Cell Biology Jeopardy
Microscope
100- If the eyepiece has a magnification of 10X and the objective lens has a
magnification of 40X what is the total magnification?
400X
200- If I move a slide to the left what direction will it move when you look into the
eyepiece?
To the right
300- What is the function of the diaghragm?
Controls amount of light
400- This is the part of the microscope where the specimen is placed to be observed.
Stage
500- On high power which knob should I use to focus with?
Fine adjustment knob
Cell Organelles A
100- The part of the cell that allows substances in and out and gives shape to the cell.
Cell Membrane
200- This is know as the control center of the cell where the genetic information is stored
Nucleus
300- This is the part of the cell where energy is produced to carry out the cell functions
Mitochondria
400- This green organelle is found only in plant cells and is used to manufacture glucose.
Chloroplasts
500- This organelle is found in both plant and animal cells but is much larger in plant
cells due to the amount of water plants need.
Vacuole
Cell Organelles B
100- This is the gel-like fluid that fills the cell and all the organelles float in
Cytoplasm
200- These are small internal structures found inside of a cell, each having its own
specific job.
Organelles
300- This is the place in the cell where ribosomes are made.
Nucleolus
400- This organelle has the important job of packaging proteins made by the ribosome to
keep them protected once they leave the cell.
Golgi body
500- These small round organelles are found attached to the endoplasmic reticulum and
are responsible for making proteins.
Ribosomes
Grab Bag
100- What is one difference between a plant and animal cell
Cell wall, central vacuole and chloroplasts
200- When DNA is not dividing it is found in this form in the nucleus
chromatin
300- This is the scientist that first observed cells using a compound microscope
Robert Hooke
400- This is the scientist that first saw living cells in pond water and called them
“animalcules”
Anton Von Leeuwenhoek
500- This is the polysaccharide found in cell walls that gives them their rigidity.
Cellulose
