Cell Theory Review The cell is the basic unit of structure and function in every living thing. The development of microscopes aided in the understanding of this theory. Robert Hooke used the word cell, which means small room, to describe what he saw when he looked at thin slices of cork under a microscope. Anton van Leeuwenhoek was the first scientist to use a microscope to see tiny living organisms in a drop of water. The cell theory is one of the fundamental concepts of biology. The three tenets of the cell theory are… 1. All living things are composed of cells. 2. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things. 3. New cells are produced from existing cells. Basic Cell Structures Cells differ in size, structure, and function, but every cell has a cell membrane, cytoplasm, DNA, and ribosomes. Biologists divide cells into two categories, eukaryotes and prokaryotes. The cells of eukaryotes have a nucleus, but the cells of prokaryotes do not. Prokaryotes are generally small single-celled organisms. Eukaryotes are generally larger and more complex single or multi-celled organisms that contain a nucleus and specialized structures called organelles. A nucleus is a large structure that contains the cell’s genetic material and controls the cell’s activities. Multi-cellular organisms contain many different kinds of cells that work together. The levels of organization in these organisms are cell → tissue → organ → organ system Cell specialization means cells are specialized for the type of work they do. Plant and Animal cells are both eukaryotic, however they differ in several ways. Plant cells have chloroplasts, cell walls, and a large central vacuole. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts or cell walls, but they may contain small vacuoles. Animal cells have cytoskeleton structures called centrioles that plant cells do not. Microscopes Place your slide on the stage in the spring clip with the specimen facing up. Always start with the lowest power objective lens (4x). Move the stage to the highest position. While looking through the ocular lenses, use the coarse focus knob to slowly move the stage down until the image comes into view. Adjust the light source to achieve the best contrast. Center your specimen and switch to the medium power objective lens (10x). Adjust the fine focus knob until the specimen is in focus. Repeat for high power. To calculate total magnification, multiply the objective lens magnification by the ocular lens magnification (e.g. low power lens [4x] times ocular lens [10x] equals 40x).
