Key Idea #11

All living organisms are composed of
cells – from one cell to many cells.
Characteristics of Living Things
Grow
 Move
 Reproduce
 Get energy
 Use energy
 Get rid of waste
 Adapt to changes

Cells are Living Organisms
Cells
 grow and die.
 use energy, nutrients, air, and water.
 produce wastes.
 reproduce.
 react to what's around them.
All living organisms are made
of one or many cells.
Cells
 are the simplest unit of life.
 are the building blocks of life.
 are produced from other cells.
FYI: Types of Cells
FYI: Prokaryotic Cell

does not have a nucleus
 FYI: Eukaryotic
Cell has a nucleus
(human cheek cells)
(amoeba)
(onion skin cells)
FYI: According to scientific evidence:
Organisms
include all living things
 can be unicellular (one-celled)

– example: protozoa (protists), bacteria (monera)

can be multicellular (many-celled)
– example: plants, fungi, animals

e-Lab


Turn nose piece to scanner lens
Place the ruler on the stand and look through the
eyepiece.
– Record how many millimeters you can see _______
– What is the total power of magnification?
– (power of eye piece X power of scanner lens) ______

Turn the nose piece to low power objective lens
– Record how many millimeters you can see _______
– What is the total power of magnification?
– (power of eye piece X power of scanner lens) ______
Lab Directions:

Finish e-lab.
– Leave the “e” slide on the microscope until you have
checked your answers.



After I have checked your answers to 1-11, clean
your slide and cover slip.
Next, read the directions for preparing the onion cell
slide on the handout on the clipboard.
Bring me a slide and a cover slip to get your onion
cells sample.

Similarities and differences between animal and plant cells
Similarities:
 both cells have a cell membrane
 both are made up of organelles (ribosomes, golgi bodies etc….)
 both cells have a nucleus
 both combine to make tissues
 both have cytoplasm
 many are microscopic
Differences:
 plant cells have a cell wall
 plant cells have chloroplasts where they make their own food
 plant cells have one large vacuole
 animal cells have small vacuoles
 plant cells have a rectangular shape
 animal cells have an irregular shape
 most plant cells are green

Think of a City







How does it operate?
Who protects the city?
Who runs the city?
How does the city manage its trash?
How does the city get food?
How does the city get its power?
How do you know when you are in the city
limits?
A plant cell can be compared to a city.
Each part of the cell has its own
function.
 The parts of the cell can be compared
to the parts of a city based on their
similar function.
