The Cell

2-1 Cells: The Units of Life

The Microscope: A Tool


Q: Why do scientists need to use
microscopes?
A: Cells are small

Before

Compound Microscope
Combines the
power of 2
lenses to enlarge
the image and
blend light
toward your eye

Eye piece lens

objective lens

10x

4x

= 40x

10x

10x

= 100x

40x

= 400x

Low power
Medium Power
High Power

Eyepiece or ocular lens


Lens closest to the
eye

Objective Lens
Lens closest to the
specimen or object

Nosepiece
Objectives fastened
to this revolving
structure

Stage
Where you place
your slide

Stage clips
Hold slide in place

Body Tube
Light travels through
here

Light Source
Provides light

Diaphragm
Regulates the light
reaching the
objective lens

Base
Supports the
microscope

Arm
Holds the body
tube, acts as a
handle

Coarse focusing knob


Used to focus under
low power only

Fine focusing knob


Used to focus under
high power only

A microscope reverses and inverts the


image of an object seen under it
Before
viewing
under the
microscope

While
viewing
under the
microscope

Things moving under a microscope are


actually moving in the opposite direction

Things moving under a microscope are


actually moving in the opposite direction

Stereoscopic light microscope


Give you 3D
view of an
object
Used to look at
thick things
light cant pass
through

Electron Microscopes
Can magnify
things more
than 300,000
times

Transmission electron microscope


Used to study parts inside a cell

Scanning Electron Microscope


Used to see the surfaces of whole objects

Cell Theory
1. All organisms are made up of one
or more cells
2. Cells are the basic units of
structure and function in all
organisms
3. All cells come from cells that
already exist

2-2 Cell Structure

Living cells are dynamic and have


several things in common
Membrane
Cytoplasm (gel-like material)
Nucleus (control center)

There are 2 basic types of cells


1. Prokaryotic no nucleus
2. Eukaryotic has a nucleus

Cell Membrane
Structure that forms the outer
boundary of the cell and allows
only certain materials to move in
and out of the cell

Features of the cell membrane


Flexible
Double layer of fats with some
proteins scattered throughout

Cytoplasm
Gel-like material inside the cell
membrane

Organelles
Structures within the cytoplasm of
eukaryotic cells

Nucleus
Structure that directs all the
activities of the cell
Contains the DNA

Chromatin
Made up of protein and DNA
(genetic blue print)

Endoplasmic Reticulum
Folded membrane that moves
materials around in the cell
Some have ribosomes on them,
some dont

Ribosomes
Make
proteins
Some found
on ER
Others in
cytoplasm

Golgi Bodies
The packaging and secreting
organelles of the cell

Mitochondria
Where food molecules are broken
down and energy is released

Lysosomes
Digests wastes
and worn out
cell parts

Vacuoles
Storage areas, store water, food, wastes
Small in animals and large in plants

Cell Wall
Rigid structure
outside the cell
membrane that
supports and
protects the
plant cell

Chloroplasts
Organelles where light energy is
changed into chemical energy in
the form of a sugar called glucose
(C6H12O6)

Chlorophyll
Chemical in chloroplasts that
traps light energy reflects green
light

Bacterial Cells
Prokaryotic
Dont have membrane bound
organelles

Features of bacterial cells

Cell wall and cytoplasm


Single chromosome
No nuclei
Ribosomes

2-3 Cell Organization

Nerve Cell
Send impulses
through your
body

Red Blood Cells


Can change
shape
Flexible
Move through
the duct work of
your blood
vessels

Plant Vessel Cell


Transports
water and
minerals
throughout the
cell

Tissues
Groups of similar cells that do
similar things
Ex.) smooth muscle tissue

Organ
A structure made up of different
types of tissues that work
together
Ex.) stomach

Organ System
A group of organs working
together to do a certain job
Ex.) digestive system
