(148) Biology: Microscopes, Cells, Organelles, and Cellular Transport - Science 10 Alberta

Microscopes: Instruments that magnify objects, allowing for detailed observation of cells and their components.

Cells: The basic structural and functional units of all living organisms, which can be prokaryotic or eukaryotic.

Organelles: Specialized structures within cells that perform distinct processes, such as mitochondria for energy production and ribosomes for protein synthesis.

Cellular Transport: The mechanisms through which substances move in and out of cells, including passive transport (diffusion and osmosis) and active transport (using energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient).
