    Cell Parts and Functions

    • Cell membrane: Acts as a barrier, controlling what enters and leaves the cell.
    • Golgi Complex: Modifies and packages proteins for transport within the cell.
    • Membrane Receptor: Binds to signaling molecules (ligands) and triggers internal responses.
    • Mitochondria: Produces energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.
    • Nucleolus: Manufactures ribosomes, essential for protein synthesis.
    • Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): A network of membranes involved in protein folding and transport.
    • Chromatin: The complex of DNA and proteins inside the nucleus, containing genetic instructions.
      • Euchromatin: Loosely packed, allowing for gene expression.
      • Heterochromatin: Tightly packed, generally inactive for gene expression.
    • Chromosome: A tightly coiled structure composed of DNA and proteins, carrying genetic information.
      • Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 total).
    • Cell Cycle: The sequence of events from the formation of a cell to its division.
      • Interphase:
        • G1 phase: Growth and preparation for DNA replication.
        • S phase: DNA replication occurs.
        • G2 phase: Cell continues to grow, preparing for mitosis.
      • Mitosis: Cell division resulting in two genetically identical daughter cells.
      • Meiosis: Cell division producing four genetically unique daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes.
    • Mitosis Stages:
      • Prophase: Chromosomes condense, nuclear membrane breaks down, and spindle fibers form.
      • Metaphase: Chromosomes line up at the center (equator) of the cell.
      • Anaphase: Sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles of the cell.
      • Telophase: Chromosomes reach the poles, nuclear membrane reforms, and the cell cytoplasm divides (cytokinesis).
      • Cytokinesis: Final stage where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate daughter cells.

    Microscope Parts

    • Eyepiece tube or body tube: Connects the eyepiece to the objective lenses.
    • Nosepiece: Rotating structure that holds the objective lenses.
    • Objective lenses: Magnify the specimen, providing different levels of magnification.
    • Stage clips: Hold the specimen slide in place.
    • Stage: Platform where the specimen slide is placed.
    • Diaphragm: Controls the amount of light reaching the specimen.
    • Illuminator: Provides light source for viewing the specimen.
    • Eyepiece/Ocular lens: The lens you look through to view the magnified specimen.
    • Arm: Connects the base to the body tube.
    • Course focus: Large knob for initial focusing.
    • Fine focus: Smaller knob for precise focusing.
    • Base: The bottom of the microscope, providing support.

    Asexual vs. Sexual Reproduction

    • Asexual Reproduction:
      • Involves a single parent.
      • Produces genetically identical offspring.
      • Faster and produces more offspring than sexual reproduction.
    • Sexual Reproduction:
      • Requires two parents (male and female).
      • Produces genetically diverse offspring.
      • Takes longer than asexual reproduction and results in fewer offspring.
