Answer 1

cells

Question 2

What do microscopes enable us to look deep inside of?

Answer 2

individual cells

Question 3

What does using different types of microscopes enable you to discover?

Answer 3

how cells are organised

Question 4

What else can you investigate with different types of microscopes?

Answer 4

the ways in which the structures you can see are related to their function

Question 5

What does microscopy allow you to see?

Answer 5

what goes on in a healthy cell

Question 6

What does microscopy also allow you to observe?

Answer 6

some of the changes which take place if the cell is diseased or attacked

Question 7

What are cells?

Answer 7

the basic unit of all living things

Question 8

Are all cells the same?

Answer 8

no

Question 9

What are the two fundamental types of cell?

Answer 9

prokaryotic and eukaryotic

Question 10

What are prokaryotes?

Answer 10

single-celled organisms

Question 11

What kind of structure do prokaryotes have?

Answer 11

a simple structure of just a single undivided internal area called the cytoplasm

Question 12

What is the cytoplasm responsible for?

Answer 12

giving a cell its shape

Question 13

Does cytoplasm fill out the cell and keep organelles in their place?

Answer 13

yes

Question 14

What are organelles?

Answer 14

they are like tiny machines that provide the needs of the cell e.g. nucleus

Question 15

What is the cytoplasm composed of?

Answer 15

cytosol, which is made of water, salts, and organic molecules

Question 16

What are eukaryotic cells?

Answer 16

they make up multicellular organisms like animals, plants and fungi

Question 17

What kind of internal structure do eukaryotic cells have?

Answer 17

a much more complicated internal structure

Question 18

What do eukaryotic cells contain?

Answer 18

a membrane-bound nucleus (nucleoplasm) and a cytoplasm, which contains many membrane-bound cellular components

Question 19

What is a membrane bound?

Answer 19

it seperates the interior of the cell from the outside enviroment
