Harvesting cork for commercial purposes Microscopy enables the discovery of cells Slices of cork. Drawing by Robert Hooke, who coined the term “cell” in the 1600s
Modern cell theory The modern cell theory states that All living organisms are composed of one or more cells 2. Chemical reactions of living organisms take place within cells 3. Cells contain the hereditary information of the organisms of which they are a part, and this information is passed from parent cell to daughter cell 4. Cells arise from other cells
Cytoplasmic streaming of chloroplasts Considering their function, why would movement of chloroplasts by cytoplasmic streaming be advantageous?
Amyloplasts store starch Amyloplasts in a bean root
Put cells in a bath of concentrated solution Observing the vacuole
Under high external solute concentrations --External water potential decreases to below that inside the cell, thus osmotic water efflux from the cell. This process is plasmolysis. Plasmolysis Normal physiological conditions --Low external solute concentration --High internal solute concentration, thus positive pressure inside. --Positive pressure in the plant cell pushes against the restricting cell wall, like a water balloon in a cage.

nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes chromosome replication during S phase of cell cycle chromosomes align along metaphase plate and are attached to cytoskeleton Homologous chromosomes chromosomes condense and nuclear envelope degrades chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite poles, notice both sets are identical Mitosis (nuclear division)simplified diagram
Cell division in plants occurs at meristems Onion root meristem located at tip of root

Robert Hooke’s drawing of his microscope (1660s) Light from an oil lamp Water-filled glass globe as condenser Specimen mounted on a pin Focus by changing the distance between the specimen and the lens
High resolution Low resolution High magnification Low magnification
Important points when using microscopes • Using lens paper, clean eyepieces and objectives before and after each lab • Focus. • Place the mounted specimen on the stage • Set objective • Looking from the side, not in the ocular, bring the objective very close to the coverslip • Looking through the eyepiece, move the objective away from specimen with the course focus knob until it is in focus • Use fine focus to get the best view Coverslip always (a flat specimen (2-D) is optimal for compound light microscopes)
