that cells are so small you need a microscope to see them
what name is given to the dye used when examining cells
stain
how do you calculate total magnification of a microscope
total magnification=eyepiece magnification x objective magnification

glucose+oxygen = energy+carbon dioxide+water
where does aerobic respiration take place
mitochondria
why is aerobic respiration important for cells
it is the process by which cells make energy
