Introduction to Autotrophs
and Osmotrophs
Organisms able to synthesize nutritive
substances required for growth
(auto=self, troph=feed/grow)
Organisms that take up nutritive substances
required for growth by osmosis
(osmo=take up from external,
troph=feed/grow)

Microscopy enables the discovery of cells

Robert Hooke, who coined the
term “cell” in the 1600s

Modern cell theory
The modern cell theory states that
1. All living organisms are composed of one or
more cells
2. Chemical reactions of living organisms take
place within cells
3. Cells contain the hereditary information of the organisms
of which they are a part, and this information is passed
from parent cell to daughter cell
4. Cells arise from other cells
Generalized diagram of a plant cell
Note: As you will observed, much variation from this
generalized diagram exists.
Cytoplasmic streaming of chloroplasts
QuickTime™ and a
Cinepak decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
Considering their function, why
would movement of chloroplasts
by cytoplasmic streaming be
advantageous?
Amyloplasts store starch
Today, we will use
staining techniques
(iodine stains
starch) to visualize
amyloplasts in
potato tubers

bath of

What do you
expect?
Osmosis
Plasmolysis
Normal physiological conditions
--Low external solute concentration
--High internal solute concentration,
thus positive pressure inside.
--Positive pressure in the plant cell
pushes against the restricting cell
wall, like a water balloon in a cage.
Under high external
solute concentrations
--External water potential decreases to
below that inside the cell, thus osmotic
water efflux from the cell. This process is
plasmolysis.

Mitosis and cytokinesis
Mitosis (nuclear division)

chromosome
replication
during S
phase of cell
cycle
chromosomes
align along
metaphase plate
Homologous and are attached
chromosomes to cytoskeleton
chromosomes

nuclear
envelope
forms around
each set of
chromosomes
chromosomes are
pulled apart to
opposite poles,
notice both sets
are identical
Cell division in plants occurs at
meristems

Total number of cell divisions?

Centromeres divide?
How many daughter cells are genetically identical to original cell?
or triploid or tetraploid…
or tetraploid or hexaploid…, but
not triploid, why?
