Objective Lens
Lens closest to the
specimen or object
Nosepiece
Objectives fastened
to this revolving
structure
Stage
Where you place
your slide
Stage clips
Hold slide in place
Body Tube
Light travels through
here
Light Source
Provides light
Diaphragm
Regulates the light
reaching the
objective lens
Base
Supports the
microscope
Arm
Holds the body
tube, acts as a
handle
While
viewing
under the
microscope
Electron Microscopes
Can magnify
things more
than 300,000
times
Cell Theory
1. All organisms are made up of one
or more cells
2. Cells are the basic units of
structure and function in all
organisms
3. All cells come from cells that
already exist
Cell Membrane
Structure that forms the outer
boundary of the cell and allows
only certain materials to move in
and out of the cell
Cytoplasm
Gel-like material inside the cell
membrane
Organelles
Structures within the cytoplasm of
eukaryotic cells
Nucleus
Structure that directs all the
activities of the cell
Contains the DNA
Chromatin
Made up of protein and DNA
(genetic blue print)
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Folded membrane that moves
materials around in the cell
Some have ribosomes on them,
some dont
Ribosomes
Make
proteins
Some found
on ER
Others in
cytoplasm
Golgi Bodies
The packaging and secreting
organelles of the cell
Mitochondria
Where food molecules are broken
down and energy is released
Lysosomes
Digests wastes
and worn out
cell parts
Vacuoles
Storage areas, store water, food, wastes
Small in animals and large in plants
Cell Wall
Rigid structure
outside the cell
membrane that
supports and
protects the
plant cell
Chloroplasts
Organelles where light energy is
changed into chemical energy in
the form of a sugar called glucose
(C6H12O6)
Chlorophyll
Chemical in chloroplasts that
traps light energy reflects green
light
Bacterial Cells
Prokaryotic
Dont have membrane bound
organelles
Nerve Cell
Send impulses
through your
body
Tissues
Groups of similar cells that do
similar things
Ex.) smooth muscle tissue
Organ
A structure made up of different
types of tissues that work
together
Ex.) stomach
Organ System
A group of organs working
together to do a certain job
Ex.) digestive system
