Eye piece = always times by 10: so you use 40x eyepiece. Common structural unit shared by all plants = cell. Photosynthesis: unique function of plants: solar energy stored energy that both photosynthetic and non- photosynthetic organisms depend on. Cell wall + plasma membrane (plasmalemma: plasmalemma thick outline to each cell, cell wall has cellulose, pectin, and/or lignin, plasma membrane is made of mainly lipids. Plasmodesmata: pores in the cell walls between 2 adjacent cells. Central vacuole: membrane-bound, fluid filled organelles: provides structure, stores both water and nutrients. Anthocyanin: water-soluble, found only in the vacuole. Mitosis: division, produces two identical daughter cells. Prophase: microtubules begin to form a spindle in interior of cell. Metaphase: chromosomes become aligned along middle axis of nucleus.
