Copyright Teacher Resource Cabin 2020 Name: _________________________________ Date: _______________________________ what is a cell Early scientists were able to determine the basic requirements that plants and animals needed to survive. Animals need food, water, and oxygen and plants need water and sunlight. However, for a long time, it was unclear how living things were able to get energy from these sources. It was not until the invention of the microscope when scientists were first able to see cells. In 1665, Robert Hooke discovered the first cell using a microscope. Cells are a microscopic structural unit of an organism. Scientists learned that cells have different parts that must work together in order to carry out various cellular activities. Analyzing cells under a microscope has led to many scientific discoveries and there has been significant scientific advancement since the first microscope was invented in 1609. Scientists have summarized their cell discoveries using a theory called cell theory. Biology is the field of science that studies life and living organisms. Copyright Teacher Resource Cabin 2020 Name: _________________________________ Date: _______________________________ cells, tissues, organs, and systems The human body is made up of 11 organ systems including the circulatory system, digestive system, muscular system, and the nervous system. Each system is composed of a variety of organs, tissues, and cells. Scientists estimate that there are around 30 trillion cells in our body. Millions of these cells are created and destroyed every day. Organisms like humans can be organized into four components. The smallest component is individual cells and the largest component is organ systems. Cells are the smallest functional and structural unit of all living organisms. A group of cells that join together to serve a similar function are called tissues. An organ is a group of tissues that perform a function. Lastly, a collection of organs is called an organ system.

Name: _________________________________ Date: _______________________________ of questions Copyright Teacher Resource Cabin 2020 Name: _________________________________ Date: _______________________________ Microscopes The compound light microscope is commonly used in science. It is a microscope that uses more than one lens and has a light source. The compound light microscope relies on many different components to provide a detailed view of a specimen. 1. Stage: The stage is the location where the slide is placed for observing. 2. Stage clips: The clips are used to attach the slide to the stage. 3. Ocular Lens: The ocular lens (eyepiece) is a lens that magnifies the specimen. It typically magnifies by 10 times. 4. Coarse adjustment knob: This is an adjustment knob that moves the stage up and down. This knob is used before the fine adjustment knob. 5. Fine adjustment Knob: The fine adjustment knob sharpens the view of the specimen. This is the only adjustment knob needed while using the high power lenses. 6. Revolving Nosepiece: The revolving nosepiece is where the objective lenses connect to the microscope. It allows the viewer to rotate between the different lenses. 7. Objective Lens: These are used to magnify the specimen in low power (4x), medium power (10x) and high power (40x). 8. Base: The base provides the platform for the microscope to lay on. 9. Arm: The arm connects the tube to the base of the microscope. 10. Lamp: The lamp is the light source that passes through the specimen. 11. Diaphragm: The diaphragm allows light to pass through the specimen on the stage. It has a rotating disk to adjust the light. 12. Tube: The tube separates the eyepiece from the objective lense.

They are everywhere, but do you think you know what a cell looks like? Recall the differences between organisms that are part of the plant kingdom and the animal kingdom. In the boxes below, draw a diagram of what you think a plant cell and an animal cell look like. Plant Cell Copyright Teacher Resource Cabin 2020 Animal Cell Name: _________________________________ Date: _______________________________ plant vs. animal cells Plant and animal cells have many similar components. However, there are some differences. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Plant cells tend to be larger than animal cells. Plant cells have additional structures that are not found in animal cells. Plant cells have chloroplasts and a cell wall which are not found in animal cells. The cell wall and cell membrane found in plant cells gives the cell a more rectangular shape. Plants do not eat food like animals do. Plants need a chloroplast to photosynthesize their own food using the energy from the sun. Animal cells cannot synthesize their own nutrients. Unlike plant cells which have a single large vacuole, animal cells have several smaller vacuoles. Animal cells contain lysosomes and most plant cells do not. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes and they help break down excess or worn out cell components. Copyright Teacher Resource Cabin 2020 Name: _________________________________ Date: _______________________________ cell anatomy The components in a cell are referred to as organelles. 1. Nucleus: The nucleus is the control centre of the cell. The nucleus also stores DNA and genetic information required for cell division and growth. 2. Nucleolus: The nucleolus is contained within the nucleus and is responsible for making ribosomes. 3. Ribosomes: Ribosomes are the smallest membrane in the cell and create protein. They are often referred to as protein factories. 4. Golgi Apparatus: The golgi apparatus sorts important proteins and fats in the cell before they are delivered to their next destination. 5. Endoplasmic Reticulum: The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of bubbles and tubes that are either rough or smooth. It helps to modify and transport proteins. 6. Cell Membrane: The cell membrane is a barrier around the cell. It is semi-permeable, meaning that it allows some things to enter the cell while other things are excluded. The role of the cell membrane is to control the entry and exit of various substances in the cell. 7. Cell Wall: The cell wall is a rigid layer with the primary purpose of protecting and providing support for the cell. 8. Chloroplasts: Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which is required for photosynthesis. 9. Vacuole: A vacuole is a large membrane in the cell that is filled with fluid. It helps maintain the shape of the cell. 10. Mitochondria: The mitochondria produce energy necessary for the cell’s survival and functioning. The energy is converted from glucose into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is usable energy. 11. Cytoplasm: Cytoplasm provides support for the internal structures of the cell. It contains the cells organelles.

Sort the organelles using the Venn diagram below. Animal Cells Both Plant Cells Copyright Teacher Resource Cabin 2020 Name: _________________________________ Date: _______________________________ flow of materials in a cell Objects can be permeable, impermeable, or selectively permeable. A permeable object allows water and air to easily pass through. An example of a permeable object is cotton. A thin piece of tissue is also permeable. An impermeable object does not allow air or water to pass through. An example of an impermeable object is a plastic bag because it traps air and water. A material that is selectively permeable only allows some substances to pass through. A cell membrane is selectively permeable because it only allows certain molecules to cross the membrane to carry out their required functions. Cells need to allow water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide in and out of the cell. The cell membrane blocks large molecules that can harm the cell and prevents them from entry. Cytosis is a transport mechanism for the movement of molecules in and out of cells. There are three main types of cytosis: 1. Endocytosis: Transporting into the cell 2. Exocytosis: Transporting out of the cell 3. Transcytosis: Transporting through the cell Place the following things under the most appropriate description of their permeability on the scale below: plastic bag, tissue, cotton, cell membrane, soil, concrete, rubber boots. permeable Copyright Teacher Resource Cabin 2020 selectively permeable impermeable Name: _________________________________ Date: _______________________________ Diffusion is Diffusion is the movement of particles from a plentiful area (high concentration) to an area where there are few of them (low concentration). Diffusion is used to transport oxygen into a cell. When a cell is lacking oxygen, the oxygen from outside the cell will diffuse through the membrane. As this oxygen is used, more oxygen will diffuse into the cell to replenish the supply. There are many other examples of diffusion. Tea is made by diffusing the tea leaves into boiling water. Osmosis is Osmosis is a form of diffusion that involves water. The water content in a cell must remain relatively the same. Osmosis allows cells to maintain this water threshold and is extremely important for the life of the cell. If the water content outside the cell is greater than inside the cell, water will move into the cell. If the opposite is true, water will flow out of the cell. Copyright Teacher Resource Cabin 2020 Name: _________________________________ Date: _______________________________ flow of materials questions Copyright Teacher Resource Cabin 2020 Name: _________________________________ Date: _______________________________ unicellular organism multicellular organism Organisms can be either unicellular or multicellular. A unicellular organism only relies on one cell to carry out all of the necessary functions of an organism. Examples of a unicellular organisms include yeast, amoebas, fungi, and algae. A paramecium is a unicellular organism that is located in pond water. It is able to survive by taking food from the water and processing it through vacuoles. This organism is able to survive solely through this one type of cell. In contrast, multicellular organisms are much more complex. Humans are an example of a multicellular organism. Humans have a variety of different cell types such as blood cells, nerve cells, skin cells, and muscle cells. These cells are all designed so they are well suited for their unique purpose. Muscle cells are fibres that are built to allow for muscular contraction. This allows the human body to move and perform a variety of physical exercises. Nerve cells have dendrites and axons which allow them to connect and send signals to other nerve cells. This is necessary for muscle control and allows signals to be sent across the body. unicellular Copyright Teacher Resource Cabin 2020 multicellular Name: _________________________________ Date: _______________________________ bacteria research assignment Bacteria Bacteria Benefits Copyright Teacher Resource Cabin 2020 Bacteria Risks Name: _________________________________ Date: _______________________________ importance of cells Cells are very important because they are the basic building blocks of all living things. Cells are vital to the survival of all species, whether it is a tiny amoeba or a complex human, like you! Studying cells helps us understand how organisms function and how our organs work together to carry out our basic bodily functions. It is important to understand cells to prevent our bodies from infections and diseases. Scientists use their knowledge about cells to treat illnesses and diagnose diseases. Scientific research has led to discoveries about different activities that harm and benefit cells. Scientists have learned about different activities that can cause harm to our cells. Ultraviolet light and other radiations can damage our DNA. Harmful radiation can come from many sources including x-rays, ultraviolet light from the sun, and microwaves. Scientists have discovered that exposure to types of radiation can lead to cancers. Normal cells in the human body grow and divide and know when to stop growing. Cancer happens when abnormal harmful cells grow and divide and do not get destroyed. Research has also led to discoveries about things that can be done to keep our cells healthy. Our cells require nutrients to operate properly. Cells need to have proper vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, fiber and amino acids. For this reason, a well-balanced, nutrient-rich diet is very important to cell health. Adequate hydration also contributes to healthy cells. What is another important reason for studying cells?

Copyright Teacher Resource Cabin 2020 Name: _________________________________ Date: _______________________________ cell anatomy The components in a cell are referred to as organelles. 1. Nucleus: The nucleus is the control centre of the cell. The nucleus also stores DNA and genetic information required for cell division and growth. 2. Nucleolus: The nucleolus is contained within the nucleus and is responsible for making ribosomes. 3. Ribosomes: Ribosomes are the smallest membrane in the cell and create protein. They are often referred to as protein factories. 4. Golgi Apparatus: The golgi apparatus sorts important proteins and fats in the cell before they are delivered to their next destination. 5. Endoplasmic Reticulum: The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of bubbles and tubes that are either rough or smooth. It helps to modify and transport proteins. 6. Cell Membrane: The cell membrane is a barrier around the cell. It is semi-permeable, meaning that it allows some things to enter the cell while other things are excluded. The role of the cell membrane is to control the entry and exit of various substances in the cell. 7. Cell Wall: The cell wall is a rigid layer with the primary purpose of protecting and providing support for the cell. 8. Chloroplasts: Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which is required for photosynthesis. 9. Vacuole: A vacuole is a large membrane in the cell that is filled with fluid. It helps maintain the shape of the cell. 10. Mitochondria: The mitochondria produce energy necessary for the cell’s survival and functioning. The energy is converted from glucose into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is usable energy. 11. Cytoplasm: Cytoplasm provides support for the internal structures of the cell. It contains the cells organelles.

A permeable object allows water and air to easily pass through. An example of a permeable object is cotton. A thin piece of tissue is also permeable. An impermeable object does not allow air or water to pass through. An example of an impermeable object is a plastic bag because it traps air and water. A material that is selectively permeable only allows some substances to pass through. A cell membrane is selectively permeable because it only allows certain molecules to cross the membrane to carry out their required functions. Cells need to allow water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide in and out of the cell. The cell membrane blocks large molecules that can harm the cell and prevents them from entry. Cytosis is a transport mechanism for the movement of molecules in and out of cells. There are three main types of cytosis: 1. Endocytosis: Transporting into the cell 2. Exocytosis: Transporting out of the cell 3. Transcytosis: Transporting through the cell Place the following things under the most appropriate description of their permeability on the scale below: plastic bag, tissue, cotton, cell membrane, soil, concrete, rubber boots. permeable ● ● ● Tissue Cotton Soil Copyright Teacher Resource Cabin 2020 selectively permeable ● Cell Membrane impermeable ● ● ● Plastic bag Concrete Rubber Boots Name: _________________________________ Date: _______________________________ Diffusion is Diffusion is the movement of particles from a plentiful area (high concentration) to an area where there are few of them (low concentration). Diffusion is used to transport oxygen into a cell. When a cell is lacking oxygen, the oxygen from outside the cell will diffuse through the membrane. As this oxygen is used, more oxygen will diffuse into the cell to replenish the supply. There are many other examples of diffusion. Tea is made by diffusing the tea leaves into boiling water. Osmosis is Osmosis is a form of diffusion that involves water. The water content in a cell must remain relatively the same. Osmosis allows cells to maintain this water threshold and is extremely important for the life of the cell. If the water content outside the cell is greater than inside the cell, water will move into the cell. If the opposite is true, water will flow out of the cell.

A unicellular organism only relies on one cell to carry out all of the necessary functions of an organism. Examples of a unicellular organisms include yeast, amoebas, fungi, and algae. A paramecium is a unicellular organism that is located in pond water. It is able to survive by taking food from the water and processing it through vacuoles. This organism is able to survive solely through this one type of cell. In contrast, multicellular organisms are much more complex. Humans are an example of a multicellular organism. Humans have a variety of different cell types such as blood cells, nerve cells, skin cells, and muscle cells. These cells are all designed so they are well suited for their unique purpose. Muscle cells are fibres that are built to allow for muscular contraction. This allows the human body to move and perform a variety of physical exercises. Nerve cells have dendrites and axons which allow them to connect and send signals to other nerve cells. This is necessary for muscle control and allows signals to be sent across the body. unicellular Copyright Teacher Resource Cabin 2020 multicellular Name: _________________________________ Date: _______________________________ bacteria research assignment Bacteria Bacteria Benefits Copyright Teacher Resource Cabin 2020 Bacteria Risks Name: _________________________________ Date: _______________________________ importance of cells Cells are very important because they are the basic building blocks of all living things. Cells are vital to the survival of all species, whether it is a tiny amoeba or a complex human, like you! Studying cells helps us understand how organisms function and how our organs work together to carry out our basic bodily functions. It is important to understand cells to prevent our bodies from infections and diseases. Scientists use their knowledge about cells to treat illnesses and diagnose diseases. Scientific research has led to discoveries about different activities that harm and benefit cells. Scientists have learned about different activities that can cause harm to our cells. Ultraviolet light and other radiations can damage our DNA. Harmful radiation can come from many sources including x-rays, ultraviolet light from the sun, and microwaves. Scientists have discovered that exposure to types of radiation can lead to cancers. Normal cells in the human body grow and divide and know when to stop growing. Cancer happens when abnormal harmful cells grow and divide and do not get destroyed. Research has also led to discoveries about things that can be done to keep our cells healthy. Our cells require nutrients to operate properly. Cells need to have proper vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, fiber and amino acids. For this reason, a well-balanced, nutrient-rich diet is very important to cell health. Adequate hydration also contributes to healthy cells. What is another important reason for studying cells?
