Study Notes
Cell Structure & Size of Specimens
- Cells are the basic units of life.
- Animal cells have a nucleus with a distinct membrane, but do not have cell walls made of cellulose. They do not contain chloroplasts, and store carbohydrates as glycogen.
- Plant cells have a nucleus with a distinct membrane and cell walls made of cellulose. Plant cells contain chloroplasts, and store carbohydrates as starch or sucrose.
- Cell structure diagrams are included in the document (e.g., animal cell, plant cell, bacterial cell)
- Different organelles have specific functions within the cell.
- The cytoplasm is a gel-like substance that supports the internal structures of the cell and is the site of many chemical reactions, including anaerobic respiration.
- The cell membrane controls what enters and leaves the cell.
- Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis; found in the cytoplasm
- Mitochondria are the site of aerobic respiration.
- There are different levels of organization in an organism.
Organisation of Cells
- Cells divide to help the body grow and repair itself.
- New cells come from existing cells by cell division.
- Specialized cells in animals perform specific functions.
- Cells undergo differentiation to develop specific structures and characteristics.
Magnification Formula
- Magnification = Image size ÷ Actual size
- A triangle method is provided for easy calculation
- Actual size = Image size ÷ Magnification
- Image size = Magnification × Actual size
- Units for magnification are not expressed in the formula.
Converting Between Units
- 1 centimetre (cm) = 10 millimetres (mm)
- 1 millimetre (mm) = 1000 micrometres (µm)
