Question | Answer |
---|---|
Eyepiece | Contains a lens, a pointer may be built into the eyepiece |
Arm | Used for carrying the microscope |
Base | The bottom of the microscope |
Nosepiece | The objectives are attached to the nosepiece which revolves to allow usage of all objectives |
Objectives | The magnifying capabilities of the objective lenses are found etched on the surface. |
Scanning objective | Used to scan a slide to locate a particular organism or structure - 40X |
Low power objective | Used for closer observations |
High power objective | For the most detailed study of material |
Mechanical stage | Holds the slides in place |
Coarse adjustment knob | Used to find objects to be viewed |
Fine adjustment knob | used for precise focusing |
Condenser control, field diaphragm and rheostat control | All used to control light |
On/off switch | uhhhh DUH!!! |
Ocular lens magnification | 10X |
Scanning objective magnification | 4X (red, 4.6), total 40X |
Low power objective | 10X (yellow, 1.8), total 100X |
High power objective | 40X (blue, .46), total 400X |
Cell membrane | Semi-permeable, protects the interior contents of the cell, surrounds cytoplasm of the cell |
Nucleus | Contains hereditary info (DNA) and controls cell growth and reproduction |
Chromosomes/chromatin | Loose coiled, usable form of DNA |
Nucleolus | Stores RNA, makes ribosomes |
Nuclear membrane | Selectively permeable, protects chromatin |
Pore | Access to DNA for RNA |
Cytoplasm | Solvent plus organelles, as a whole |
Pinocytic vesicle | Takes water into cell |
Vacuole | Temporary storage site (for glucose, amino acids, etc.) |
Lysosome | Vacuole that has digestive enzymes |
Mitochondria | "Powerhouse" produces ATP (aerobic energy), has its own DNA |
Ribosome | Produces protein |
Endoplasmic reticulum | Stores lipids and glycogen, modifies proteins into glycoproteins |
Golgi apparatus | Packages proteins, modifies protein, ships them out |
Centrosome | Waiting for mitosis |
Centrioles | Directs mitosis |
