7.1 Life Is Cellular Extra Credit: answer the following on a separate sheet and attach. 1. State the cell theory. 2 Describe how the different types of microscopes work. 3. Distinguish between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
The Discovery of the Cell 1. The invention of the
made the discovery of cells possible.
2. Robert Hooke used the name
to refer to the tiny empty chambers he
saw when he observed magnified cork. 3. German botanist Matthias Schleiden concluded that
are made of cells.
4. German biologist Theodor Schwann concluded that
are made of cells.
5. Rudolph Virchow concluded that new cells are produced from 6. The
.
combines the conclusions made by Schleiden, Schwann, and
Virchow.
Exploring the Cell True or false? 7. The size of the image formed by a light microscope is unlimited because light that es through matter is diffracted. 8. Fluorescent dyes help scientists see the movement of compounds and structures in living cells. 9. Transmission electron microscopes form a 3-D image of the surface of a specimen. 11. To study cells with a light microscope, different types of stains are usually available. Why is it generally more useful to stain eukaryotic cells than prokaryotic cells?

Exploring the Cell _____2. A scientist wants to examine the structures inside of a tiny bacterial cell. What is the best microscope to use for this job? a. scanning electron microscope
b. transmission electron microscope
_____3. Your science class is going to examine the one-celled organisms in pond water. What is the best microscope to use? a. light microscope
b. scanning electron microscope
_____4. Which of these microscopes would let you see the hairlike projections on the surface of a cells better? a. transmission electron microscope b. scanning electron microscope
A microscope allows scientists to study very small objects. It magnifies objects by focusing light or electrons. The chart below contains information about three kinds of microscopes. The middle column contains a description of each type of microscope. The third column describes ways each type of microscope is used. 1. Use the below to complete the chart.
Type of Microscope
Microscopes Description of Microscope Uses beams of electrons to examine thin slices of material Uses lenses to focus light on a specimen Uses beams of electrons to view the surface of a specimen
Uses of Microscope Provides twodimensional images of cell structures Enlarges cells or cell parts up to 1000 times Provides threedimensional images of cells
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes Prokaryotes are simple cells. They lack a nucleus. Your body is made up of eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotes have a nucleus that holds DNA. They also have organelles. 1. Label the prokaryotic cell.
2. Label the eukaryotic cell.
13. Which category of cells—prokaryotic or eukaryotic—is your body composed of?
3. Compare and contrast the two types of cells by completing the table. Prokaryotic Cell Cell membrane Nucleus Cell size
Eukaryotic Cell
yes larger
Complexity
simpler
4. Your body is made up of prokaryotic
cells. eukaryotic
5. Bacteria are prokaryotic
cells. eukaryotic
6. Give two other examples of living things that are eukaryotic.
