The Matilda Effect
The person who created the phrase 'The Matilda Effect'
Margaret Rossiter
The part of the microscope that you look through.
The ocular lens.
The organelle responsible for making energy.
Mitochondrion
This cell has a long tail (flagellum) and lots of mitochondria.
sperm cell
This long muscular tube pushes food from the mouth to the stomach using a wave-like motion called peristalsis.
oesophagus
The Matilda Effect is named after this person.
Matilda Joslyn Gage
When you are using a simple compound light microscope, the image will appear to be:
A characteristically green organelle only found in plant cells.
chloroplast
Containing numerous mitochondria to enable contraction and movement
muscle cell
This organ removes water from undigested food and forms solid waste (faeces).
large intestine
James Watson and Francis Crick stole her groundbreaking scientific discovery of the famous model of DNA.
Rosalind Franklin
I am the part of the microscope in which the three objective lenses are located.
Nosepiece
Helps plants maintain shape, storage, digestion, and waste removal.
vaculole
I guard the gate of the plant’s green skin
guard cell
The epiglottis fails to close properly during swallowing.
Food enters the trachea, and you begin to choke.
The Matilda Effect is epitomised when male colleagues called me 'hysterical'.
Rosalind Franklin
The maximum magnification of the compound microscope.
3000x
A membrane-bound organelle that houses the genetic material in eukaryotic cells,
nucleus
They help absorb nutrients by increasing the surface area.
villi
This organ does both chemical digestion (with enzymes and acid) and mechanical digestion (by churning the food).
The stomach
Rachel Carson (1907-1964) was an American marine biologist and conservationist who wrote this book.
The Silent Spring
The most expensive type of microscope.
The electron microscope.
A thin layer that surrounds the cytoplasm of all prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, including plant and animal cells. It is a selectively permeable cell organelle,allowing certain substances inside the cell while preventing others to pass through.
cell membrane
I’m green and lean, found in a leaf,
I make food for the plant.
Palisade cell
This substance produced by the liver isn’t an enzyme, but it helps break up large fat droplets into smaller ones, increasing the surface area for enzymes to act.
