Cells, Tissues, Organs and Body Systems Notes for Quiz
Characteristics of Living Things • Composed of cells • Reproduce • Grow • Repair themselves • Require energy • Respond to their environment • Die • Produce wastes
Microscope Safety • Always carry the microscope by the arm and the base. • Never use the coarse-adjustment knob in high power (you could damage the lens/slide and it should already be in focus). • Always use a dust cover. • Be careful with slide (they are made of glass). • Store with the low-power objective lens in place. • Start with the objective lens as close to the slide as possible and then move up to focus. • Use 2 hands to focus.
Cell Structures: Animals • Nucleus: the control centre • Chromosomes: carry genetic information • Cell Membrane: controls what goes in and out of the cell • Cytoplasm: allows materials to be transported quickly and stored • Vacuole: stores water and nutrients • Flagellum: a whip-like tail that allows some cells to move • Cilia: tiny hairs that can move some cells or the surrounding environment
Cell Structures: Plants Plant cells have all the same structures as animal cells plus: • Vacuole: the vacuole is much larger in plant cells • Cell Wall: supports and protects the plant cell • Chloroplasts: contain chlorophyll and allow the plant cell to make it’s own food SEE DIAGRAMS ON PAGE 20 AND 21
Organelles • Mitochondria: provide cells with energy through respiration • Ribosomes: Proteins (needed for growth, repair and reproduction) are put together on endoplasmic reticulum • Endoplasmic Reticulum: carry materials through the cytoplasm • Golgi Apparatus: stores protein molecules • Lysosomes: Breaks down large molecules and destroys damaged or worn-out cells SEE DIAGRAMS ON PAGE 26 AND 27
Diffusion • Cell membranes are selectively permeable (they allow some things to enter or leave but not others). • Diffusion: the movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. • Substances that a cell uses up (nutrients) will be low inside the cell so they will diffuse INTO the cell. • Waste products tend to be more concentrated inside the cell so they will diffuse OUT of the cell.
Osmosis and Turgor Pressure • Osmosis is the diffusion of WATER through a selectively permeable membrane (like the cell membrane) from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. • Turgor Pressure: Water pressure in a plant cell that pushes the cytoplasm against the non-living cell wall, causing the plant to stay rigid.
HOMEWORK (we will do this in class) • Page 78-80 • # 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 17, 25a • Due next class • Don’t fret!! They are mostly multiple choice/fill in the blank questions.
