Cell Biology Jeopardy

Microscope

100- If the eyepiece has a magnification of 10X and the objective lens has a magnification of 40X what is the total magnification?

400X

200- If I move a slide to the left what direction will it move when you look into the eyepiece?

To the right

300- What is the function of the diaghragm?

Controls amount of light

400- This is the part of the microscope where the specimen is placed to be observed.

Stage

500- On high power which knob should I use to focus with?

Fine adjustment knob

Cell Organelles A

100- The part of the cell that allows substances in and out and gives shape to the cell.

Cell Membrane

200- This is know as the control center of the cell where the genetic information is stored

Nucleus

300- This is the part of the cell where energy is produced to carry out the cell functions

Mitochondria

400- This green organelle is found only in plant cells and is used to manufacture glucose.

Chloroplasts

500- This organelle is found in both plant and animal cells but is much larger in plant cells due to the amount of water plants need.

Vacuole

Cell Organelles B

100- This is the gel-like fluid that fills the cell and all the organelles float in

Cytoplasm

200- These are small internal structures found inside of a cell, each having its own specific job.

Organelles

300- This is the place in the cell where ribosomes are made.

Nucleolus

400- This organelle has the important job of packaging proteins made by the ribosome to keep them protected once they leave the cell.

Golgi body

500- These small round organelles are found attached to the endoplasmic reticulum and are responsible for making proteins.

Ribosomes

Grab Bag

100- What is one difference between a plant and animal cell

Cell wall, central vacuole and chloroplasts

200- When DNA is not dividing it is found in this form in the nucleus

chromatin

300- This is the scientist that first observed cells using a compound microscope

Robert Hooke

400- This is the scientist that first saw living cells in pond water and called them “animalcules”

Anton Von Leeuwenhoek

500- This is the polysaccharide found in cell walls that gives them their rigidity.

Cellulose
