What are cells?
Cells are the basic units of structure and function in all living things/organisms.
What do cells obtain?
Oxygen, food, and Energy
What do cells get rid of?
waste (carbon dioxide)
What provide your cells with energy?
food
Organism
something that is living
What happened in the 1500?
living organisms were classified into two groups plants and animals
What was invented in the late 1500 and early 1600?
the microscope
Robert Hooke
1665- viewed dead cork (from a tree) under the microscope and called what he saw “cells” because they looked like little rooms.
Anton von Leeuwenhoek
mid-1600s) – designed the first microscope and viewed pond water; he called the microorganisms “beasties” or “animalcules” (today bacteria and protists)
Matthis Schleden
(1830s) – concluded after looking at plants that “all plants are made of cells.”
Theodor Schwann
concluded after looking at all animal tissues that “all animals are made of cells.”
Rudolf Virchow
concluded that all cells come from other cells
What are the 3 parts of cell theory?
a. All organisms are made up of one or more cells.
b. The cell is the basic unit of structure and function in all living organisms.
c. All cells come from cells.
What are the types of microscopes?
Simple Microscope, Compound Light Microscope, and Electron Microscope
Simple Microscope
- Has one lens
- Example: magnifying lens, glasses
Compound Light Microscope
- Has more than one lens – lenses are located in the eyepiece and revolving nosepiece/objective lenses
- Uses light as a source
- Produces a two-dimensional image
- Magnification
Magnification
the change in apparent size of the object
How do you the total magnification?
The powers of the eyepiece times the power of the objective lens
What are the 3 lens?
High Power Objective lens, Low Power Objective lens, and scanner.
Electron Microscope
- Uses a beam of electrons in a vacuum (no air) as its source 2. Produces a three-dimensional image 3. Can magnify thousands/millions of times
what are the types of electron microscopes?
SEM- Scanning Electron Microscope TEM- Transmission Electron Microscope
What are the parts of the microscope?
Body Tube, Revolving nose piece, Low Power Objective lens, high power Objective lens, stage clips, diaphragm, eyepiece lens, coarse adjustment knob, fine adjustment knob, arm, stage, light source, base, and scanner.
Body tube
separates the eyepiece lens from the objective lens
lower power objective lens
magnifies about 10x
