🗑
What does the Cell theory tell us?   1.All living things are made up of cells 2.The cell is the basic unit of life 3. All cells come from other cells  
🗑
The cell theory states that "All cells come from other cells". What process creates more of the same exact type of cells?   Mitosis

What are two cell parts that a plant cell has and an animal cell does not have?   Chloroplast and Cell Wall  
🗑
What type of cell is Square in shape?   Plant cell  
🗑
What type of cell is Round in shape?   Animal cell  
🗑
What tool is used to see tiny objects we normally could not see with the unaided eye?   Microscope  
🗑
How many lenses do you look through when viewing a specimen with a compound microscope ?   2  
🗑
Where are the lenses that you look through with a compound microscope?   Eyepiece and Objective  
🗑
What microscope part controls the amount of light that enters the stage?   Diaphragm  
🗑
What microscope part holds the slide in place?   Stage Clips  
🗑
Where do you place the slide on a microscope?   Stage  
🗑
What microscope part allows light to pass from the stage to the eye?   Body Tube  
🗑
What is another name of the lens found in the eyepiece?   Oculuar Lens  
🗑
What do we call the lenses on a microscope that magnify the specimen different amounts?   Objective Lenses  
🗑
What is the part of the microscope that allows you to switch to low, medium or high power and holds the objective lenses?   Revolving Nosepiece  
🗑
What part of the microscope moves the body tube up and down so that you can bring the specimen into view?   Course adjustment knob  
🗑
What part of the microscope is used to "fine tune" the image and make the specimen appear clearer?   Fine Adjustment Knowb  
🗑
What two spots should you hold to support the microscope?   Arm and Base  
🗑
What is the "Field of View" of a microscope?   The big circle of light that you see in the microscope  
🗑
What is the diameter of the field of view?   The length across the circle of light you see in the microscope  
🗑
What does the total magnification of a microscope tell you?   How much the microscope is enlarging or magnifying the speciman

How do you find total magnification?   Eyepiece x Objective Lens  
🗑
What part of the microscope turns it on and off?   Power Switch  
🗑
What is the name of the cell process during which a cell divides?   Mitosis  
🗑
How many cells are made by mitosis?   Two  
🗑
Why do organisms go through mitosis?   Grow and Repair injuries  
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
