| light microscope | An optical instrument with lenses that refract (bend) visible light to magnify images of specimens. |
| Part one of the Cell Theory | 1. All organisms are composed of one or more cells. |
| Part two of the Cell Theory | 2.The cells is the basic unit of life in all living things. |
| Part three of the Cell Theory | 3.The cells are produced by the division of preexisting cells. |
| How has the cell theory been used? | Cell Theory have been used for vaccines, disease, cure for cancer, cloning, health, and medical research. |
| Homeostasis | A tendency to maintain a balanced or constant internal state; the regulation of any aspect of body chemistry, such as blood glucose, around a particular level |
| mitosis | cellular reproduction; cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the same number of chromosomes |
