Organisms are cells that lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

The piece of the microscope that you look through to see a specimen. It has a magnification of 10X.

The experimental factor that is manipulated; the variable whose effect is being studied.

A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended.

A protist that moves and traps food with pseudopods.

Are composed of one cell and would include most protist and bacteria.

An organelle found in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs.

An observation that deals with a number or amount.

Powerhouse of the cell; place where cellular respiration takes place.

The part of the microscope that connects the base to the eyepiece. It is used to hold when carrying a microscope with one hand while the other hand is under the base to support the microscope.

The bottom of the microscope that holds the microscope up.

Something that can change in a given situation.

A skill used for quantitative observation.

Single-celled organisms that do not have a nucleus.

Cells that contain a membrane bound organelles to include a nucleus.

Green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy used to carry out photosynthesis

A deduction or conclusion formed by an observation (the story behind what you see)

A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell.

A protist that has a whip-like tail that is used to move and capture food; autotrophic (makes its own food).

Rod shaped bacteria

Information obtained through the senses.

Sites where photosynthesis takes place in a plant cell (some protists).

Spiral shaped bacteria.

The process where a plant uses the sun's energy to make food.

The outcome factor; the variable that may change in response to manipulations of the independent variable.

Cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates; temporary storage center of the cell.

Provides support and shape for plant cells.

One-celled organisms that live in moist, wet environments and are eukaryotic.

Reporting orally or in writing.

A forecast of a future observation.

Round-shaped bacteria.

An observation that describes using your 5 senses. It also uses NO numbers.

A protist that moves using hair-like structures called "cilia". The cilia are also used to wave in food into its "oral groove", which acts like a mouth.

The platform on a microscope that is used to place the slide with the specimen on.

having or consisting of many cells.

A simple sugar that is used to feed a plant through the process of photosynthesis.

Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

The the magnifying lenses that are found on a rotating disc located on the nosepiece of a microscope. The magnifications are 4X for the small lens, 10X for the medium lens, and 40X for the large lens.

Thin, flexible barrier around a cell; regulates what enters and leaves the cell.

Diffusion of water.

Control center of the cell. Contains DNA.

Organelle responsible for digesting certain materials within the cell; "recycler".

sac-like organelle that breaks down large food particles and old cell parts to be used again.
