Organelle contains chemicals that break down certain materials in the cell.
What are Lysosomes?
Plant cells have one large one of these that stores water.
What is a vacuole?
Name the tiny structures within cells that carry out specific functions.
What are organelles?
He observed cork cells and first called them "cells"?
Who is Robert Hooke?
The microscope used in Biology classes usually contains more than one lens.
What is the compound microscope?
Organelle responsible for making proteins.
What are ribosomes?
What organelle do plant cells have that capture energy from sunlight and use it to create food?
What are chloroplasts?
Name the region of the cell between the cell membrane and the nucleus.
What is the cytoplasm?
Stated that living cells come from existing cells.
Who is Rudolf Virchow?
Another term for the sharpness of an image when using a microscope.
What is resolution?
Organelle responsible for packaging proteins and distributing them to other parts of the cell.
What are Golgi bodies?
A structural layer that provides plant cells with a definite shape.
What is the cell wall?
Structural cellular component that controls what substances come into and out of a cell.

The control center of a cell, where the genetic material is stored.
What is a nucleus?
List the cell theory postulates or fundamental concepts.
1. All living things are composed of cells
2. Cells are the basic unit of life
3. New cells are produced from living cells.
