Life Science ML Chapter 1 Flashcards
Organism that consists of only one cell
Unicellular Organism
Basic unit of structure and function for all living things
Cell
Organisms that are composed of many cells
Multicellular
1) Every living thing is made of one or more cells.

Cell Theory
It uses two lenses to magnify the amount of light entering your eye.
Light Microscope
This instrument uses a beam if electrons in a vacuum chamber to magnify objects up to one million times larger.
Transmission Electron Microscope
Makes 3D images of small objects such as structures of a cell
Scanning Electron Microscope
This is a protective boundary for the cell that regulates what comes in and out of the cell. It is the doorway to the cell.
Cell Membrane
Gelatin-like material in which most of the activities of the cell take place.
Cell Membrane
Cell without a nucleus
Prokaryote
Cells that have a nucleus
Eukaryote
any structure inside a cell that is enclosed by a membrane and has a specific function for the cell
Organelle
Control Center of the Cell
This is where the DNA is stored
Nucleus
