| Biogenesis | the theory that living things come from living things |
| Abiogenesis | the theory that living things come from non living thins |
| Virchow, Schleiden, Schawnn | developed what is now known as the cell theory |

| characteristics of life | reproduce, exhibit growth, exhibit homeostasis, organized, made of cells, energy req,. |
| Leuwenhoek | invented the first microscope |
| Mr. Peabody | Time traveler that took you back into time |
| Field of view | the area that you see when looking through the microscope |
| diaphragm | allows you to regulate the amount of light |

| cork cell | dead cell, consisting of only a cell wall |
| nucleolus | small circular structures found inside the nucleus and thougt to be involved in protein synthesis |
| chromosomes | genetic material found in the nucleus |
| lysosome | special type of vacuole that contains digestive enzymes that break down large molecules into small ones |
| vacuole | stores wastes, water and food in plant cells |
| gated channels | one mechanism of getting materials through the cell membrane |
| pinocytotic vessicles | when the cell membrane either pushes in or out allowing large molecules to either enter or leave the cell. |
| microville | creates more surface area on the cell membrane to allow more materials into or out of the cell |
