Answer 3

Outer covering of plant cell. Gives plant cells their shape

Question 4

Cytoplasm

Answer 4

Gel-like substance. Takes up the empty space inside the cell

Question 5

Lysosomes

Answer 5

Get rid of unwanted and old warn out cell parts

Question 6

Cell membrane

Answer 6

Double-layered covering of both plant and animal cells. Provides protection and controls what comes in and out of the cell

Question 7

Chloroplast

Answer 7

Where photosynthesis takes place. Gives plant cells their green color.

Question 8

Chromosomes

Answer 8

Instruction manual located inside the nucleus

Question 9

Ribosomes

Answer 9

Where proteins are manufactured

Question 10

Golgi body

Answer 10

Transports things around in and out of he cell. It’s like the delivery guy.

Question 11

Endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 11

Packages proteins for transport. Can be smooth or rough

Question 12

Diaphragm

Answer 12

Controls the amount of light intensity that shines through the microscope

Question 13

How do you find the total magnification of a compound light microscope

Answer 13

Multiply the power of the eyepiece lens with the objective lens

Question 14

Where does photosynthesis take place?

Answer 14

In a plant cell inside the chloroplast

Question 15

Who is generally given credit for developing the first microscope?

Answer 15

Anton von Leewenhoek

Question 16

What type of microscope has two or more sets of lenses?

Answer 16

Compound microscope

Question 17

What type of cell lacks a nucleus and membrane bound organelles.

Answer 17

Prokaryotic Cells

Question 18

Why does a plant have to undergo photosynthesis in order to survive?

Answer 18

Because that is how it makes its own food and growth/reproduction.

Question 19

If you were to look at a speciman under the microscope, explain the first few steps.

Answer 19

1) Lower the stage all the way.
2) Make sure you are using the low power lens
3) Place the slide on the stage and use the stage clips to hold in place.
4) Turn on the light source, and while looking through the eyepiece lens very slowly turn the course adjustment until the specimen comes in to view.

Answer 21

Nucleus

Question 22

Animal cells tend to be what shape?

Answer 22

More round.

Question 23

What cell part is considered to be semi-permeable
