Microscopes

QuestionAnswer
ocular 10x magnification
body tube holds ocular at correct distance to focus
revolving nose piece allows objectives to move
objectives short-low power long-high power
stage supports slide
stage clips holds slide in place
base supports scope
diaphragm adjusts to regulate amount of light entering slide
light source light source
course adjustment big knob for finding specimen with in depth focusing, NOT for high power
fine adjustment little knob for clear focusing
arm where you hold scope to move it
Robert Hooke used simple compound microscope to observe cells and other living things
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek used simple lenses to observe pond water, credited with microscope discovery
magnification of microscope number of times it enlarges image
electron microscopes use focused beams of electrons to magnify specimen, have up to 10,000,000X
scanning microscope 3D surface view, 100,000X
transmission electron microscopes 1,000,000X, electrons sent thru an extremely thin slice of sample
dissecting (stereo) (binocular) microscope 40X, allows user to manipulate sample
compound light microscope most common, 2 lenses to focus light, 1000X
parafocal stays focused when objectives change, self focusing
resolution how clear an image is
more magnification= less resolution
field of view width of viewing area thru objectives measured in um or microns
Cell theory (3) 1. All living things made of cells 2. Cell is the basic unit of function+structure 3. All cells come from a previous cell
Robert Hooke named cells
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek 1st to see living cells
Robert Brown described nucleus, cells contain small structures
Stains must stain/color cells to see them, otherwise they are clear
Matteis Scleiden plants are made of cells
Teodor Schwann all animals made of cells
Rudolph Virchow cells come from other cells
Janet Plowe cell membrane is a working structure, not just a barrier
James Watson & Francis Crick structure of DNA in chromosomes
Lynn Marguilis certain organelles were once free living cells that now have a symbiotic relationship inside other cells, endo-symbiosis
Prokaryotic Cell Bacterial cells, single celled organisms, first living organisms, cell wall + Nucleoid, NO nucleus, no membrane bound organelles, significantly smaller ribosomes
Eukaryotic Cell plants +animals+fungi, have nucleus, don't have cell walls
Organelle subunit of cell, accomplishes a specific function, in cytoplasm
Cytoplasm inside of cell, contains many organelles, chemical reactions take place here
Cell Membrane give cell shape, determines what enters and leaves the cell, separates cell from outside
Nucleus holds DNA, control center of cell
Phospholipid Bilayer outside heads hydrophillic, inward facing tails hydrophobic, proteins embedded in bilayer and help transport substances across it
Cell Wall supports and protects the cell, made of cellulose
Central Vacuoles contains water, toxins, waste and enzymes
Vesicles detach and carry material in and out of cell, shuttles in the cell, small portion of the plasma membrane
Lysosomes use digestive enzymes to break down cellular debris and waste
Mitochondria energy factory of cell, makes energy from glucose
Turgor Pressure force of water against the cell wall, causes certain plants like celery to be rigid
Plasmolysis shrinking of cytoplasm, separation of cell from cell wall, cells shriveling up and dying
Chloroplast gives plant color, makes sugar from sunlight and converts it to energy, photosynthesis
Ribosomes makes proteins
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum exports proteins, contains ribosomes that make proteins
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum makes lipids and steroids (hormones)
Nucleolus makes ribosomes
Golgi Apparatus exports molecules from cell, makes lysosomes, sorts modifies and packages proteins
Centrioles provide scaffold that is required for cell division
Cytoskeleton supports structure of cell
Passive Transport Cell does not use energy, where molecules move determent by concentration gradient, molecules move from high to low concentration: diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis
Diffusion random movement of molecules from high to low concentration through the membrane
Facilitated Diffusion diffusion of specific particles through transport proteins found in the membrane
Transport Proteins in membrane, only let specific molecules pass through, transport larger or charged molecules
Osmosis Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
Active Transport cell uses energy, molecules move against the concentration gradient from low to high concentration: protein pumps, endocytosis, exocytosis
Protein Pumps transport proteins that require energy to do work
Endocytosis moving large molecules into the cell, the cell membrane fords around the molecule and "eats it", forming a food vacuole that digests it
Exocytosis moving large molecules of waste out of the cell, membrane surrounding the material fuses with the cell membrane, cell changes shape
Hypotonic The solution has a lower concentration of solutes and a higher concentration of water than inside the cell (cell grows and bursts)
Hypertonic The solution has a higher concentration of solute that the cell (cell shrivels and shrinks)
Isotonic The concentration of solutes in the solution is equal to the concentration of solutes inside the cell (cell stays same size)
Unicellular Have 1 cell
Multicellular Have more than one cell
Cell Specialization each cell has a defined role that helps the organism survive
Virus particles that are not living. Enter cells take them over to replicate and kill your cells
Antigen foreign substance that stimulates your immune system. A tag that your body can recognize
Pathogen organisms that attempt to infect you, bacteria and viruses
Antibodies proteins that bind to antigens, coating the pathogen. Eater cells eat them
Immune system is responsible for protecting you from all the bacteria and viruses that you encounter
What is the first step to immune system? the B-Cell recognizes an antigen of a pathogen
What tells the B Cell its ok? The T-cell
What does a B Cell split into? a plasma cell and memory cell
Plasma Cell makes antibodies, coats pathogen
Memory Cell stay in your body your whole life, activate when they see the old pathogen
Eating cells eat pathogens coated in antibodies
What are ID tags made of? Carbohydrates
Chanel proteins allow molecules to pass freely
Carrier proteins combine molecules and help them get across, change shape to allow molecules in and out, ex: glucose
Marker Protein identifies specific chemical sequence on outsides of cells, including carbs
Receptor Protein let specific molecules bind to it, how cells communicate with the outside, allows cell to see and feel what's going on outside and react accordingly, hormones bind to receptors to communicate with cells
Concentration Gradient different concentrations on both sides of the membrane, determine molecule movement (high to low concentration)
Leucoplasts make startch in roots, plant cells
Nuclear Envelope contains the nucleus
Fluid Mosaic Model the plasma membrane, this means it's not a solid structure but the parts can move

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
