The BIG idea:
All living things are made up of cells
Key Concepts:
1.1: The cell is the basic unit of living things
1.2: Microscopes allow us to see inside the cell
1.3: Different cells perform various functions
*** TAKE NOTES!!!***
How organisms are classified into three domains
Specialization in multicellular organisms
How cells, tissues, and organs are organized
1) What advantages and disadvantages does a light
microscope have in comparison with an electron
microscope?
-A light microscope can view live specimens but can only
magnify 1000x
2) What is the difference between a eukaryotic cell and a
prokaryotic cell?
-Eukaryotic has DNA in nucleus. Prokaryotic has DNA
throughout the cytoplasm
3) What organelles can be said to act like an assembly
line within a cell?
-The Endoplasmic reticulum uses materials from
ribosomes to make proteins and cell membrane
parts. Vesicles take those materials to the Golgi
apparatus, which finishes processing them.

A cell with no nucleus?

A cell with a cell wall and a nucleus?
Plant Cell
A device for viewing microorganisms?

Roots vs Leaves
The color of the roots are white and brown,
the leaves are green.
Leaves contain chloroplasts, a chemical that
gives them their
green color, and can
produce sugar.



2-3 million bacteria living on each cm2 of
your skin!
Most organisms on Earth are single celled.
Unicellular organisms were recently found in
the least expected place – in very extreme
conditions.

Archaea
◦ Found in the deep ocean’s thermal vents –
extreme heat and no oxygen, salty waters of
Great Salt Lake, and in hot sulfur springs of
Yellowstone Park





First known as archaebacteria: ”ancient
bacteria”
Many of these organisms are found in
ancient Earth-like environments (similar to
hydrothermal vents)
Archaea are genetically different from
bacteria
Both unicellular organisms made of
prokaryotic cells
Cytoplasm contains ribosomes but no
organelles – simple!
Tough cell wall




Nucleus!
Almost all multicellular
organisms
Many unicellular
organisms: protist
(ameoba, paramecium,
euglena)
For most Eukaryotes,
no single cell can
survive on its own



Specific cells perform specific functions
Blood cells, muscle cells, nerve cells (neuron),
etc
Plant cells for photosynthesis, draining water
from soil, supporting plant’s weight



Cell City!
They way cells work together and interact
depend on the organism - organization
Simple sponge: certain cells take in food, other
digest it; regeneration

More advanced: cells
specialize AND group:
tissues
◦ Organized to do a specific job
◦ Hand: can see top layer of
tissue

Tissue working together to
perform a particular
function: organ
◦ Eye (to see)
◦ Leaf: provides energy and
materials: has tissue that uses
Sun’s energy to make sugar,
and tissue moving sugar to
other parts of the plant




All work together
Organs working together to
form: organ systems
Plants: roots, stems, leaves
Humans: 11 organ systems, of
40 organs and 200 types of
tissues.
◦ Nervous system: brain, spinal
cord, nerves, sensory organs (eyes
and ears)

Specialized cells make up
tissue
◦ Tissues act together to form an
organ
◦ Different organs serve a common
function (like digestion)
Highest level of organization

Please sketch both an animal cell and a plant
cell, including the organelles listed in on the
cells alive website. Be sure to label your
diagram, and include a scale for reference.
This should be a “biological drawing”, meaning:
◦ 1. Use unlined paper.
◦ 2. Always use a pencil (for this colored pencils are
okay).
◦ 3. Print all words.
◦ 4. All labels written horizontally.
◦ 5. Center the title at the top of the diagram and print
in all capital letters.

To write a number in scientific notation:
Put the decimal after the first digit and drop
the zeroes.
In the number 123,000,000,000 The
coefficient will be 1.23
To find the exponent count the number of
places from the decimal to the end of the
number.
In 123,000,000,000 there are 11 places.
Therefore we write 123,000,000,000 as:
1) An oxygen atom measure
14/100,000,000,000 of a meter across.
Write the width of the oxygen atom in
standard form as a decimal number
0.00000000014
2) Write the width of the oxygen atoms in
scientific notation
1.4 x 10-10m
3) A chloroplast measure 5 millionths of a meter
across. Write its width in standard form and in
scientific notation
4)A redwood tree stands 100 meter tall. There are
1000 millimeters in a meter. Express the height of
the redwood tree in millimeters. Write the number
in scientific notation.
5) A typical plant cell measures 1 millionth of a
meter in width. Express the width in standard form
and in scientific notation
