What are prokaryotes? | A single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus, and other membrane-bound organelles. |
What are eukaryotes? | Organisms whose cells have a nucleus enclosed within a nuclear envelope. |
What is the difference between pro and eukaryotic cells? | Eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus and prokaryotic cells do not. Prokaryotes are significantly smaller than eukaryotes |
What are the requirements for cell survival? | energy sources, simple nutrients, removal of wastes, acids, ions and water. |
What is cellular respiration? | Metabolic reactions that convert chemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate, and then release waste products. |
Define the mitochondria | Membrane-bound cell organelles that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions. |
Define the chloroplast | Membrane-bound organelle known as a plastid that conducts photosynthesis |
Define the rough endoplasmic reticulum | Connected flattened sacs, part of a continuous membrane organelle within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, that plays a central role in the synthesis of proteins. |
Define the lysosome | Organelles that contain enzymes that break down all types of biological polymers—proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. |
What is the formula for total magnification? | Multiply the magnification power of the ocular lens by the power of the objective lens. |
What is the formula for field of view? | Field Number ÷ Objective Magnification |
Identify the following structure: | Chloroplast |
Identify the following structure: | Rough endoplasmic reticulum |
Identify the following structure: | Mitochondria |
Identify the following structure | lysosome |
Define plastids | Double-membrane organelles which are found in the cells of plants and algae. Plastids are responsible for manufacturing and storing of food. |
Define the smooth endoplasmic reticulum | It synthesizes lipids, phospholipids as in plasma membranes, and steroids |
