Study Guide SUBTOPIC A2.2 CELL STRUCTURE Aims and objectives Outline cell theory and describe the structure and components of a typical cell. Summarise how to make and stain temporary mounts of cells and tissues. Describe how to use an eyepiece graticule and stage micrometre to measure sizes of a specimen. Perform calculations involving actual size, image size and magnification. Outline the applications of electron microscopy. Describe the application of techniques that are commonly used in microscopy. Outline the structures that are common to cells in all living organisms. Describe the structure of a typical prokaryotic cell and the function of prokaryotic cell structures and components. Describe the structure of a typical eukaryotic cell and the function of eukaryotic cell structures and components. Name the eight processes that all living things carry out. Identify how different unicellular organisms carry out each of the eight life processes. Outline how there may be differences in the cell structure of animal, plant and fungal cells. Give examples of eukaryotic cells with atypical cell structure.
