    Nucleolus
  • The ideas that: All living things are made up of cells, cells are the basic units of life, and all cells are created from existing cells is referred to as..
    The Cell Theory
  • What colour has the longest wavelength, or the lowest frequency?
    Red
  • This system brings oxygen into the body and expels carbon dioxide
    Respiratory system
  • An organism that is made up of only one cell that carries out all the functions needed by the organism.
    Unicellular
  • The part of the eye that refracts the most light entering the eye?
    Cornea
  • A material that allows light to pass through unaffected, an object appears clear through it.
    Transparent
  • If a light ray passes from air into glass at an angle, what happens to the refracted light ray?
    It bends toward the normal.
  • An organism that is made of more than one cell, with groups of cells taking on different specialized functions.
    Multicellular
  • Objective Magnification × Eyepiece Magnification =
    Total Magnification
  • What is the name of the incoming ray in a reflection model?
    Incident ray
  • The basic structural unit of an organism.
    Cell
  • The property of light that describes the fact that light travels in straight lines.
    Rectilinear Propagation
  • A material that allows light to pass through but scatters it in the process, an object appears fuzzy through it.
    Translucent
  • The type of reflection that produces a blurry image of the surroundings
    Diffuse reflection
  • Near sighted vision problems is corrected with what type of lens?
    Concave
  • These two systems work together to bring glucose to the cells
    digestive and circulatory
  • Groups of cells that have a similar structure and that function together.
    Tissues
  • What is the name of the ray that is bouncing off the mirror in ray in a reflection model?
    reflected ray
  • What is one positive use for x-rays?
    Identifying bone fractures or breaks
  • A shirt appears blue on a bright sunny day because?
    The shirt reflects blue light
  • Identify B.
  • Give three differences between a plant cell and an animal cell
    chloroplasts, large vacuole, cell wall
  • This image is produced from sight lines (or extended rays)
    Virtual image
  • What type of electromagnetic radiation has the shortest wavelength?
    Gamma rays
  • The fine adjustment knob sharpens the view of the specimen. This is the only adjustment knob needed while using the high power lenses.
    Fine adjustment knob
  • These are used to magnify the specimen in low power (4x), medium power (10x) and high power (40x).
    Objectives Lens
  • These organelles are the smallest in the cell and create proteins, often referred to as protein factories
    Ribosomes
  • What is a risk of overexposure to x-rays?
    Could develop cancer
  • These two systems work together to bring oxygen to the cells
    respiratory and circulatory
  • Write the order of cell organization from smallest to largest
    cell, tissue, organs, organ system
  • This system is responsible for stability and movement of human body.
    Musculoskeletal system
  • The part of the eye where the light is focused to form an image?
    Retina
  • The type of reflection that produces a clear image of the surroundings
    Specular reflection
  • This system controls the absorption and digestion of food
    Digestive system
  • Place the electromagnetic spectrum from longest to shortest wavelength.
    Radio, microwave, infrared, visible, UV, x-ray, gamma
  • This is a barrier around the cell. It is semi-permeable, meaning that it allows some things to enter the cell while other things are excluded. It's role is to control the entry and exit of various substances in the cell.
    Cell membrane
  • This organelle produce energy necessary for the cell’s survival and functioning. The energy is converted from glucose into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is usable energy.
    Mitochondria
  • This provides support for the internal structures of the cell. It contains the cell's organelles.
    Cytoplasm
