2

Microscope slide

a clear plastic/ glass piece on which you mount your specimen being investigated

New cards
3

Cover slip

a square clear plastic/ glass piece which goes on top of your specimen

New cards
4

Stage

where you clip your microscope slide into place

New cards
5

Eyepiece lens

part of the microscope you look through

New cards
6

Objective lens

these magnify the image and there are different types with different magnification levels

New cards
7

Lamp

this shines light to the specimen so it can be seen more clearly

New cards
8

Coarse/ Fine adjustment knobs

help focus the image so it is clearer

New cards
9

Differences between a light microscope and an electron microscope

Light microscope: used to study living cells, regular use when relatively low magnification and resolution is enough

Electron Microscope: provides higher magnification and higher resolution images, cannot be used to view living cells

12

Nucleus

Contains dna , controls cell activities

New cards
13

Cell wall

Made of cellulose, keeps cell rigid

New cards
14

Cell membrane

Allows substances in and out of cell

New cards
15

Vacuole

fluid filled sac that stores water

New cards
16

Chloroplasts

Contains chlorophyll which is needed for photosynthesis

New cards
17

Ribosomes

Where proteins are made

New cards
18

mitochondria

Where respiration takes place

New cards
19

Draw a plant cell

20

Flagellum

tail for moving

New cards
21

Flexible cell wall

Only found on bacteria cell, not made of cellulose

New cards
22

Chromosomal DNA

One long strand of DNA that controls the bacteria

New cards
23

Plasmid DNA

small loops of extra DNA

New cards
24

Sub cellular structure

compartments' where specific processes take place within the cell

New cards
25

Eukaryote

With nucleus

New cards
26

Prokaryote

Without nucleus

New cards
27

Differences between plant, animal and bacterial cell

Plant: eukaryotic (with nucleus), has cell wall, vacuole and chloroplasts

Animal: eukaryotic (with nucleus), has NO cell wall, vacuole and chloroplasts

Bacteria: prokaryotic (without nucleus) , has cell wall, no vacuole or chloroplasts , has flagellum, chromosomal DNA, plasmid DNA

New cards
28

Different between mm and um

1mm (millimeter) = 1000um (micrometer)

New cards
29

Formula for image, actual size and magnification

knowt flashcard image
New cards
30

Total magnification formula

Total magnification = eyepiece lens X objective lens
