Leeuwenhoek

Levels of Organisation Matching

Cell A. is a simple structure made up of

cells of the same type working
together to carry out a specific
function
Organelle B. When two or more tissues
combine and work together to
perform a specialized task
Tissue C. groups of related organs that work
together to carry out a function for
the body or organism

9
Organ D. Are parts of the cell that carry out
a particular role within the cell

System E. They are the building blocks of life

Microscope Parts Matching

Stage Clips A. brings the image into focus; used
only with the scanning objectives

Diaphragm
B. supports the microscope slide

Stage C. brings the image into clearer

focus; used only with the low and
high power objectives
Coarse Adjustment Knob D. holds the slide in place

Fine Adjustment Knob E. controls the amount of light

reaching the object

Cell Organelle Matching

A.) It separates the inside of the cell from the
Cell wall outer environment and is semi-permeable.

B.) These are sacs within the cell that contain

Chloroplast strong chemicals that digest molecules.

C.) It controls all the activities in the cell. It is

Vacuole also known as “the control center” of the cell.

10
 D.) This holds all the organelles in place. This
Cell Membrane jelly like substance surrounds the nucleus.

E.) Nickname: “The Storage Facility”

Mitochondria

F.) It packages and transports proteins, and

Nucleus holds waste products until the cell is ready to
get rid of them.
G.) It transports materials. Food, water, and
Endoplasmic
waste move around and out of the cell through
Reticulum
this organelle.
H.) This provides protection and strength for the
Golgi Body plant cell.
