Study Notes
Cell Theory
- All living organisms are made of one or more cells.
- The cell is the fundamental unit of life.
- All cells originate from pre-existing cells.
Microscope Parts
- Eyepiece (Ocular Lens): Magnifies the image.
- Objective Lenses: Provide varying magnifications (e.g., low, medium, high).
- Stage: Supports the slide.
- Stage Clips: Secure the slide in place.
- Light Source: Illuminates the specimen.
- Condenser: Focuses light onto the specimen.
- Coarse Adjustment Knob: Moves the stage for rough focusing.
- Fine Adjustment Knob: Fine-tunes the focus.
Microscope Magnification
- The total magnification is calculated by multiplying the eyepiece magnification by the objective magnification.
Monocular vs. Stereo Microscopes
-
Monocular Microscope:
- It has a single eyepiece.
- It provides higher magnification.
- It's used for viewing thin specimens.
-
Stereo Microscope:
- It has two eyepieces.
- It provides lower magnification.
- It offers a 3D view.
- It's used for larger or opaque specimens.
Light vs. Electron Microscopes
-
Light Microscope:
- Uses light to magnify specimens.
- Can be used to observe live cells.
- Offers lower magnification (up to 1000x).
-
Electron Microscope:
- Uses electrons to magnify specimens.
- Provides much higher magnification (up to 2 million x).
- Can only be used to observe dead specimens.
Unicellular vs. Multicellular Organisms
- Unicellular Organisms: Consists of a single cell (e.g., bacteria, amoeba).
- Multicellular Organisms: Comprised of multiple cells (e.g., humans, plants).
Generalized Plant and Animal Cells
- Nucleus: Controls cellular activities.
- Cytoplasm: Site of metabolic reactions.
- Cell Membrane: Regulates the entry and exit of substances.
- Cell Wall (plant): Provides structural support.
- Chloroplasts (plant): Site of photosynthesis.
- Mitochondria: Site of cellular respiration.
- Vacuoles: Store nutrients and waste.
Venn Diagram of Plant and Animal Cells
- Similarities: Both have cell membranes, cytoplasm, and organelles (like mitochondria).
- Differences: Plant cells have cell walls and chloroplasts; animal cells do not.
Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis
- Cellular Respiration: Converts glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.
- Photosynthesis: Converts sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen.
Word Equations
-
Cellular Respiration:
- Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP)
-
Photosynthesis:
- Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light → Glucose + Oxygen
Mitochondria and Cellular Respiration
- Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell.
- They are responsible for producing energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.
Energy Requirements and Respiration Rate
- Increased energy demands (e.g., muscle cells during exercise) result in an increased rate of cellular respiration.
Specialized Cells
- Red Blood Cells: Transport oxygen.
- Nerve Cells: Transmit signals.
- Muscle Cells: Enable movement.
Stem Cells in Medicine
- Stem cells possess the potential to develop into various cell types.
- They offer promising possibilities for regenerative medicine and disease treatments.
Skin Diagram
- Epidermis: Outer layer of the skin.
- Dermis: Middle layer containing blood vessels and nerves.
- Hypodermis: Innermost layer connecting the skin to underlying tissues.
