(in hereditary material called DNA)• During cell division (mitosis or meiosis), the

hereditary material coils tightly around proteins to form chromosomes.

2.1 Cell Structure –Energy-Processing Organelles

Chloroplastschloro- means “green”-plast means “formed”

Mitochondria (singular: mitochondrion)mitos- means “thread”chondrion- means “little granule or lump of salt”


Chloroplasts• Green organelles found in cytoplasm of plant cells• Capture light energy that is used to make a sugar

called glucose• Glucose molecules store the

captured light energy as chemical energy, which can be used to do work.


Mitochondria• Release energy used by the cell• This energy is stored in food (glucose) that the

mitochondria breaks down into carbon dioxide and water.

• What types of cells would have lots of mitochondria?

Tools for Active Reading

What are some other ways that definitions can be given?

Journal QuestionWe have looked for ways that definitions can be given for new words.

Now you try writing a paragraph that includes a definition!

1. Think of a slang word that an adult might not know (nothing offensive!).

2. Use one example from Table 2.1 as a pattern.3. Write a paragraph that introduces the meaning for

your word.

Pulling It Together - DramaAgent Mildew has just started working for the FBI.

It’s his first day on the job, and he has been given some cells that were collected from a crime scene. He needs your help to figure out if the cells come from a plant, animal, or bacteria.

Develop a skit that shows Agent Mildew learning about what he should look for under the microscope to know what kind of cells he has. All group members must participate.

2.2 Viewing CellsLearning Objectives:

1. Compare the differences between the compound light microscope and the electron microscope.

2. Summarize the discoveries that led to the development of the cell theory.

3. Relate the cell theory to modern biology.

2.2 Viewing CellsCompare the differences between the compound light microscope and the electron microscope.

compound light microscope

Two sets of lenses: eyepiece and objective

Eyepiece may have two tubes (object looks 3D) or one tube (not 3D)

Usually have two to four movable objective lenses

Lenses direct beams of light through a thin object and into your eye

Powerful lenses on some compound microscopes magnify objects up to 2,000x.

How do you calculate total magnification?

2.2 Viewing CellsCompare the differences between the compound light microscope and the electron microscope.

compound light microscope electron microscope

Two sets of lenses: eyepiece and objective Instead of lenses, use a magnetic field to direct beams of electrons

Eyepiece may have two tubes (object looks 3D) or one tube (not 3D).

Show things too small to be seen with other microscopes

Usually have two to four movable objective lenses

Several types: Scanning Electron M (SEM), Transmission Electron M. (TEM), ScanningTunneling M. (STM)

Lenses direct beams of light through a thin object and into your eye.

Images must be photographed or electronically produced.

Powerful lenses on some compound microscopes magnify objects up to 2,000x.

Some can magnify images up to one milliontimes (1,000,000x).

Electron Microscopes

SEM:• Realistic, 3D image• Only the surface of the specimen can be observed

TEM:• 2D image of a thinly-sliced specimen• Show details of cell parts

STM: • Show arrangement of atoms on the surface of a molecule• Hills and valleys of specimen’s surface are mapped.

2.3 Viruses

Learning Objectives:

1. Explain how a virus makes copies of itself.2. Identify the benefits of vaccines.3. Investigate some uses of viruses.

What are viruses?

• Some examples of viruses:– Cold sores– Measles– Chicken pox– Colds– Influenza (“flu”)– HIV/AIDS

What are viruses?

– A virus is a strand of hereditary material surrounded by a protein coating.

– Don’t have a ________________ or other organelles.

– Don’t have a cell ____________________.– Come in lots of shapes.– Cannot be seen with a ___________ microscope ,

so they weren’t discovered until the invention of the _______________ microscope.

How do viruses multiply?

• Crystallized forms of some viruses can be stored for many years. They can reproduce quickly if they enter an organism.

• Cannot reproduce on their own• Need help of a living cell: HOST CELL• Once virus is inside host cell, can be active or

become latent (inactive stage).


Active Viruses vs. Latent Viruses

• Active viruses enter host cell and cause cell to make new viruses. This destroys the host cell.


How do viruses multiply?Active Viruses vs. Latent VirusesLatent Viruses• Virus enter host cell; hereditary material becomes part

of the cell’s hereditary material.• Does not immediately make new viruses or destroy host

cell.• As host cell reproduces, viral DNA is copied.• A virus can be latent for many years before being

activated by certain conditions (inside or outside body).• Example: Cold sore
