Miscellaneous
100
This man coined the term "cell" because he thought they looked like the rooms he would sleep in at his monastery.
Who is Robert Hooke?
100
This is the control center of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
100
This organelle is used in photosynthesis and takes in light for plant cells.
What are Chloroplasts?
100
What organelles manages, or is responsible for, all cell functions?
What is the Nucleus?
100
Cellulose is a major component of this structure in a plant cell, which forms the outer boundary.
What is the Cell Wall?
200
In order to make this, you need a microscope slide, a coverslip, a drop of water, and a speciman.
What is a Wet Mount?
200
This organelle stores water, waste, and food.
What is a vacuole?
200
This is the area between the plasma (cell) membrane and the nucleus. It holds all the organelles.
What is the Cytoplasm?
200
This structure traps the sun's energy to make sugar.
What are Chloroplasts?
200
This organelle is the transportation or "highway system" or the cell.
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum?
300
Says that all living things are made of cells, cells are the smallest unit of structure and function of living things, and all cells come from preexisting cells.
What is the Cell Theory, theorized by a few scientists.
300
This organelle is considered the powerhouse of the cell because it turns food into energy.
What is the Mitochondria?
300
This is a pair of rods that function in animal cell division.
What are Centrioles?
300
This structure is a long, whiplike tail that helps single-celled organisms move from place to place.
What is a Flagella?
300
This type of cell contains one large vacuole.
What is a Plant Cell?
400
This man is considered the Father of the Microscope.
Who is Leeuwenhoek?
400
These organelles make proteins and sometimes are attached to the Endoplasmic Reticulum.
What are Ribosomes?
400
These organelles are made of condensed (tightened) DNA and are held inside the nucleus. Humans have 23 pairs of them.
What are Chromosomes.
400
An active muscle cell will contain a large number of this organelle.
What is Mitochondria?
400
When beginning to focus on an object under a microscope, you should always start with this lens.
What is the Low Power lens? (usually 4x)
500
Discovered that all animals are made of cells.
Who is Schwann?
500
This organelle stores and packages chemicals, acting like the postal service or UPS.
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
500
This cell structure controls what enters and what leaves a cell.
What is the Cell Membrane?
500
This structure helps digest waste in the cell and acts like the garbage truck.
What is a Lysosome?
500
Cells that line the trachea move fluids along the cells using these small hair-like structures.
What are Cilia?
