MICROSCOPE CARE & SAFETY

Take only from appropriate cabinet Always carry with 2 hands (base & arm) ONLY use lens paper to clean Do NOT force knobs Keep away from table edge &

keep objects clear of cords Store covered & w/ stage down

aka “put it in park”

1. Place slide on Microscope2. Use Stage Clips 3. Click Nosepiece to the lowest

(shortest) objective4. Look into Eyepiece5. Turn Coarse Adjustment (big knob) to focus;

move slide if nessary6. Click to medium objective7. Use Coarse & Fine Adjustments (big & little

knobs) to focus

8. Click the nosepiece to the high power (longest) objective

9. Do NOT use the Coarse Focus Knob anymore

10. Use ONLY the Fine Focus Knob (little knob) to focus on high power

PARTIAL CONCLUSION: 3-4 SENTENCES

Summarize your hypothesis and say whether it was supported or rejected?

What observations supported or rejected your hypothesis? (give details)

What did you learn about prokaryotes vs eukaryotes? Explain.

BELLWORK 1. Sketch a prokaryotic cell & a eukaryotic cell.

2. What were the major differences you saw between the two cell types?

3. Finish your 3-4 sentence conclusion for yesterday’s lab- IN YOUR NOTEBOOK:

-Was your hypothesis supported or refuted?-What observations supported or refuted your hypothesis (explain)-What did you learn about prokaryotes & eukaryotes?

Cells are divided into 2 major categories based on how the DNA is stored:

Prokaryotes or Eukaryotes

Remember DNA? It’s

what codes for your

GENES and makes you who you

are!

PROKARYOTES (PRO= “BEFORE”; KARYON = “NUCLEUS”) NO nucleus to store DNA, it floats

coiled in the middle of the cell Very small and simple structure Example: Bacteria

Draw and label the DNA on

your diagramDNA

EUKARYOTES(EU = “TRUE” ; KARYON = “NUCLEUS”) DNA stored in nucleus

surrounded by a protective membrane

Larger size, complex structure Examples: plants and animals

Draw and label the DNA on

your diagram

WHAT ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT ORGANS IN YOUR BODY? WHAT IS THE

FUNCTION OF EACH ONE?

Talk to your partner & be

ready to share

ORGANELLES Organelles are structures that work like

miniature organs within the cell to perform specific functions (jobs). ONLY found in eukaryotes.

1. NUCLEUS Contains the genetic material (DNA/genes) Surrounded & protected by a nuclear

membrane Directs all the activities of the cell. Analogy = the “brain” or “jefe” of the cell.

LABEL THE NUCLEUS & NUCLEAR MEMBRANE ON YOUR EUKARYOTE

NUCLEUS

NUCLEARMEMBRANE

Do prokaryotes

have a nucleus?

NO!!!!

2. MITOCHONDRIA Convert sugars into ATP energy

(ATP is the chemical used to power the cell)

They have their own DNA! They probably came from a eukaryote engulfing a PROKARYOTE!

Analogy = “Powerhouse of the cell”

DRAW & LABEL A MITOCHONDRION IN YOUR EUKARYOTE

MITOCHONDRIA

OTHER CELL PARTS (NOT ORGANELLES)

3. CYTOPLASM A gel-like substance that fills the cell

(mostly made of water) Materials in the cell are suspended in

the cytoplasm Analogy = “the glue that holds

everything in place”

LABEL THE CYTOPLASM ON YOUR PROKARYOTE & EUKARYOTE

CytoplasmCytoplasm

4. CELL MEMBRANE Separates & protects the cell from

the outside environment It is SEMI-PERMEABLE (let’s some

things in, keeps other things out) Analogy = “It’s the bouncer of the

cell”

LABEL THE CELL MEMBRANE ON YOUR PROKARYOTE & EUKARYOTE

Cell MembraneCell

Membrane

5. CELL WALL A tough, rigid, outer cell layer (outside the

cell membrane) Provides extra strength; helps cells keep

their shape Found in plants & bacteria, NOT in animal

cells Analogy = “Spanx of the cell- keeps the

shape”

LABEL THE CELL WALL ON YOUR PROKARYOTE

Cell Wall (outer most layer)

If we’re not labeling a cell

wall on our eukaryote…does

that make it a plant or animal

cell?ANIMAL!!!!

WHAT OTHER CELL PARTS & ORGANELLES ARE THERE?

Use the textbook Chp. 3.1-3.3 to fill out your cell parts worksheet

CLOSURE- ON NOTETAKER Make a Venn Diagram for Prokaryotes vs

Eukaryotes and decide where in the Venn Diagram to write each of the following terms:

Prokaryotes

Eukaryotes

Nucleus Cell Wall Cell MembraneMitochondria Cytoplasm AnimalBacteria PlantsOrganelles

BELLWORK1. What is 1 major difference between eukaryotes and

prokaryotes?

2. Look at your notes from yesterday- what 2 ORGANELLES did you learn about? What was the analogy for each one?

3. Which organelle would you expect a cell to have only ONE? Which organelle would there be many of in the same cell?

4. Title the next page in your notebook “Eukaryotic Cells Lab: Plant vs Animal”

5. Copy the Question: “If plant and animal cells are both eukaryotic, how do they compare under the microscope?”

6. Write an If…then…as measured by…. Hypothesis. Be ready to share!

*****When finished, skim through the handout to learn about an upcoming assignment

CELL ANALOGY BOOK ASSIGNMENTDue Mon. October 15th. Turn in early for ex.

credit!

1. 3 pages folded in ½ stapled together

2. Must do a EUKARYOTE. -Pick either PLANT or ANIMAL cell. Circle on sheet!

3. Include at least 10 cell parts (look at the comparison chart in notetaker for possibilities)

HOW THE BOOK WORKS

4. Compare your cell to something that has many parts. This is your title page.

-Example: A cell is like a school

5. Use the jobs of the cell parts to figure out how to relate them to the analogy

-Example: The nucleus directs all the activities of the cell…..who directs all the activities of the school?

-The principal!

Draw a picture & explain the analogy for each cell part. This goes on each page.

A cell is like a schoolby Ms. D

The principal is like the NUCLEUS because he

directs the activities of the school, just like the nucleus directs the activities of a cell.

AT YOUR DESK… Decide what you will compare your cell

to (what’s the title of your book?)

Start writing down what you could compare the nucleus, mitochondria, cell membrane & cytoplasm to….

PLANT VS ANIMAL CELLS Remember, eukaryotic cells are very

complex, and this category includes both plant and animal cells.

They have many cell parts and organelles, but there are some differences between plant and animal cells.

CELL PART COMPARISON CHARTCharacteristic/Cell Part ANIMAL cell PLANT cell

Overall Shape of Cell Round (irregular shape) Rectangular (fixed shape)

Cell wall - +Plasma (Cell) Membrane + +Cytoplasm + +Mitochondria + +Nucleus + +Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum + +Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum + +Golgi Apparatus / Golgi Body + +Ribosomes + +Lysosomes + Usually -Microtubules / Microfilaments + +Centrioles + Usually -Flagella Sometimes Sometimes

Cilia + Rare

Chloroplast - +Vacuole + (small) + (VERY large, centrally located)

PLANT CELLS Plastids are special cell parts that are

found only in plants.

What differences did

you see looking at the

plant cells?

6. CHLOROPLASTS Use energy from the sun to make sugars

(food) for the cell through photosynthesis! Contain a green pigment called chlorophyll Analogy = the CHEF of the cell! (makes the

food)

7. VACUOLE A large central fluid-filled sac that regulates

water content & keeps cells “full” & rigid HUGE inside plants, can take up 90% of the

cell volume! Analogy = the WATER TOWER of the cell!

CLOSURE Write a 3 sentence conclusion for the lab

Was your hypothesis supported or rejected? What observations supported or rejected your

hypothesis? What did you learn about plant vs animal cells (use

vocab)?

Update your table of contents for the Prokaryote vs Eukaryote Lab AND the Plant vs Animal Cell Lab

When you are finished, begin labeling your plant vs animal cell diagram on the back of your note taker
