[pic] Cells and Their Organelles The cell is the basic unit of life. The following is a glossary of animal cell terms. All cells are surrounded by a cell membrane. The cell membrane is semipermeable‚ allowing some substances to pass into the cell and blocking others. It is composed of a double layer of phospholipids and embedded proteins. Color and label the cell membrane tan. Plant cells have an additional layer surrounding them called the cell wall. The cell wall is made of nonliving

Cell Structure I. Cell History A. Anton Leewenhock (1600s) - first person to observe cells - in pond water‚ using a homemade microscope B. Robert Hooke (1665) - observed many kinds of animal tissue under a microscope - concludes that all animals are made up of cells C. Schwann (1868) - observed many kinds of animal tissue - concludes that all animals are made up of cells D. Schleiden (1869) - observed many kinds of plant tissue - concludes that all plants are made up of cells E. Cell

Cell Theory In biology‚ cell theory is a scientific theory that describes the properties of cells‚ the basic unit of structure in every living thing. The initial development of the theory‚ during the mid-17th century‚ was made possible by advances in microscopy; the study of cells is called cell biology. Cell theory states that new cells are formed from pre-existing cells‚ and that the cell is a fundamental unit of structure‚ function and organization in all living organisms. It is one of the

Tuesday‚ October 9th‚ 2012 Comparing Plant and Animal Cells Abstract The purpose of our lab was to have a better understanding of what are the differences between animal cells and plant cells. Although the cell is the basic unit in both living beings they are not completely alike. For that I have examined and compared human cheek cells to Elodea leaf cells. First‚ I’ve scraped the inside of my cheek with the end of a swab stick to collect the cells then I’ve prepared them on a clean glass slide. When

Plant Cell>>Factory A:Nucleus>Main Office The main office of a factory regulates all activities‚ and controls everything that happens inside the factory‚ as does a nucleus in a Plant cell. B:Cell Membrane>Guard The guard of a factory protects the factory from harm‚ and checks trucks‚ that are coming in‚ for anything that could harm the factory‚ as does the cell membrane of a Plant cell. C:Nucleolus>Boss The boss of a factory controls the office and has a high authority in the factory

Scanning electron microscope The two basic types of cells are ______ and ______. Prokaryotic . . . eukaryotic When using a light microscope to view a cell you obtained from scraping under your fingernails‚ you notice that the cell lacks a nucleus; therefore‚ you conclude that the cell must be a type of ______ cell. Prokaryotic One

Experiment title: Preparation of Biological Materials for Microscopic Examination Objectives: 1. To learn how to use a microscope. 2. To study the cell structure of starch grains‚ onion cells and cheek cells. 3. To differentiate the difference between starch grains‚ onion cells and cheek cells. Introduction: Microscope is an optical instrument use to magnify micro objects that hardly or impossible to be observed by naked eyes‚ so that the objects can be studied. Compound light microscope

Cells‚ in a lot of ways‚ are like factories. All the parts of a cell work together to accomplish common goals‚ just like parts of a factory. Each part also has a specific function‚ to make getting the job done a lot easier. The floor of a factory is a lot like the cytoplasm in a cell. It kind of keeps everything where it needs to be‚ and helps direct organelles around the cell‚ much like the pathways on the floor around the machines. The cell membrane in a cell is very similar to the outside

Cell Organelles Nucleus Its function is to control the cell’s activities and retain the chromosomes. The nucleus is bound by a double membrane‚ the nuclear envelope. The nuclear envelope has pores in it to allow the transport of mRNA. The cytoplasm like material is called nucleoplasm which contains chromatin (coils of DNA and histone proteins)‚ it is chromatin that condenses to form chromosomes during cell division. Within the nucleus is a small spherical body called the nucleolus which
