Question
Answer
Contrast   The degree to which image details stand out against their background  
🗑
Magnification   The amount that the image of an object is enlarged.  
🗑
field of view   circle of light you see when looking into the microscope  
🗑
resolving power   The extent to which object detail in an image is preserved during the magnifying process.  
🗑
parfocal   image remains in coarse focus  
🗑
parcentral   center of field of view remains the same for each objective.  
🗑
depth of field   distance through which you can move the specimen and still have it remain in focus.  
🗑
Macromolecule   large organic materials of which all cells are made.  
🗑
carbohydrate   simple sugar or a larger molecule composed of multiple sugar units.  
🗑
monosaccharide   single sugar molecules  
🗑
disaccharide   two monosaccharides joined together  
🗑
polysaccharide   more than two monosaccharides bonded together  
🗑
lipid   oily or greasy compounds insoluble in water, but dissolvable in non-polar solvents.  
🗑
Protein   enzymes as well as structural components of bones, muscle, hair, fingernails.  
🗑
3 Principles of Cell Theory   1.All organisms are composed of cells 2.The cell is the basic living unit of organization 3. All cells arise from preexisting cells.  
🗑
Prokaryotic   cells without a nucleus. (Bacteria)  
🗑
Eukaryotic   cells with a nucleus (plant, animal)  
🗑
nucleus   a double membrane-bounded compartment within the cytoplasm  
🗑
organelle   membrane-bounded compartments specialized to perform specific functions.  
🗑
3 bacterial shapes   1.coccus 2.bacillus 3.spirillum  
🗑
What 3 structural features do all eukaryotic cells share?   1.plasma membrane 2.dna 3.cytoplasm  
🗑
plasma membrane   boundary of all living material  
🗑
cytoplasm   everything within the plasma membrane that is not part of the DNA region.  
🗑
DNA   stores genetic information  
🗑
Solvent   dissolving medium  
🗑
solute   dissolved substance  
🗑
solution   combination of solvent and solute  
🗑
selective permeability   allowing some substances to move easily while completely excluding others.  
🗑
diffusion   the movement of solute molecules from a region of high concentration to one of lower concentration.  
🗑
osmosis   movement of water across selectively permeable membranes.  
🗑
concentration gradient   the difference in concentration of like molecules in two regions  
🗑
equilibrium   the concentration of solvent and solute molecules becomes equally distributed.  
🗑
turgid   water moves into cell creating turgor pressure which presses cytoplasm against the cell wall.  
🗑
plasmolysis   cell losing water causing wilting  
🗑
catalyst   lowers the amount of energy necessary for a chemical reaction to occur  
🗑
enzyme-substrate complex   substrate and enzyme reacting together  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
