Microscope • Instrument for observing small objects
Revolving nosepiece Eyepiece Body tube Objective Coarse adjustment Clip Fine adjustment Condenser Arm Stage Iris diaphragm Condenser control knob Mirror Base
Introduction • Cells are the basic units of organisms • Cells can only be observed under a microscope • Two basic types of cells: Animal cell Plant cell

Cell wall Plant Cell • Made of cellulose which forms very thin fibres • Strong and rigid • In plant cells only
Cell wall Plant Cell • Protects and supports the cell • Resists entry of excess water into the cell • Gives shape to the cell
Cell wall Plant Cell • A dead layer freely permeable
Cell membrane Plant Cell • Lies immediately against the cell wall • Made of protein and lipid • Selectively permeable
Cell membrane Plant Cell • Can control the movement of materials into and out of the cell
Cytoplasm Plant Cell • Jelly-like substance enclosed by cell membrane • Provide a medium for chemical reactions to take place
Cytoplasm Plant Cell • Contains organelles and granules • e.g. chloroplast • e.g. mitochondrion
Organelles • has specific functions • in cytoplasm
Chloroplast Plant Cell • Contains the green pigment chlorophyll • To trap light energy, to make food by photosynthesis
Chloroplast Plant Cell • Contains starch grains (products of photosynthesis)
Mitochondrion( mitochondria ) Plant Cell • For respiration
Mitochondrion( mitochondria ) Plant Cell • active cells ( e.g. sperms, liver cells) have more mitochondria
Non-living granules Plant Cell • Starch granules • Oil droplets • Crystals of insoluble wastes
Vacuole Plant Cell • large central vacuole • Contains cell sap • a solution of chemicals (sugars, mineral salts, wastes, pigments)
Nucleus Plant Cell • 1.Controls the normal activities of the cell 2. For heredity • Bounded by a nuclear membrane • Contains thread-like chromosomes
Nucleus Plant Cell • Each cell has fixed number of chromosomes • Chromosomes carry genes • genes control cell characteristics
Onion Epidermal Cells Guard Cells root hair Root Hair Cell Different kinds of plant cells
Animal cell vacuole cytoplasm nucleus • No cell wall and chloroplast • Small vacuoles • Stores glycogen granules and oil droplets in the cytoplasm glycogen granule cell membrane mitochondrion
white blood cell Amoeba red blood cell muscle cell sperm cheek cells nerve cell Paramecium Different kinds of animal cells
Similarities between plant cells and animal cells • Both have a cell membrane surrounding the cytoplasm • Both have a nucleus • Both contain mitochondria
Differences between plant cells and animal cells Animal cells Plant cells No cell wall Cell wall present
Differences between plant cells and animal cells Animal cells Plant cells Vacuole small or absent Large central vacuole Glycogen granules as food store Starch granules as food store Nucleus at the centre Nucleus near cell wall
The cell as the basic unit of life • Cell is the smallest unit of living organisms • Unicellular organisms are made of one cell only • The cells of multicellular organisms are specialized to perform different functions • e.g. mesophyll cells for photosynthesis and root hair cells for water absorption
Levels of organization • Cells are grouped together and work as a whole to perform special functions
Tissue • A group of similar cells to perform a particular function • Animals : epithelial tissue, muscular tissue • Plants :vascular tissue, mesophyll
Organ • Different tissues grouped together to carry out specialized functions • Heart :consists of muscles, nervous tissues and blood vessels • Leaf :consists of epidermis, mesophyll and vascular tissues
System • Several organs and tissues work together to carry out a particular set of functions in a coordinated way • Human :digestive, respiratory, excretory, circulatory and reproductive systems
System in our body • examples of systems : • Digestive System • Respiratory System • Circulatory System • Nervous System • Reproductive System
Level of Organization • cells (e.g. muscle cells) • tissues (e.g. muscle) • organs (e.g. heart) • systems (e.g. circulatory system) • organisms (e.g. man)
