Microscopes
How do you properly carry a microscope?
With both hands. One supporting the base and the other holding the neck
Do prokaryotes have organelles?
No, only eukaryotes have organelles
What is the function of the nucleus?
store DNA
This organelle performs photosynthesis
Chloroplast
DNA is in this form inside the nucleus
Chromatin
When using 40x-100x magnification, do you use the coarse or fine focus?
Only the fine focus
What is an example of a prokaryote?
Bacteria
What organelle is covered in ribosomes and is the place for making proteins?
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Plant cells have this structure that surrounds the cell membrane
cell wall
Name three examples of Eukaryotes
Animals, Plants, Fungi, and Protists
What power of magnification do you always start at?
4x or the lowest
How do prokaryotes reproduce? (It's a type of asexual reproduction)
Binary fission
This organelle contains enzymes that break down toxic substances like hydrogen peroxide
Peroxisome
These organelles make starch
Amyloplast
This structure is used for movement and is similar to a tail
flagella
What must you do before using 100x magnification?
Place a drop of immersion oil on the coverslip of the slide
Where do prokaryotes store their DNA?
The nucleoid or plasmid
This type of microtubule is only found in animal cells, and is used in cell division
centriole
This organelle is much larger in plant cells, and is used to store water
Vacuole
This organelle exports proteins to other parts of the cell like a post office
Golgi body/apparatus
Go back to 10x or 4x and refocus the specimen. Make sure that the needle is placed on a part of the specimen before using 50x-100x
Do prokaryotes have ribosomes?
Yes
This organelle has no ribosomes and is where proteins are packaged into vesicles
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
This substance absorbs light and has a green color
Chlorophyll
This word describes the suicide sac ability of cells
Apoptosis
