   •    A microscope reverses and inverts the image of an object seen under it
   •    Things moving under a microscope are actually moving in the opposite direction




                                                                                         3

        a vacuum chamber
    •   can’t be used with living material




Scanning Electron Microscope

    •   provides images with 3-D quality
    •   can’t be used with living material

   •    Knowledge of cells has been increased by
        manipulation and dissection of cells

Micromanipulator – used to dissect cells, can
                   remove nuclei



High – Speed Centrifuge

   •    Spin at high speeds
   •    Cell components sort out in different layers according to density

      unit called the ______________________________
   • A micrometer is 1/1000 of a millimeter
   Ex.) red blood cell = 8.5 micrometers
            Bacteria = 2 micrometers

How to convert millimeters to micrometers

   •   Multiply by one thousand or move the decimal point 3 places to the right

   Ex.) 4.56 mm =
            0.0378mm =

How to convert micrometers to millimeters

   •   Divide by 1,000 or move the decimal point three places to the left

Ex.) A tiny worm is 2,500 micrometers long. How long is this worm in millimeters?

2,500 micrometers =

Ex.) Convert .15 micrometers to millimeters

.15 micrometers =

How to find the diameter of your field of view

   •   Place a transparent plastic ruler in the field of view like this

       •    Made of a double layered sheet called a ______________________________
              o Gives it its flexible structure
              o Also contains protein molecules and carbohydrates embedded in the
                  bilayer
              o Proteins form channels and pumps that help move material across the
                  membrane
              o Carbohydrates act as ID cards

   2. Cell Walls - ________________________________________________________
       • Found in plants, algae, fungi and many prokaryotes
       • Allow many molecules to pass through easily (not selectively permeable)

Diffusion Through Cell Boundaries
    • One of the most important functions of the cell membrane is to regulate the
       movement of dissolved molecules from one side of a membrane to the other.

Measuring concentration

Concentration - ___________________________________________________________
Ex.) What is the concentration of 12 grams of salt in 3 liters of water?




                                                                                      12
Ex.) What is the concentration of 12 grams of salt in 6 liters of water?



Which is more concentrated?

   •   In a solution, particles move constantly. They collide with one another and tend to
       spread out randomly

Diffusion - ______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________
_




Equilibrium - ____________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________
_

   •   Because diffusion depends on random particle movements, substances diffuse
       across membranes without ____________________ being used
   •   Even during equilibrium, particles still move, but there is no net change in
       concentration

Osmosis - _______________________________________________________________

How Osmosis Works




                                                                                       13

Facilitated diffusion - ______________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________
_
ex.) glucose passing into cells
    • Only go from high concentration to low
        concentration
    • Does not require energy




Types of Active transport

   •   Sometimes cells must move materials in
       the opposite direction – low concentrations
       to high concentrations

Active transport - _________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________
_

Molecular transport - ______________________________________________________

Carrier proteins - _________________________________________________________




   •   Requires a lot of energy to keep working
   •   Moves substances against a concentration gradient

Endocytosis and Exocytosis

   •   Some molecules are too large to be moved by carrier proteins



                                                                            15
Endocytosis - ____________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________
_
   • Forms a vacuole
   • Large molecules, clumps of food and even whole cells can be taken in this way




Examples of Endocytosis

Phagocytosis – extensions of cytoplasm surround a particle and package it within a food
vacuole.
   • We can give this the nickname __________________________

Pinocytosis – tiny particles form along the cell membrane, fill with liquid, and pinch off
to form vacuoles within the cell
    • We can give this the nickname __________________________

Exocytosis - _____________________________________________________________

                          7-4 The Diversity of Cellular Life

Unicellular organisms - ___________________________
   • Do everything a living organism does
   Ex.) yeast, protests, bacteria

Multicellular Organisms - __________________________
  • Depend on communication and cooperation among specialized cells

   Specialization - ________________________________________________________

Specialized Animal Cells

    Facilitated diffusion -______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _ ex.) glucose passing into cells • Only go from high concentration to low concentration • Does not require energy Types of Active transport • Sometimes cells must move materials in the opposite direction – low concentrations to high concentrations Active transport - _________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _ Molecular transport - ______________________________________________________ Carrier proteins - _________________________________________________________ • Requires a lot of energy to keep working • Moves substances against a concentration gradient Endocytosis and Exocytosis • Some molecules are too large to be moved by carrier proteins 15

    Endocytosis - ____________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _ • Forms a vacuole • Large molecules, clumps of food and even whole cells can be taken in this way Examples of Endocytosis Phagocytosis – extensions of cytoplasm surround a particle and package it within a food vacuole. • We can give this the nickname __________________________ Pinocytosis – tiny particles form along the cell membrane, fill with liquid, and pinch off to form vacuoles within the cell • We can give this the nickname __________________________ Exocytosis - _____________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _ 16
