ARM AND BASE Part of the microscope that regulates how much light enters. DIAGPHRAM What the slide is set on. STAGE Type of scope with two eye pieces STEREOMICROSCOPE How many times bigger an object appears MAGNIFICATION Seeing many different levels of an object with changes to the fine focus. DEPTH OF FIELD Provides structure to plant cells CELL WALL Contains the DNA NUCLEUS Controls the movement of things into and out of the cell PLASMSA MEMBRANE Provide energy for the cell MITOCHONDRIA Membranes that provide a passageway for proteins ER Jelly-like substance inside the cell CYTOPLASM Green organelle that is the site of photosynthesis CHLOROPLAST Credited with naming cells HOOKE Organelle that packages proteins, found on rough ER GOLGI APPARATUS This will be bigger on low power than high power. FIELD OF VIEW All living things are made of cells Cells are the basic unit of structure and function. Cells come from existing cells. CELL THEORY How objects move when looking through a compound microscope OPPOSITE DIRECTION All the chemical processes taking place in a cell METABOLISM Used to bring the object into sharp view. FINE FOCUS Basic unit of heredity GENE Used to find an object COURSE FOCUS Store water for the cell VACUOLE How clear an object appears RESOLUTION Mini-organ ORGANELLE Assembles the proteins in the cell RIBOSOMES The genetic code for a cell, composed of a nucleic acid. DNA Basic cell type that does not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles PROKARYOTE Causes materials to move across the cell membrane IF the membrane is permeable to it CONCENTRATION GRADIENT Type of cell that has a cell wall, chloroplasts and large central vacuole PLANT Study of the number and types of organisms living in a habitat BIOSURVEY Basic type of cell that has a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles EUKARYOTE Having a large variety of organisms in a community present in large numbers. BIODIVERISTY These are always single-celled organisms that are small and do not have a nucleus BACTERIA Changes in inherited traits over time in a population. EVOLUTION The basic unit of life CELL Cells that lack cell walls and the kingdom you belong to. ANIMAL Movement of molecules from an area of greater to an area of lesser concentration. DIFFUSION Movement of water from an area of greater to lesser concentration. OSMOSIS Movement that does not require energy from the cell PASSIVE TRANSPORT The dissolved solids SOLUTE The substance doing the dissolving SOLVENT Mixture of solute and solvent SOLUTION Solution with a lower solute concentration HYPOTONIC Solution with a higher solute concentration HYPERTONIC Solutions with equal solute concentrations ISOTONIC
