Cell Bingo Call Sheet
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.
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.
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
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
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.
