3. The part of the microscope that connects the tube to the base.
6. Provides support and protection for the cell.
9. Coined the term "cell" after observing that cork consisted of tiny chambers.
10. Breaks down sugar molecules to release usable energy.
11. Supports and protects cell organelles.

1. Stores food, water, and waste.
2. A microscopic single-celled organism which has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles.
4. I release oxygen as waste.
5. Use energy from the sun to make food for the plant.
