Lysosomes
|
are small round structures that contain chemicals that break dowm large food particles into smaller ones
|
|
the cell theory states
|
all living things are composed of cells
cells are a baisc unit of structure and function in living things all cells are produced from other cells. |
|
endoplasmic reticulum(E.R.)
|
passageways that carry proteins and other materials form one part of the cell to amother
|
|
microscope
|
is an instrument that makes small objects look larger.
|
|
vacuole

a sac, also the storage area of a cell
|
|
magnification
|
the ability to make things look larger than they are
|
|
chloroplasts
|
capture energy from the sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell
|
|
compound microscope
|
a light microscope that has more than one lens
|
|
Golgi Bodies
|
the cell's mailroom-receive proteins and other newlyj formed materials from the E.R., package them, and distribute them to other parts of the cell
|
|
resolution
|
the ability to clearly distinguish the individual parts of an object
|
|
nucleaus
|
the brain of the cell, the cell's control center directing all of the cells activitys.
|
|
organelles
|
tiny cell structures, function is to produce energy,build and transport needed materials, and store and recycle wastes
|
|
mitochondria

|
|
chromatin
|
contains genetic material, the instructions that direct the functions of the cell
|
|
lens info
|
the lens or lenses in a light microscope magnify an object by bending the light that passes through them.
|
|
bacterial cell info
|
While a bacterial cell does have a cell wall and a cell membrane, it does not have a nucleus
|
|
convex lens
|
lens wiv a curved shape
|
|
ribosomes
|
attached to the E.R are small grainlike bodies
|
|
cell membrane
|
all cells have membranes- it forms a cell barrier- also protects the cell
|
|
micro info
|
the invention of the microscope made it possible for people to discover and learn about cells.
|
|
cell
|
a basic unit of structure and function in living things.
|
|
cell stuff info
|
cell membranes main function is - the cell membrane controls what substance comes in and out of a cell
