how do you calculate the amount of magnification?
multiplying the magnifying powers of the objective and the eyepiece.
Which theory suggests that the basic unit of life is the creature or organism, which may be divided into cells?; Which theory suggests that cells are the basic building blocks of life but don't constitute life itself?
organismal theory
theory that states that the basic unit of life is the organism itself, which may be divided into cells for efficiency
organismal theory
the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane packets within the cell cytoplasm that contain powerful enzymes the semipermeable membrane surrounding human and animal cells; made of phospholipids and proteins tiny sacs in the cell that may either contain starch or oils as stored food or a plant pigment
osmosis; peroxisome; plasma membrane; plastid
Chloroplast
plant cells; inner (filled with stroma) and outer membrane;
cell wall surrounds ___; main function__
plasma membrane; support
a cell whose nucleus is not bound by a membrane the organic substance making up the cells of all living things limiting a cell to a specific function a group of organs working together for a common purpose a group of organs working together for a common purpose a cell storage body that increases in size with age; included within, but not a part of the cytoplasm; often stores water and poisonous by-products of cell activities differs from a cell and consists of a nucleic acid (RNA or DNA) in a protein coat
prokaryote; protoplasm; specialization; system; tissue; vacuole; virus
2 main groups of cells; differences
prokaryotic and eukaryotic; p are smaller and less complex, no dna within nucleus;
the ability to clearly distinguish between two objects
resolving power
tiny, dot-like bodies in the cytoplasm or on the endoplasmic reticulum; important in protein synthesis the fibers that direct the even distribution of chromosomes to each daughter cell during nuclear division a cell storage body that increases in size with age; included within, but not a part of the cytoplasm; often stores water and poisonous by-products of cell activities sacs containing protein produced by the endoplasmic reticulum
ribosome; spindle; vacuole; vesicle
low power vs. high power
scanning slide; focus on a specific component;
Prokaryotic (consist of bacteria)
shape vary, plasma membrane surrounded by cell wall (made of polypeptides and polysaccharides), microvilli (absorb nutrients), pilus (latch on to hosts), flagella (promote movement), no membrane bound organelles, no true nuclues
Eukaryotic
single or multi celled, larger than prokaryotes, membrane-bound organelles, nuclear envelope contains nucleus.
The _____ demonstrates the cell theory because it develops cells that fuse to form one giant cell, making up the whole organism.
slime mold
each cell carries out ____ and the instruction comes from __
