Microscopes, Cells & Organelles

4. Cells shape often reflects their job; they change to do specific jobs in the organism.
5. Used to focus the image only under low power only.
7. Makes usable cell energy called ATP.
10. Used to focus the image under high power.
11. Takes in and breaks down the waste or trash in a cell.
13. Holds and protects DNA in eukaryotic cells.
14. A cell that has a nucleus & membrane bound organelles.
15. Collects, modifies & repackages proteins in a cell and prepares them to be shipped out.
18. Short hairs on a cell’s surface, used for movement.
20. Absorbs sunlight and uses its energy to make sugar.
21. A tool used to magnify a small organism.
23. Controls what enters and leaves the cell (found around all cells).

1. Rigid structure found outside of the cell membrane in plant cells.
2. Transport channels for material to move through the cell.
3. Changes the amount of light shining on the specimen to see more detail.
6. Little spikes on the outside of bacteria cells; helps them stick to surfaces.
8. A structure in a cell that has a specialized task.
9. Storage structure in both plant and animal cells.
12. A cell that does not have a nucleus or membrane bound organelles.
16. Used to magnify your image (attached to the revolving nosepiece).
17. Site of proteins production, found in all cells.
19. An extra protective layer found outside of a bacteria’s cell wall. It allows the bacteria to survive in harsh conditions.
22. Long whip-like tails that cells use for movement.
