Document Summary

Cell = smallest functional unit of life; cell theory states that all organisms are composed of cells & all existing cells arose from pre-existing cells. Characteristics/functions of cells: contents surrounded by plasma membrane, cytoplasm consists of semifluid matrix, organelles embedded in cytoplasm, contain genes in form of dna, highly structured, relationship between structure and function, carries out metabolism. Two types of cells: prokaryotic & eukaryotic. Cytoplasm surrounded by plasma membrane & cell wall. Complex internal structure w/ membranous & non-membranous organelles: membranous nucleus, er, golgi, mitochondria, lysosomes, peroxisomes, non-membranous ribosomes, microtubules, centrioles, flagella, cytoskeleton. Animals have cell membrane, plants have cell wall. Four functional groups manufacture, breakdown, energy processing, and support/movement/communication. Surrounded by double membrane (dna has to be highly guarded) Dna normally present in nucleus as strands of chromatin; during cell division, the chromatin coils up into chromosomes. Nucleolus = organelle within nucleus, responsible for rna synthesis.

â¢ PRINT and READ all of the information found in the Basic Microscopy lab manual.

â¢ Use the information to answer the following questions.

Questions

â¢ Fill in the remainder of the chart.

â¢ Do all organisms consist of more than one cell?

â¢ What is the structural and functional unit of living things? In other words, what is considered the basic building block of LIFE?

â¢ What three structures are found in the cells of ALL organisms, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic? You may have to look at the pictures of the cells in the Basic Microscopy lab manual content to find all three structures. Note: plasma membrane = cell membrane

â¢ List the major differences in prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells? Include the location of genetic material in a eukaryotic versus prokaryotic cell.

â¢ List the organelles found in a eukaryotic cell that are not found in a prokaryotic cell. You may have to look at the pictures of the cells in the Basic Microscopy lab manual content to find all of these.

â¢ A__________is an organelle that serves as the site of photosynthesis in a eukaryotic cell.

â¢ Some organisms have cells that contain a__________that gives the cell a more structured shape and strengthens the cell by osmotic pressure.

â¢ Describe dark field microscopy.

â¢ Describe phase contrast microscopy.

â¢ Why do scientists use dark field microscopy and phase contrast microscopy when studying prokaryotic cells?

â¢ How does phase contrast microscopy help scientists visualize difficult specimens?

â¢ Fill in the remainder of the chart. The organisms studied during this lab are: Amoeba, Spirogyra, cardiac muscle, and bacteria.

Nucleus	Contains the genetic material of a eukaryotic cell
Chloroplast		Spirogyra
Cell wall

One effective learning strategy when trying to learn largeamounts of factual information is to group items, or âchunkâ. Youshould include all important structures of the cell (this includescell membrane and membrane adaptations as well as organelles).Examples of general categories could be location, function,morphology, etc. Your categorization groups must tell the viewersomething about the structures. Once your structures are groupedaccording to the characteristics they share, you should include ashort phrase about what differentiates them from each other withinthe group. Citation of your source material must be present.

List of Organelles:

Nucleus, Nuclear envelope/membrane, Nucleolus, Ribosomes,Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, Mitochondria, Plasmamembrane, Cytoskeleton, Transport/secretory vesicles,Phagosomes/endosomes-including sorting & recycling endosomes,Lysosomes, Peroxisomes, Lipid droplets, Glycogen granules

I started this assignment and was going to go withfunction and morphology. Below is what I have so far, but I'mhaving a difficult time coming up with a short phrase for each anddistinguishing between the organelles that can change shape/morphand those that cannot. I am open to changing the categories that Ihave chosen to chunk. I've never used this technique before so it'sa new concept for me.

Function

Protein Synthesis â Nucleus, Nuclear envelope, Nuclear porecomplex, Ribosomes, Rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus,Plasma membrane

Energy Production â Mitochondria, Lipid droplets, Glycogengranules

Transportation â Transport vesicles, Phagosomes,Cytoskeleton

Metabolism â Lysosomes aid in digestion, Peroxisomes oxidizefatty acids

Morphology

Ability to change shape â Mitochondria, Cell membrane, Nuclearenvelope,

Inability to change shape â Nucleus, Nuclear envelope,
