Microscope

Question 1

Cell

Answer 1

A cell is what makes a living thing, there are usually more than one type.

Question 2

Cell membrane

Answer 2

The “barrier” that protects the cell. It controls what enters and leaves the cell.

Question 3

Nucleus

Answer 3

The biggest part of an animal cell, it contains the DNA, choosing your features. It controls the cells activities.

Question 4

Cytoplasm

Answer 4

This is the jelly like substance that is inside every single cell, this is where the chemical reactions take place.

Question 5

Mitochondria

Answer 5

These are the parts of the cell where O2(oxygen)meets food and it releases the energy stored inside it. This is where respiration happens.

Question 6

Cell wall

Answer 6

The cell wall is only found in plant cells, it is like extra protection for the cell. It also gives them support and structure.

Question 7

Permanent Vacuole

Answer 7

This is also mostly found in a plant cell, it stores food called cell sap.

Question 8

Chloroplasts

Answer 8

Usually found in plant cells, this traps sunlight energy to use for photosynthesis.

Question 9

Eyepiece lens

Answer 9

The part of the microscope that you use to see your specimen.

Question 10

Objective lens

Answer 10

There are three of these,x10,x20,x40. They magnify the specimin

Question 11

Stage

Answer 11

This is the part of the microscope where you place the slide.

Question 12

Passive process

Answer 12

This is the process where you do not require energy.

Question 13

Total magnification

Answer 13

This is the eyepiece lens (x10) times by the objective lens (x10, x20, x40).

Question 14

Living thing/organism

Answer 14

A living is something that has 7 characteristics: movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion and nutrition.

Question 15

Unicellular organism

Answer 15

This is a microscopic organism that is made up of only one cell.

Question 16

Diffusion

Answer 16

This is the process where particles from an area of high concentration move to one of low concentration.

Question 17

Hazard symbols

Answer 17

Symbols found in or on certain things warning you about a danger.

Question 18

Nerve cell adaptations

Answer 18

Dendrite, Nucleus, cell body, axon, Myelin sheath, Schwann cell, axon terminal and Node of Ranvier.

Question 19

Coarse focus wheel

Answer 19

This is the wheel on the microscope you use to move the objective lenses toward or away from the specimen.

Question 20

Fine focus wheel

Answer 20

This is the wheel used to fine tune the focus on the specimen.

Question 21

Red blood cell adaptations

Answer 21

Mitochondria, cytoplasm, cell membrane.

Question 22

Sperm cell adaptations

Answer 22

Tail, plasma membrane, mitochondria, middle piece, head, neck, centricole, nucleus, Acrosome.

Question 23

Root hair cell adaptations

Answer 23

Cell wall, cell membrane, vacuole, root hair, cytoplasm, nucleus.

Question 24

Binary fission

Answer 24

Binary fission is the process where one cell divides into two.

Question 25

Amoeba adaptations

Answer 25

Food vacuole, pseudopod, cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, contractile vacuole.

Question 26

Euglena adaptations

Answer 26

Flagellum, eye spot, nucleus, chloroplast, contractile vacuole.

Question 27

Melting point

Answer 27

The temperature at which a solid turns into a liquid.

Question 28

Boiling point

Answer 28

The temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas.
