This document provides an overview of Module 1 of a cell structure course. The module will look at cells, their organelles and structures. It will examine the differences between plant and animal cells and different types of cells. The module objectives are to: describe plant and animal cell structures and identify them under a microscope; describe the functions of cell structures; understand differences between eukaryotes and prokaryotes; explain tissues and organs; and understand membrane structure and transport mechanisms. The document then provides details on using a light microscope, including its history, magnification, resolution, specimen preparation, and structures that can be seen under a light microscope for both animal and plant cells.

In this unit you will look at cells. You will look at the organelles and structures within cells, as well as the differences between different kinds of cells. Module Objectives
To describe the structures of plant and animal cells, and identify
these structures under a microscope To describe the functions of cell structures To understand the differences between eukaryotes and prokaryotes To explain the terms tissue and organ with reference to squamous and ciliated epithelia To know the fluid mosaic model of a membrane and the roles of membranes To understand transport mechanisms in and out of cells
My Personal Learning target for this lesson is:
How I ACHIEVED my personal learning target:
The Light Microscope
Objective: To understand how a light microscope works. C: I can describe how a light microscope works and explain how to use one.
B: I can Explain the
advantages and limitations of using a light microscope
A: I can Explain how
the preparation of specimens reduces limitations
Animal, plant or both? (ALL)
Starter Task: Copy and complete the above table (all).
In pairs one person set up the light microscope and the other write a set of bullet point instructions.
Objective: To understand how a light microscope works.
Objective: To understand how a light microscope works.
The history 1660s Robert Hooke - examined a thin slice of cork and saw a network of tiny boxlike compartments that reminded him of a honeycomb. He called them cellulae - cells.
1700s Antonie van Leeuwenhoek - used
simple microscopes to make many observations of the nature of cells.
Objective: To understand how a light microscope works.
Cell Theory (Weisman 1880):
The cell theory states that the basic unit of structure and function of all living organism is the cell.
All cells arise from pre-existing cells by cell
division (Virchovs theory of 1855). The study of cells is known as cell biology. The study of cells using light microscopes is know as cytology. The cell is the basic unit of biology. Every organism either consists of many cells (multicellular) or is itself a single cell (unicellular).
Objective: To understand how a light microscope works.
How do these images differ?
Objective: To understand how a light microscope works.
Magnification and resolution
Magnification is the number of times larger an image is compared with the real size of an object. Magnification = size of image actual size of specimen The ability to distinguish two objects close together (clear) rather than see them as a single object (blur) is called the resolving power or resolution.
Objective: To understand how a light microscope works.
Same magnification or same resolution?
Resolution levels (smallest
distance apart can distinguish two separate objects.
Human eye = 100um
Light Microscope = 200nm
Electron Microscope = 0.2 nm
Objective: To understand how a light microscope works.

how a light microscope works and describe it advantages and disadvantages.
2.
How are the specimens
prepared? Why do we use stains?
