What part of the microscope allows you to see the specimen in a light microscope?

While not the powerhouse of the cell, these organelles are capable of converting light into a form that can be stored for later use.

Sharing its name with a respiratory muscle, opening and closing this part of the microscope will allow you to adjust how much or little light eventually reaches the eyepiece.

Cyanide is a poison that prevents these organelles from working; without them, the cell is unable to efficiently turn food into energy it can use.

This English scientist not only studied thin slices of dead plant cells, but also did research into the nature of light, leading to a rivalry with Sir Isaac Newton.

This self-taught Dutch businessman was the first to see living cells, and is commonly called "the Father of Microbiology".

This German physician, the "the father of modern pathology", proposed that all new cells are formed only from cells that already exist.

According to this German botanist and founder of cell theory, "the lower plants all consist of one cell, while the higher ones are composed of (many) individual cells."

A type of nerve cell was named after this German psychologist, who studied living animal cells like this one in the 19th century.

This rigid structure not found in animal cells helps protect and support cells.

This thin, flexible barrier controls what substances pass into and out of a cell.

Surrounding the largest cell structure found within a eukaryotic cell, pores in this membrane allow materials to pass in and out of the nucleus.

This structure produces ribosomes, which are then exported from the nucleus.

This part of the microscope has a hole in it, allowing light to pass through the specimen sitting upon it.

This rotating part of the microscope holds the objective lenses.

This pair of microscope parts work together to hold a slide in place.

This rotating part of the microscope is used to bring a slightly blurry image into focus.

This medical condition will occur if I look at sunlight through a microscope.

I might drop and/or damage a microscope if I do not carry it by these two parts.

What will happen to the image, when looking through the eyepiece, if you put your fingers up against or touch the objective lens?

For what reasons should you never use the coarse adjustment knob with the highest-power objective lens?

A specimen will prevent light from getting through itself and and to the objective lens if it is too...

What is the function of a cell wall?

Specialized cells are found only in

Which of the following statements is part of the cell theory?

Cells in many-celled organisms

Unlike the cell wall, the cell membrane

Which organelles store food and other materials needed by the cell?

Small grainlike bodies called ____________________ produce proteins inside cells.

Just like how this kind of word is made of two or more words put together, a light microscope that passes light through two or more lenses is called a(n) ____________________ microscope.

A(n) ____________________ is a group of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function.

How is a cell membrane like a window screen?

Robert Hooke invented a microscope in the mid-1600s. Why was this technology essential to the scientific study of life?

You can't see the cells in your body because most of them are very

Which letter represents the endoplasmic reticulum?

Which letter represents the Golgi apparatus?

Which letter represents the nucleus?

Which letter represents the mitochondria?

What would happen to the cell if the structure labeled D was not present?
