Cell Theory (3 things)

1. All living things come from cells
a. Heredity - DNA - is passed from cell to cell
2. Cells only come from other cells
a. All have basically same chemical composition
3. Cells are the smallest unit of life
a. Energy flow occurs within cells

1st used the word "cell"

Robert Hooke

Prokaryote

 First (before nucleus)
 Cells that do not have a nucleus
 No organelles
 Always single-cell
 Exist almost every where on earth
 Impossible to see them with the unaided eye (tiny)
 Most have a cell wall
 added oxygen to atmosphere

Eukaryote

 Second (made from groups of prokaryotes)
 Cells that do have a nucleus
 Has organelles
 Can be single-cell or multi-cellular
 Exist almost every where on earth
 Possible to see them with the unaided eye (bigger than prokaryotes)
 Only plants, algae and fungus have cell wall, others have cell membrane
 Are placed in either the Protista, Plant, Animal or the Fungi Kingdoms

Cell wall

• Outer layer of cell
• like the skin
• found only in plant, algae and fungi cells
• provides structure for the cell

Cell membrane

• outer layer of an animal cell
• lining around organelles and nucleus
• holds everything inside the cell or inside organelles

Cytoplasm

gooey insides of the cell

Cytoskeleton

• protein fingers inside cell that support the cell and help move things around

Centrioles

• helps organize process of cell division in animal cells

Unicellular

• One cell is the whole organism
• BACTERIA

Multicellular

• An organism has more than one cell
• HUMAN

Three primary lenses

Objective Lenses
• 4X (scanning lens)
• 10X (low power)
• 40X (high power)

One secondary lens

Ocular Lens
• 10X

Compound Light Microscope

These microscopes are light illuminated. The image seen with this type of microscope is two dimensional. This microscope is the most commonly used. You can view individual cells, even living ones. It has high magnification. However, it has a low resolution. (The one we use in class)

Scanning Electron Microscope

This microscope uses electron illumination. The image is seen in 3-D. It has high magnification and high resolution. The specimen is coated in gold and the electrons bounce off to give you and exterior view of the specimen. The pictures are in black and white.

Transmission Electron Microscope

This microscope is electron illuminated. This gives a 2-D view. Thin slices of specimen are obtained. The electron beams pass through this. It has high magnification and high resolution.

Cellular Transport (2 types)

1)Active - ATP is required for transport
2)Passive - no ATP required for transport

Active Transport (2 types)

1)Protein directed - proteins form passages through the membrane to allow specific molecules through
2)Vesicle directed
a) Endocytosis - bringing things into the cell
b) Exocytosis - "pooping" - getting rid of waste

Endocytosis (2 types)

Phagocytosis - eating
Pinocytosis - drinking

Concentration

Mass of solute in a given volume of liquid.
Mass/Volume or g/L (grams per liter)

Osmosis

The diffusion of water through the cell membrane

Diffusion

Passive transport where molecules of various types follow normal flow (high to low)

Hypotonic
• Solution has more solutes than the cell
• More water exits the cell
• Cell shrivels and possibly dies
Hypertonic
• Solution has fewer solutes than the cell
• More water enters the cell
• Cell expands and may burst

Isotonic

•A solution that has the same concentration of particles as the cell.
•The healthiest state of a cell
•Water molecules move in and out at the same rate
•Cell size remains constant
