Across
  1. 1. magnifies the object 10x; also called the eyepiece
  2. 4. Sac used for storage of waste and fluid
  3. 5. Stores, modifies and packages proteins made in the ER
  4. 8. Flat part of the microscope where you place the slide
  5. 9. structural components of the microscope; what you hold when carrying the microscope
  6. 10. part of the plant that contains the male or female reproductive structures
  7. 12. moves the stage up and down; used on low-power objective lens only
  8. 16. Basic unit of structure and function of all living thing
  9. 17. Rigid structure in plant cells that is the outermost part of the cell; it provides support for the cell
  10. 20. moves the stage slightly to get the object into sharp focus; used second when trying to get a clear image
  11. 21. where an offspring is produced by 2 parents, and it is genetically unique from both parents
  12. 23. A network of canals which carry around cell materials; rough (proteins)and smooth (lipids)
  13. 26. part of the plant that grows underground, anchors the plant, absorbs water and minerals from oil and is often used to store sugar
  14. 27. Contains chlorophyll that is used to trap sun's energy and use it to create sugar
  15. 28. Sac containing many enzymes; used to fight against bacteria and viruses
  16. 29. lens that condenses and directs the light at the specimen being viewed.
  17. 30. Double layered lipid barrier that surrounds the whole cell and regulates what mat enters/ exit the cell
Down
  1. 2. rotates, allowing the objective lenses to be changed
  2. 3. Control centre of the cell; contains genetic material of the cell
  3. 6. part of the plant where photosynthesis takes place, chloroplasts are found here
  4. 7. Regulates the amount of lightreaching thr object being viewed
  5. 11. Component of a cell; each has its own structure and function
  6. 13. where an offspring is produces by one parent, and is genetically identical to the parent
  7. 14. supports the plants leaved and flowers and provides a way to transport materials the plant needs
  8. 15. used to magnify the object; usually 3 or 4 of them
  9. 18. Liquid inside the cell
  10. 19. Power house of the cell; site where glucose is metabolized into usable energy in the body (ATP)
  11. 22. Large sac to fill with water; aids in turgor pressure for the cell
  12. 24. Organelle responsible for simple protein production
  13. 25. Sac that is used to protect proteins travelling the cytoplasm; "vehicle for proteins"
