Cells Vocab review

What is the function of a compound microscope?

• To magnify images using light

• To study the structure of cells

• To create a barrier between the cell and its environment

• To regulate diffusion of molecules in and out of the cell

What does the field of view refer to?

• The amount of the image seen through the ocular of the microscope

• The structure of the cell membrane

• The process of protein synthesis

• The maintenance of an internal and stable environment

What is the cell theory?

• The theory that states all cells are made of cells, function & structure

• The theory that states all cells have a nucleus

• The theory that states all cells contain chloroplasts

• The theory that states all cells are prokaryotic

How is total magnification calculated?

• By multiplying the ocular magnification by the objective magnification

• By adding the ocular magnification to the objective magnification

• By dividing the ocular magnification by the objective magnification

• By subtracting the ocular magnification from the objective magnification

What does the orientation of a specimen refer to?

• The direction the specimen is facing while viewed with a microscope

• The shape of the cell membrane

• The process of cellular respiration

• The movement of organelles within a cell

What is the function of an ocular in a microscope?

• To provide magnification

• To adjust the amount of contrast light/dark on the microscope

• To focus the specimen

• To regulate diffusion of molecules in and out of the cell

What are the objectives in a microscope?

• The magnifying lenses of a microscope

• The small cellular structures with specific structures & functions

• The structures containing DNA in the nucleus of cells

• The cell organelles used for storage of gases, wastes, water, nutrients
