Reviewer ni Sir Flashcards
It is the technique used to observe small objects that are not visible to the naked eye.
Microscopy
It is an essential tool in biology, allowing for the detailed study of cells, tissues, and microorganisms.
microscope
It is the process of enlarging an image. It is calculated by multiplying the power of the ocular lens (eyepiece) by the power of the objective lens.
Magnification
It is the ability of a microscope to distinguish two close objects as separate entities.
Resolution
Magnifies the image, usually 10x
Ocular Lens
Provide different levels of magnification (4x, 10x, 40x, 100x).
Objective Lenses
Focuses light onto the specimen.
Condenser
Controls the amount of light passing through the specimen.
Diaphragm (Iris)
Provides illumination for viewing the specimen.
Light source
Holds the ocular and objective lenses at the correct distance.
Body tube
Supports the upper part of the microscope and is used for carrying.
Arm
Provides stability and support.
Base
Holds the slide in place.
Stage
Secure the slide on the stage.
Stage clips
Moves the stage up and down for general focusing
Coarse Adjustment Knob
Precisely sharpens the image.
Fine Adjustment Knob
Keep lenses clean using ___________
lens paper
Start with the _______________for easy location of the specimen.
lowest power objective (4x)
Used for viewing very small structures such as bacteria.
Oil Immersion
It is the branch of
biology that focuses on the study of animals.
Zoology
Structure and organization of animals.
Anatomy
Functions and biological processes of animals.
Physiology

Study of oceanic animals and ecosystems.
Marine Biology
It is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all living organisms.
Cell
All cells arise from pre-existing cells.
Cell Theory
Simple cells without a nucleus (e.g., bacteria, archaea).
Prokaryotic cells
Complex cells with a nucleus and organelles (e.g., animal and plant cells).
Eukaryotic Cells
Contains genetic material (DNA); controls cell activities.
Nucleus
Protein synthesis
Ribosomes
(Smooth) Lipid synthesis and (rough) protein synthesis
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for transport.
Golgi Apparatus
Produces ATP (energy) through cellular respiration.
Mitochondria
Breaks down waste and cellular debris.
Lysosomes
Detoxifies harmful substances.
Peroxisomes
Provides shape and support; facilitates movement.
Cytoskeleton
Controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
Plasma Membrane
Helps in cell division (in animal cells).
Centrioles
Conducts photosynthesis (in plant cells).
Chloroplasts
Stores nutrients and waste products.
Vacuoles
It is the male gamete responsible for fertilization.
Sperm cell
Part of sperm cell that contains the nucleus with DNA; covered by the acrosome, which contains enzymes to penetrate the egg.
Head
Contains enzymes that help the sperm penetrate the egg’s protective layers.
Acrosome
Part of sperm cell that is packed with mitochondria to provide energy for movement.
Midpiece
Enables movement toward the egg.
Tail (Flagellum)
A laboratory examination of sperm cells to assess male fertility.
