What are cells?

What are the three domains?
Scientist found a new organism that
moves but has a cell wall, what kingdom
does this organism belong to?
4. What kingdom would an organism be in
that is a heterotroph, and has a cell wall?
5. What is the function of the nucleus?

Cell
Discovery and
Structure

Essential Question 1

What are cells?

Cell Discovery
1. Organisms Functions?
The processes that enable
it to stay alive and
reproduce
2. Skin Cells?
More than 100,000 cells

Cell Discovery
3. Cell Functions?
Obtaining oxygen
Getting rid of waste
Obtaining food
Growing

Read pg. 52-55 in your text book

Cell Discovery
4. Microscope?
An instrument that
makes small objects
look larger

Cell Discovery
5. Simple vs. compound
microscopes
Simple only have
one lens
Compound have
Two lenses

Cell Discovery
6. Robert Hooke
Invented a microscope
Was looking at cork
Called the small particles
Cells

Cell Discovery
7. Anton van Leeuwenhoek
Named them animalcules
8. Matthias Schleiden
Concluded that all plants are
made of cells

Cell Discovery
9. Theodor Schwann?
Animals are made of cells
Living things are made of
cells
10. Rudolf Virchow
Cells come from cells

POD # 2 Microscope
1. Who invented the first microscope?
2. Why did he choose the word cell for its
name?
3. What is the difference between simple
and compound microscopes?
4. What are the four functions of a cell?
5. What is the definition of a cell?

Essential Question 2

What is the Cell

Theory?

Cell Discovery
11. Cell Theory:
a. All living things are
composed of cells
b. Cells are the basic
units of structure and
function in living things

Cell Discovery
11. Cell Theory:
c. All cells are produced
from other cells
12. Useful microscope?
Magnification
resolution

Cell Discovery
18. Organelles?
Tiny cell structures
that carry out specific
functions in the cell
You have organs, your
cells have organelles

Cell Discovery
13. How do lenses work?
By bending the light that
passes through them
14. Magnification?
The ability to make things
look larger than they are

Cell Discovery
15. Magnification?
10 x 50 = 500
16. Resolution?
The ability to clearly
distinguish the individual
parts of an object

Cell Discovery
17. Electron
Microscopes?
Use a beam of
electrons instead
of light to produce
the image

POD # 3 Review
1. What is the difference between a
compound and electron microscope?
2. What contribution to Science did Robert
Hooke make?
3. What is the Cell Theory?
4. What organelles do plant cells have that
animal cells do not have?

Essential Question 3 & 4

How does the structure of a cell
organelle relate to its function?
How are cells like cities or
factories?

Cell Discovery
19. Cell membrane?
Acts as a filter
Allows food and 02 in
Allows waste out
Keeps harmful things
out

Cell Discovery
20. Nuclear envelope?
Protects the nucleus,
acting as a filter
21. Chromatin?
Contain genetic material,
or instruction for the cell

Cell Discovery
22. Nucleolus?
Where ribosomes are made
23. Cellulose?
Provides protection and
strength for support

Cell Discovery
24. Tissue?
A group of similar
cells working
together to perform a
specific function

Cell Discovery
25. Organ?
A collection of
different kinds of
tissues working
together

Essential Question 5

How are cells organized

in multi- cellular
organisms?

Cell Discovery
26. How are they
related?
Cells > tissues > organs
> Organ systems >
organisms

Cell Discovery
27. Specialized cells?
Tissue is made of similar
cells
Organ made of different
tissues
Organs are specialized

Cell Discovery
Eukaryotes:
Cells that have a
nucleus
Prokaryotes:
Cells that dont have a
nucleus
