German botanist Matthias Schleiden concluded that _____ are made of cells
Plants
Rudolph Virchow concluded that new cells are produced from _______
Existing cells
The ________ combines the conclusions made by Schleiden, Schwann, and Virchow.
Cell theory
The size of the image formed by a light microscope is unlimited because light
that passes through matter is diffracted.

To study cells with a light microscope, different types of stains are usually available. Why
is it generally more useful to stain eukaryotic cells than prokaryotic cells?
Cell organelles are hard to see without stains, and so is the nucleus.
_______ are cells that enclose their DNA in nuclei.
Eukaryotes
_______ are cells that do not enclose their DNA in nuclei.
Prokaryotes
Structure in plant cells that captures the sun’s energy and changes it into chemical energy.
Chloroplasts
Network of protein filaments that gives a cell its shape and organizes its organelles
Cytoskeleton
Structure in animal cells that helps organize cell division
Centrioles
Series of flattened sacs that prepares proteins and other materials for export from the cell
Golgi apparatus
Structure around plant cells, fungus cells, and some bacterial cells that supports and protects
Cell wall
Internal membrane system of a cell where proteins are assembled
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Fluid portion of the cell outside the nucleus
Cytoplasm
Structure within a cell that acts like a specialized organ
Organell
Saclike structure that stores materials like water and nutrients
Vacuole
Enzyme-filled structure that breaks down complex molecules or worn-out organelles
Lysosomes
Organelle that changes the chemical energy in food into a form that is easier for the cell to use
Mitochondria
Structure that assembles proteins
Ribosome
Controls most cell processes and stores genetic material
Nucleus
