A microscope is a laboratory instrument scientists use to examine objects that cannot be seen by naked eyes.
In addition to providing protection, shape, and strength to the cell, the membrane helps regulate the flow of materials in and out of the cell
This quiz covers the range of cell sizes (0.5–40 microns), comparisons between cell types (neurons, ostrich egg, red blood cells), and unit conversions between microns, millimeters, and meters.
This quiz focuses on the three tenets of cell theory, and the contributions of Schleiden, Schwann, and other early cell researchers, including the development of microscopy leading to cell discovery
This quiz covers the major organelles found in animal and plant cells: nucleus, nucleolus, endoplasmic reticulum (rough and smooth), ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, mitochondria, vacuoles, chloroplasts, microfilaments, and microtubules - their structure and roles.
This quiz covers the powerhouse of the cell: ATP production, the roles of cristae and matrix, the outer and inner membranes, fat droplet storage, and why mitochondria are most abundant in high-energy cells.
Compare-and-contrast quiz on structures exclusive to plant cells (cell wall, chloroplasts, large central vacuole, plasmodesmata, tonoplast) vs. animal cells (centrioles, lysosomes), plus shared organelles
This quiz covers chloroplast structure (stroma, grana, lamellae, outer membrane), the role of plastids, and how chloroplasts compare to mitochondria in function and location
Focuses on plant vacuoles (tonoplast, cell sap, hyperosmotic conditions), contractile vacuoles in single-celled organisms, and the role of vacuoles in storing toxic compounds
This quiz covers the 9+2 microtubule arrangement in cilia and flagella, basal bodies, centriole structure (9 triplet sets), their role during mitosis (spindle formation, asters), and differences between animal and plant cells
