons to produce a significantly magnified image.
What is an electron microscope?
What is in an embryo?
This cellular structure is shared by some prokaryotic cells and plant cells, though they differ in structure.
What is a cell wall?
This cell part is the site of aerobic cellular respiration, which provides an energy source in the form of ATP.
What is the mitochondrion?
This scientist disproved the idea of spontaneous generation with his swan-necked flask experiment.
Who is Pasteur?
This is the equation for calculating the magnification of an image produced by a microscope.
What is M = I/A?
This is what cells do to their genes when they are differentiating/specializing.
What is turning them on and off (changes in gene expression)?
This is the name of the eukaryotic ribosome.
What is 80s?
This cell part is responsible for the breakdown of waste products in the cell and is filled with digestive enzymes.
What is the lysosome?

What are amino acids?
When calculating the magnification using a light microscope, this is multiplied by the magnification of the objective lens.
What is the eyepiece magnification?
This is the name for a stem cell that can turn into any other cell type, including the placenta.
What is totipotent?
An increase in this measurement allows for more efficient transfer of substances in and out of the cell.
What is the surface area to volume ratio?
This cell part modifies proteins and packages them in vesicles to be "shipped" to the plasma membrane.
