| field of view | the amount and detail of a material as seen under a microscope. The higher the magnification, the smaller the field of view. |
| magnify/magnification | To make an object appear bigger and with more detail. |
| disease | a breakdown in the structure or function of a living organism. |
| microbe | creatures that are too small to be seen with the human eye. |
| cell | the basic unit of structure and function of living things. Sometimes described as looking like little “rooms”. Microscopic. |
| multicellular | made up of more than one cell. |
| cell membrane | separates the cell from the environment. Acts as a barrier to control what enters and leaves the cell. |
| cytoplasm | material that fills much of the inside of the cell. |
| nucleus | control center of the cell. |
| nuclear membrane | separates the nucleus from the rest of the inside of the cell. Acts as a barrier to control what enters and leaves the nucleus. |
| cell wall | Found in plants cells, not in animal cells. Helps to protect and support the plant so that it can grow tall. |
| nucleolus | “little nucleus” Site of ribosome production. |
| endoplasmic reticulum | Clear, tubular, passageway. It is a transportation system. Carries proteins from one part of the cell to another. |
| ribosome | Most are attached to the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum. Protein making site of the cell. |
| mitiochondria | Supply most of the energy for the cell. |
| vacuole | Food and other materials needed by the cell are stored inside these. Can store waste too. |
| lysosomes | Common in animal cells. Involved in digesting food for the cell to use for energy. |
| chloroplasts | Chlorophyll captures the energy of the sun so the plant can use it to make food. |
| cellular respiration | Process that provides energy your body needs and releases carbon dioxide as waste. |
| unicellular | organism made up of one cell |
| chromosomes | directs cell activities, including growth and reproduction |
| photosynthesis | The process that uses carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to make food and release oxygen as a waste product. |
