Match

Match the organelle to its description.

• Proteins are made on these small structures.

• Controls all activity in the cell (the brain) and stores DNA

• The fluid that fills the cell and

  keeps the organelles in place

• Power plant of the cell. They

  create energy called ATP.

• Outer lining the cells.

  Controls what goes

  in and out.

Hotspot

Select the correct Cell: This cell is considered complex since it contains a well-defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Animals, Plants, Fungi, and Protists are considered this type of cell.

Multiple Choice

Why is it important for scientists to study cells and use microscopes to magnify them?

• To understand how living organisms function at a basic level

• To make cells look more interesting

• To create new types of cells

• To make cells easier to draw

Open Ended

Explain why cells are usually stained before being observed under a microscope. What is the purpose of using stains like methylene blue?

Multiple Select

Which of the following are benefits of using a 3D microscope in cell biology?

• It allows scientists to see the top, sides, and layers of a cell

• It helps doctors treat cancer caused by rapidly dividing cells

• It can only be used to study plant cells

• It helps cell biologists learn more about cell components and division
