First steps in studying should include making a “crib”-style sheet(s) summarizing all we learned in the
unit. Then, refer to any quizzes we did. Lastly, try these questions below.
1. a) Can you label the parts of the microscope and describe the function of each part?
b) What magnifications are possible with our microscopes? Which two lenses contribute to this
magnification?
2. What are the steps in preparing a wet mount?
3. What are the steps in focusing a specimen under high magnification?
4. What steps should be taken when putting away a microscope?
5. Can you label the parts of a plant and an animal cell, and describe the function of each part?

risk? What are several ways that doctors treat cancer?
