17. What are the main characteristics of prokaryote cells?

-unicellar (bacteria)-composed of DNA, ribosomes, cytoplasm & cell membrane

-tiny for a cell

18. What are the main characteristics of eukaryote cells?

-multicellular or unicellular-composed of a cell membrane that bounds a nucleus and

organelles-Plants, protists, fungi, & animals

-larger cells

19.Which cell is larger and by how much?

Eukaryote is 1000x larger than the prokaryote

20. What happened in 1665?

Robert Hooke looked at slices of dead cork under a microscope and named the small units “cells”

21. What happened in 1674?

Anton van Leeuwenhoek “Father of Microbiology” looked at small living things in pond water under a microscope

22. What happened in 1838?

Matthias Schleiden concluded that plants are made up of cells

23. What happened in 1839?

Theodor Schwann concluded that animals are made up of cells

24. What happened in 1855?

Rudolf Virchow-concluded that new cells are produced from other cells

25. What are the 3 things make up the cell theory?

1-All living things are composed of cells2-Cells are the basic structure and function in living

things3-New cells are produced from existing cells

26. What are the 8 characteristics of living things?

1-Made of cells2-Reproduce (sexually or asexually)3-universal genetic code (DNA & RNA)4-obtain & use materials and energy5-respond to their environment6-grow and develop7-maintain stable internal environment (homeostasis)8-As a group change over time (evolve)

27. What is homeostasis?

Maintain a stable environment (temperature/chemically etc.)

28. Biology is a broad term that covers what?

Study of living things

29. What does magnification do?

Makes things larger

30. What does resolution do?

Makes things clearer

31. What are the advantages and disadvantages of electron microscopes?

2 major advantages-2 major disadvantages-

Great resolution and magnification specimen must be dead & expensive

32. What are the advantages and disadvantages of compound light microscopes?

2 major advantages-

2 major disadvantages-

Inexpensive and specimens can be alivepoor resolution and magnification

33. What is the most common eyepiece power?

10X

34. What are the 3 most common objective lenses powers?

4X, 10X, & 40X

35. What is the total magnification when using the 3 different objective lenses? Show your work

4X10=40X 10 X 10= 100X 40 X 10 = 400X

36. How do you remove bubbles from a wet mount slide?

Tap it with an eraser

37. How do you add more water or stain to a

completed wet mount slide?

• Put a drop on side of slip cover—DO NOT LIFT COVERSLIP!

38. When staining, you add the_________ to one side of the slip cover and draw it across the specimen by putting __________on the other side of the slip cover.

stain
