Archae- domain containing organisms with prokaryotic cells that are extremophiles
(live in extreme environments that other organisms find uninhabitable)

Bacteria- domain containing organisms with prokaryotic cells that are more common
to everyday human life; called the true bacteria

Cell wall- protects the cell helps the cell maintain a specific shape, and prevents
dehydration.

Flagella- a whip-like tail, that is used for locomotion.

Pilus- is an extension that is used to exchange genetic material during a type of


reproduction called conjugation.

Cytoplasm- liquid inside a living cell

Plasma membrane- a biological membrane, also called the cell membrane, that
surrounds a cell and selectively controls which substances can enter or leave the
cell. is a double-layer of phospholipids with associated proteins and other molecules

Prokaryotic cell- a type of cell that is simple in structure and lacks a membrane-
enclosed nucleus and membrane-enclosed organelles; they have an outer cell wall
that gives them shape

Ribosome- both prokaryotic and eukaryotic, cell structure that builds proteins by
carrying out the genetic instructions of the cell.

Eukaryotic cell- a type of cell with a nucleus enclosed by a membrane as well as


membrane-enclosed organelles

Halophiles- LOVE extreme salty conditions

Methanogens- methane makers! These are archaea that produce methane and are
killed by exposure to oxygen

Hyperthermophiles- high heat lovers! live in environments that are hotter than
80℃, such as in the waters of hot springs or geothermal pools

Nucleoid- Where genetic material in the form of DNA and RNA is located, looks
like a mess of string in the middle of the cell
Capsule- A hard coat that retains moisture and prevents the bacteria from being
engulfed and destroyed; also enable cell to attach to surfaces

Diaphragm- controls the amount of light entering a microscope

Coarse adjustment knob- on a microscope used first to bring a specimen into


focus; only used on low power (4x or 10x objectives)

Fine adjustment knob- used to sharpen the focus when viewing a specimen using a
microscope; only adjustment that should be used with the 40x objective

Ocular lens- part of a microscope the user looks into to view the specimen;
magnifies the specimen 10x

Compound Light microscope- use lenses, typically made of glass or plastic, to


focus light either into the eye, a camera, or some other light detector

Objective lens- part of a microscope used to magnify an object or specimen;


typically 4x, 10x, or 40x magnification

Scanning electron microscope (SEM)- allow biologists to find the shape and
surface texture of extremely small objects. Forms this samples by scanning it with
a beam of electrons, which creates a three-dimensional image of the specimen.

Robert hooke- used a microscope to zoom in on a piece of cork

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek- The father of microscopy, and used microscopes to


discover bacteria
