8. What goes on the “Y” axis? Dependent variable

9. Graphing data should fill most of the graph, how do you calculate the scale? Divide the highest data result by the total number of lines

10. If the data table had the results of 37, 42, 25, & 7 and the graph had 50 lines, what would be the best scale? (.84 and round up to next.5)= 1

13. What happens to the cell if the volume exceeds the surface area? It bursts

14. How are cells differentiated? -size -shape -Internal organization

15. Pro means_______ and kary means_________. nucleus Before

16. Eu means _____ and kary means______ nucleus True

17. What are the main characteristics of prokaryote cells? -unicellar (bacteria) -composed of DNA, ribosomes, cytoplasm & cell membrane -tiny for a cell

18. What are the main characteristics of eukaryote cells? -multicellular or unicellular -composed of a cell membrane that bounds a nucleus and organelles -Plants, protists, fungi, & animals -larger cells

19.Which cell is larger and by how much? Eukaryote is 1000x larger than the prokaryote

20. What happened in 1665? Robert Hooke looked at slices of dead cork under a microscope and named the small units “cells”

21. What happened in 1674? Anton van Leeuwenhoek “Father of Microbiology” looked at small living things in pond water under a microscope

22. What happened in 1838? Matthias Schleiden concluded that plants are made up of cells

23. What happened in 1839? Theodor Schwann concluded that animals are made up of cells

24. What happened in 1855? Rudolf Virchow-concluded that new cells are produced from other cells

25. What are the 3 things make up the cell theory? 1-All living things are composed of cells 2-Cells are the basic structure and function in living things 3-New cells are produced from existing cells

26. What are the 8 characteristics of living things? 1-Made of cells 2-Reproduce (sexually or asexually) 3-universal genetic code (DNA & RNA) 4-obtain & use materials and energy 5-respond to their environment 6-grow and develop 7-maintain stable internal environment (homeostasis) 8-As a group change over time (evolve)

27. What is homeostasis? Maintain a stable environment (temperature/chemically etc.)

28. Biology is a broad term that covers what? Study of living things

29. What does magnification do? Makes things larger

30. What does resolution do? Makes things clearer

31. What are the advantages and disadvantages of electron microscopes? 2 major advantages- 2 major disadvantages- Great resolution and magnification specimen must be dead & expensive

32. What are the advantages and disadvantages of compound light microscopes? 2 major advantages- 2 major disadvantages- Inexpensive and specimens can be alive poor resolution and magnification

33. What is the most common eyepiece power? 10X

34. What are the 3 most common objective lenses powers? 4X, 10X, & 40X

35. What is the total magnification when using the 3 different objective lenses? Show your work 4X10=40X 10 X 10= 100X 40 X 10 = 400X

36. How do you remove bubbles from a wet mount slide? Tap it with an eraser

37. How do you add more water or stain to a completed wet mount slide? Put a drop on side of slip cover—DO NOT LIFT COVERSLIP!

38. When staining, you add the_________ to one side of the slip cover and draw it across the specimen by putting __________on the other side of the slip cover. stain paper towel
