Unit 2: Cells & Microscope
2
Cell Objectives: 1. Know the Organization of life. 2. Know who first saw cells. 3. Know The Cell Theory. 4. Know the differences between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells. 5. Know the 12 organelles in Eukaryotic cells. 6. Know the differences between plant and animal cells.
3
Cells All living things are composed of cells. A cell is a membrane-covered structure that contains all of the materials necessary for life. An organism is anything that can live on its own.
4
Organisms can be unicellular or multicellular. Unicellular: Made up of only one cell. They usually need to be seen using a microscope. Multi-cellular: Made up of more than one cell. They have groups of cells that work together.
5
Discovery of Cells Cells were discovered in 1665 by Robert Hooke. He was looking at cork from the bark of a tree using a microscope. Anton van Leeuwenhoek saw the first living cells in 1673. He observed pond scum, blood and was the first person to see bacteria.
6
The Cell Theory Scientists later discovered a lot more about cells using more powerful microscopes. They developed The Cell Theory. The Cell Theory States: o Cells are the smallest living thing o Every living thing is made of cells o Cells divide to form new cells Theodor Schwann developed the theory in 1839.
7
Organization of Life For Multi-cellular organisms: cells tissues organisms organ systems organs Make up
8
Types of Cells Prokaryotic: Eukaryotic: Cells that do NOT have a nucleus Do NOT have membrane bound organelles Circular DNA Bacteria Cells that DO have a nucleus Do have membrane bound organelles Linear DNA All other organisms
9
Cell Parts (Organelles) cytoplasm cell membrane cell wall nucleus nucleolus ribosomes endoplasmic reticulum mitochondria chloroplast Golgi complex vacuole lysosomes Eukaryotic Cells:

Types of Eukaryotic Cells Animal: Plant:

Types of Eukaryotic Cells Animal: Plant:
12
Function of cell parts 1. Cytoplasm Jelly-like fluid inside cell Organelles are found floating here
13
Function of cell parts 2. Cell Membrane Protects the cell Keeps cytoplasm inside Allows materials in and out of the cell
14
Function of cell parts Provides strength and support to cell membrane Found only in plant cells Gives plant cells their square shape 3. Cell Wall Cell wall Cell membrane
15
Function of cell parts Control center of the cell = “brain” Where DNA is found 4. Nucleus 5. Nucleolus Stores materials to make ribosomes Found inside nucleus
16
Function of cell parts Site of protein synthesis Amino acids are joined together to make proteins. Are found in cytoplasm or attached to endoplasmic reticulum Smallest but most abundant organelle 6. Ribosomes
17
Function of cell parts Internal delivery system Makes lipids and other materials for inside and outside the cell. Breaks down drugs and other harmful chemicals. May be covered with ribosomes (Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum) Found near nucleus 7. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
18
Function of cell parts Powerhouse of the cell Energy for the cell is made here from nutrients Surrounded by two membranes 8. Mitochondria
19
Function of cell parts Absorbs sunlight to help plants make nutrients for energy Contains chlorophyll (green pigment) Found only in plant cells 9. Chloroplast
20
Function of cell parts Materials are packaged in vesicles for shipment outside of the cell. Located near the cell membrane 10. Golgi Complex
21
Function of cell parts Stores water and other liquids Large vacuoles found in plants 11. Vacuole Contractile Vacuole: Squeezes excess waterout of the cell
22
Function of cell parts Digest (breakdown) materials found in vesicles with enzymes (chemicals). Get rid of wastes Protect the cell against invaders Found in Animal cells 12. Lysosomes
23
Golgi Complex cell membrane nucleolus cell wall chloroplast nucleus lysosome ribosome cytoplasm DNA ER mitochondria vacuole Animal Cell Plant Cell
24
Comparing Plant & Animal Cells Animal Plant Both lysosomes Cell wall Chloroplast vacuole Cell membrane nucleus cytoplasmmitochondria Golgi complexribosomes ER nucleolus DNA
25
Microscope Objectives: 1. Know the parts of the microscope. 2. Know the functions of microscope parts. 3. Know how to determine orientation of an object under the microscope. 4. Know how to determine magnification, field of view and size of an object. 5. Know proper technique to use microscope.
26
Microscope parts Use this diagram to label your microscope picture
27
Microscope Functions Eyepiece:The part you look through. Where you place your eye. Arm:Attaches eyepiece to the base. Body tube:Supports the eyepiece Coarse adjustment knob: Fine adjustment knob: This moves the stage up and down to get object into initial focus. NEVER use under high power. Used to make small adjustments to the focus.
28
Microscope Functions Nosepiece:Rotating piece that changes objectives (low & high) Objectives: Stage: Stage clips: Diaphragm: Light source: Lens that magnify the object The place where the specimen is placed. Holds the specimen slide in place. Allows different amounts of light through the slide. Reflects light onto the stage to observe specimen Supports the entire microscopeBase:
29
Determining total magnification Multiply the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnification of the objective. Eyepiece = 10xObjective = 4x Total magnification = 10 x 4 = 40x Eyepiece = 10xObjective = 40x Total magnification = 10 x 40 = 400x
30
Object Orientation As you look through the eyepiece the image you see is upside down and backwards from the specimen on the slide. e slide cover slip If you move the slide to the left the object moves to the right in the eyepiece. If you move the slide to the right the object moves to the left in the eyepiece.
31
Field of View Each mark = 1 mm or 1000 μm Determine the field of view by counting marks under low power. 100x Field of view = 3mm or 3000 μm Determining object size Using the determined field of view: 1. Count the number of cells in a row. 2. Divide the number of cells into the field of view in μm. 1.6 cells 2.3000 μm / 6 cells = 500 μm (size of one cell)
