CellsQuiz #2 Outline: Cell Organelles, Early Cell Theories and The Microscope Tues, April 9th2013

Addressed Curriculum Outcomes:
• Explain that it is important to use proper terms when comparing plant and animal cells (109-13)

• Distinguish between plant and animal cells (304-5)

• Compare the early idea that living organisms were made of air, fire, and water with the modern cell theory (110-2)

• Use a light microscope or micro viewer correctly to produce a clear image of cells (209-3)

Be sure to study your class notes and refer to the PowerPoint presentations etc. posted on my website if needed.

  • List the main differences between plant and animal cells (with explanation as to why this is), and be able to identify, label, and define the organelles found in each(109-13, 304-5)
  • Compare cells based on
  • Cell size
  • Cell shape
  • Cell colour (green pigment chlorophyll found in plant cells)
  • Organelles found (plant cells – cell wall, chloroplasts; animal cells – flagellum/cilia)
  • Size and number of vacuoles
  • Explain how early cell theory ideas differ from the modern cell theory and explain how philosophers and scientists came to draw these ideas(110-2)
  • Early cell theory – classical elements (Earth, wind, fire, water) – observed from natural world
  • Modern cell theory – all living things are composed of tiny cells, and all cells come from pre-existing cells
    – only made possible by the invention of the microscope
  • Give step-by-step instructions on how to use a microscope safely and properly(209-3)
  • Order of steps (turn on, clip slide into place on stage with stage clips, coarse focus knobs, etc.) in order to get a cell into focus
  • At least three safety rules (how to carry, how to store with low objective facing down, etc.)
