A. Rudolf Virchow.

7. The cell theory states:
A. All living things are composed of cells.
Cells are thebasic units of structure and function in living things.
New cells are produced from existing cells.

8. Proposes the idea that certain organelles, tiny structures within some cells, were oncefree-living cells themselves.

9. What is a scanning probe microscope?
A. Microscope that scans a tiny probe just above the surface of a sample and produces an image by recordingthe position of the probe.

10. What are a confocal light microscopes?
A. Microscopes that construct images by scanning cells with a computer-controlled laser beam.

A. Eukaryotes cells.

15. Are cellsthat do not contain nuclei?
A. Prokaryotes cells.

Eukaryotic Cell Structure

1. What are organelles?
A. Are structures in the cell that act as if the are specialized organs.

2. Is theportion of the cell outside the nucleus?
A. Cytoplasm.

3. Is composed of two membranes, is dotted with thousands of nuclear pores, which allow material to move into and out the nucleus.
