Study Notes
Cell Structure
- Plant cells have a cell wall, while animal cells do not.
- The cell wall is composed of cellulose.
- Plant cells and fungal cells have cell walls. Bacterial cells also have cell walls.
Cell Types and Features
- Some cell types have a cell wall; plant, fungal, and bacterial.
- Some cell types contain plasmids; bacterial cells contain plasmids.
- Organelles found in all cells include ribosomes and mitochondria
Ribosome Function
- Ribosomes are found in all cells.
- Ribosomes manufacture proteins.
Mitochondria Function
- Mitochondria are found in all cells
- Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, converting energy from nutrients into a usable form for cellular processes.
Plant Cell Structure Identification
- The cellulose component is part of a plant cell's structure
- In the diagrams shown in the provided material, diagrams P and R are plant cells.
Cell Size Calculation
- The provided question asks for the calculation of the size of a cell using the field of view of a light microscope
- The field of view for a microscope was 2mm in diameter
- A line of 20 cells was counted across the field of view
- The question also provides the data that 1mm = 1000 micrometers
