| Cell | The basic unit of structure and function of living things |
| Cell Theory | 1) The cell is the basic unit of structure of all living things 2) All life functions are carried out by cells or parts of cells 3) Cells arise (come) from other living cells |
| Unicellular | Single celled (one-celled) |
| Multicellular | Many celled |
| Anton van Leeuwenhoek | Made early microscope; saw bacteria and protists |
| Robert Hooke | Magnified dead cork tissue and named "cells" |
| Matthias Schleiden | Discovered that all plants are made of cells |
| Theodor Schwann | Discovered that all animals are made of cells |
| Rudolph Virchow | Stated that all new cells must come from previously existing cells |
| Compound Light Microscope | Microscope most commonly used for cell study |
| Specimen | Material being studied (under microscope) |
| Electron Microscope | A microscope that uses a beam of electrons instead of a beam of light (and magnifies more than 100,000 times) |
| Magnify | Enlarge |
| Total magnification | Total amount the image is enlarged (eyepiece lens power x objective lens power) |
| Micrometer (micron) | 1/1000 of a millimeter |
| Microbiologist | A life scientist that studies organisms so tiny that they must be seen under a microscope |
| Specialization | The special structures and shape of different cells which helps them do their function (job) |
| Dr. Birdley | A fictional character in the cartoons used for our study of cell theory |
| Micah | Mrs. Daily's wonderful grandson! |
| Eye piece lens power | magnifies the specimen 10x |
