Cell Substances and Microscope

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Arm   The part of the microscope that you carry the microscope with.  
🗑
Base   Supports the microscope.  
🗑
Body Tube   The long tube holds the eyepiece and connects to the objectives.  
🗑
Diaphragm   Controls the amount of light going through to the specimen.  
🗑
Coarse Adjustment   Used for focusing on low power.  
🗑
Eyepiece   Where you look through to see the image of your specimen (10x).  
🗑
Fine Adjustment   Used to fine tune the focus of your specimen after using the coarse adjustment.  
🗑
Nosepiece   It holds the objectives.  
🗑
Objectives   (Low, medium, high) It gives the magnification.  
🗑
Specimen   An individual animal, plant, piece of a mineral, etc., used as an example of its species or type for scientific study or display.  
🗑
Stage   It has a hole in that allows light through the specimen.  
🗑
Stage Clips   Shiny clips on top of the stage which holds the slide in place.  
🗑
Light Source (What is it?)   A source that gives light.  
🗑
Ocular Lense   Another word for eyepiece. Where you look through to see the image of your specimen.  
🗑
DNA   A nucleic acid.  
🗑
ATP   Adenosine triphosphate is the major energy-carrying molecule in cells. The energy in carbohydrates and lipids must first be transferred to ATP, which then provides fuel for cellular activites.  
🗑
Carbohydrate (What are they made of)   Are molecules made of sugars.  
🗑
Simple Carbohydrates   Are made up of one sugar molecule or a few sugar molecules linked together.  
🗑
Complex Carbohydrates   Are made of hundreds of sugar molecules linked together. (Usually stored by organisms)  
🗑
Lipid   Are compounds that cannot mix with water.  
🗑
Phospholipids (What are they and what are their three purposes)   Are the molecules that form much of the cell membrane, which serves the purpose to store energy, act as protective membranes, and communication.  
🗑
Protein   Are large molecules made up of amino acids. They serve the purpose to use their enzymes to start or speed up chemical reactions in cells, transport, and are used as structural support.  
🗑
Nucleic Acid   Are large molecules made up of subunits called nucleotides; sometimes called the blueprints of life because they contain genetic information. They include instructions for cell growth, cell reproduction, and cell processes to respond to their environment  
🗑
Amino Acids   A simple organic compound containing both a carboxyl (—COOH) and an amino (—NH2) group.  
🗑
Hemoglobins   Is a type of protein.  
🗑
Magnification of Low Power Objective   10x X 4x=40x  
🗑
Magnification of Medium Power Objective   10x X 10x =100x  
🗑
Magnification of High Power Objective   10x X 40x =400x  
🗑
Cell Theory (What does it state, what is the cell, and what is it?)   States that all living things are made of one or more cells; the cell is the smallest unit of life; all new cells come from preexisting cells.  
🗑
Early Scientists (Name them)   Robert Hooke, Matthias Schleiden, Theodor Schwann, and Rudolf Virchow.  
🗑
Year and What He Did : Robert Hooke   1600s - Built a microscope and observed and named cells.  
🗑
Year and What He Did : Matthias Schleiden   1838 - Concluded that all plant parts were made of cells.  
🗑
Year and What He Did : Theodor Schwann   1839 - Concluded that all animal tissues were made of cells.  
🗑
Year and What He Did : Rudolf Virchow   1858 - Stated that all cells could form only pre - existing cells.  
🗑
State what All Early Scientists' Theories Led To   THE CELL THEORY!!! (What caused it to be)  
🗑
Macromolecules   Substance that forms from joining many small molecules together.  
🗑


   

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.
