proposed that new cells are formed only from cells that already exist and he is famous for primitive microscopes
Virchow
observed tiny objects with microscopes and he is famous for the simple microscope
Leeuwenhooke
concluded that all animals are also made up of cells and he is famous for advanced microscopes
Schwann
concluded that all plants are made of cells and he is famous for zeiss microscope lens
Schlidien
observed the structure of a thin slice of cork and he is famous for the compound microscope
Hooke
an instrument that makes small objects look larger
Microscope
uses more than one lense
compound microscope
a widely accepted explanation of the relationship between cells and living things
Cell theory
- to enlarge in fact or appearance
Magnification
sharpness of an image
Resoulution
curved outwars
covex
T/F: Schwann worked alone to develop the cell theory
false
T/F: Organisms who have cells lack a nucleus are called prokaryotes
true
T/F: The cell theory is only true for living things that are small
false
T/F: Magnification is the ability to make things look larger than they are
true
T/F: Chromatin floats in the nucleus which contains genetic material or instructions for the cells functions
true
A light microscope can magnify objects up to __ times their original size.
1500
_____is an instrument that makes small objects appear larger.
Microscope
___ is a rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds the plant cell.
cell wall
___ is the microscope that has better resolution
electron
The lenses in a light microscope magnifies an object by ____ the light that passes through it.
bending
Name the three parts of the cell theory in order.
All living things are composed of cells, Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things, All cells are produced from other cells
Describe the difference between a light microscope and an electron microscope
Electron microscopes produce an image of a spiceimen by using beams of electrons instead a beam of light Electrons have much shorter wavelengths than visible light, and this allows electron microscopes to produce higher-resolution images than standard light microscopes.
How do the cells of bacteria differ from those of other organisms
bacteria lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Unlike animals and plants, bacteria have pili, flagella, and most have a cell capsule.
