Cell and Molecular Biology (Lab)

  1. What is the difference between eukaryotes and prokaryotes?
    The eukaryotes have organelles which include the nucleus and other special parts while prokaryotes have no nucleus or membrane-enclosed organelles.
  2. separates and protects the interior of all cells from the outside environment
    Cell Membrane
  3. it stores the cell's DNA and maintain its integrity
    Nucleus
  4. in charge of the facilitating the ribosome biogenesis, through the processing and assembly of rRNA into preribosomal.
    Nucleolus
  5. produce proteins for the rest of the cell to function
    Endoplasmic Reticulum
  6. they are the powerhouse of a cell as they play an important role in releasing energy.
    Mitochondria
  7. organizing microtubules that serve as the cell's skeletal system
    Centrioles
  8. Its main function is the packaging and secretion of proteins.
    Golgi Apparatus
  9. it is the site of protein synthesis in the cell
    Ribosomes
  10. responsible for holding the components of the cell and protects them from damage
    Cytoplasm
  11. help sequester waste products
    Vacuole
  12. they provide the rigid, organized components of the cytoskeleton that give shape to many cells
    Microtubule
  13. The lens the viewer looks through to see the specimen.
    Eyepiece
  14. connects the eyepiece to the objective lenses
    body tube
  15. connects the body tube to the base of the microscope
    Arm
  16. A rotating turret that houses the objective lenses
    Nosepiece
  17. supports the microscope and it’s where illuminator is located
    Base
  18. Adjusts the amount of light that reaches the specimen
    Iris diaphragm
  19. To illuminate the subject (specimen) on the stage
    Light source
  20. the lenses that directly observe the object the microscope user is examining
    Objective lenses
  21. The flat platform where the slide is placed
    Stage
  22. Metal clips that hold the slide in place
    Stage clips
  23. tunes the focus and increases the detail of the specimen.
    Fine adjustment knob
  24. Brings the specimen into general focus.
    Coarse adjustment knob
