16
Q

What cell organelle (part) allows substances to pass in and out?

A

The cell membrane– water is allowed in and out freely with no energy used.

17
Q

Cells do not look like the average cell, they specialize-can change shape and structure

A

Depends on what type of cell it is (muscle, bone, nerve, etc…)

18
Q

Cell membranes found in animals, plants, protists, fungi and bacteria

A

Cell walls are found in plant cells, some protist, some bacteria

19
Q

Nucleus of cell found in animals, plants, protists, and fungi

A

Bacteria– no nucleus (no time to make one splits every 20-30 minutes) Genetic material– scattered all around the bacteria.

20
Q

Nucleus contains DNA (genetic material)

A

DNA is the blueprint of your cell which its your blueprint

21
Q

When using high power on a microscope, what is the tradeoff?

A

Good part you see the specimen larger
Trade-off It is blurry only see part of the specimen
