Cell Wall
Mitosis
Cell reproduction that accurs in the nucleus where an exact copy is made or cell division *needed for growth, replacement, and a-sexual reproduction
Identify the organelle that contains chlorophyll and makes food from sunlight.
Chloroplast

Site of photosynthesis. It is found in plant cells but not in animal cells
What is the low power objective lens?
Smallest lens on the nosepiece. It magnifies an image approximately 10 times
What is the mirror or light source?
Some microscopes use light that is reflected through the stage by a mirror. Other microscopes have their own light source
Cell Membrane
Structure found in all cells. It is essential in maintaining homeostasis by controlling what gets in and out of the cell
What is the arm?
Supports the body above the stage. Always carry a microscope by the arm and base
What is the base?
Supports the microscope
cellular respiration
*takes place in mitochondria *oxygen turns into energy=becomes carbon dioxide *on the reactant side
All living things are made up of at least________cell(s)
1
What are the parts of cell theory?
1. All living things are made of cells. 2. All living things come from preexisting cells. 3. The cell is the basic unit of life.
How is Bacteria good?
1. Helps digestion 2. Heals wounds 3. Can get rid of bad bacteria
What is the Photosynthesis equation?
6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Describe the main difference between Prokaryotic cells and Eukaryotic cells
A Prkaryotic cell lacks a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. A Eukaryotic cell contains these structures
Small Vacuole
Also known as a vesicle, they are used as storage and transportation vesicles to move materials in and out of the cell.
The "passageways" in a cell that carry materials from one part of a cell to another are known as_____ ________
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
What is a eukaryote?
Every type of complex multicellular organism that exists, has a nucleus
Identify the organelle that packages and distributes materials to other parts of the cell (the "mailroom" of a cell)
Golgi Bodies
What is the stage clip?
Holds a slide in place on the stage
What is the stage?
It supports the object being viewed
What is fermentation?
It's provides energy for cells without using energy
Large Vacuole
Larger storage compartment used for storing water and other materials needed. Larger vacuoles are found in plant cells
Only_______cells can produce new living cells.
Living
Identify the organelle that breaks down waste and digests organelles or food particles that are not needed by the cell (the "stomach" of the cell)
Lysosome
What type of cell division divides the number of the cells chromosomes in half and is used for the process of reproduction?
Meiosis
Identify what the organelle that produces the energy needed for a cell to carry out its functions (also known as the "power house" of a cell)
Mitochondria
What type of cell division duplicates the cell and all of its parts in order to make an exact copy of the cell?
Mitosis
Identify the organelle that controls the activities of the cell.
Nucleus
What is the eyepiece?
Objects are viewed by the eyepiece. It contains a lens that commonly magnifies an image 10 times
What terms describes the tiny cell parts that carry out specific functions?
Organelles
Identify the process that causes water to pass through the membrane of a cell
Osmosis
The cell pictured below belongs to which type of organism?
Plant
Identify 3 difference between a plant and animal cell
Plant cells contain a cell wall, chloroplasts, and 1 larger vacuole
Why do plant cells have larger vacuoles than animal cells?
Plants have to store more water for structure and support
Lysosomes
Responsible for cleaning up the cell, by getting rid of waste. Found in animal cells only. NOTE: some scientists believe they are found in plant cells but are rarely visible
Ribosomes
Responsible for making proteins in the cell. Found attached to the rough ER and free floating in the cytoplasm

The body tube separates the lens in the eyepiece from the objective lenses below
What is the high-power objective lens?
The largest lens on the nosepiece. It magnifiesan image approximately 400 times
