Microscopes, Cells & Organelles

1. Long whip-like tails that cells use for movement.
2. Little spikes on the outside of bacteria cells; helps them stick to surfaces.
3. Makes usable cell energy called ATP.
6. Transport channels for material to move through the cell.
7. Absorbs sunlight and uses its energy to make sugar.
8. A cell that has a nucleus & membrane bound organelles.
9. Rigid structure found outside of the cell membrane in plant cells.
10. Cells shape often reflects their job; they change to do specific jobs in the organism.
13. An extra protective layer found outside of a bacteria’s cell wall. It allows the bacteria to survive in harsh conditions.
15. Changes the amount of light shining on the specimen to see more detail.
16. Takes in and breaks down the waste or trash in a cell.
17. Storage structure in both plant and animal cells.
18. Site of proteins production, found in all cells.

1. Used to focus the image under high power.
2. A cell that does not have a nucleus or membrane bound organelles.
4. Collects, modifies & repackages proteins in a cell and prepares them to be shipped out.
5. A structure in a cell that has a specialized task.
7. Short hairs on a cell’s surface, used for movement.
11. Controls what enters and leaves the cell (found around all cells).
12. Used to magnify your image (attached to the revolving nosepiece).
14. Holds and protects DNA in eukaryotic cells.
