The cell theory has four basic ideas:Cells are the smallest unit capable of independent life.Cells are the basic unit of all living organisms i.e. all living things are made of cells.Cells arise from other cells by a process of cell division.The cell contains information that acts as the instructions for growth. This information is passed on to new cells.There 3 types of microscope used to study cells: light microscope, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Scanning electron microscope (SEM). Modern light microscopes can achieve an effective magnification of up to 1500x and have a maximum resolving power of 200nm. Electron microscopes can achieve magnifications of up to 500000x and resolutions of 1nm.The “power” of a microscope depends both on its magnification and resolution, the higher the resolution of a microscope the greater the detail you can see. The maximum resolution achievable with a microscope is equal to half the energy source used to create the image.Cell TheoryWhat is a cell?

Cell structureText book ref: p10-15Key objectives:What is the role of the cytoskeleton?Which organelles may be present in a cell and why?How can we recognise organelles in micrographs / diagrams?What are the differences between plant and animal cells?How do organelles in a cell work together?What are the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?Background All living things are cells or are made of cells. From your GCSE course you should be familiar with the basic structure of plant and animal cells. Since the development of the electron microscope a large number of structures have been identified within cells; those structures with a specialised function are termed organelles. Organelles within a cell work together to enable the cell to carry out its function. The fact that each organelle performs a different function within the cell is referred to as division of labour. The type, number and position of organelles will vary between cells dependent upon the cells role, environment and “life stage”.CytoskeletonThere is a network of fine filaments or fibres that run through the cytoplasm of the cell. This is known as the cytoskeleton. There are three types of fibre:microfilamentsintermediate filamentsmicrotubulesComplete the table to compare the structure and functions of the components of the cytoskeleton:Cytoskeleton ComponentFunctionMicrofilamentSize:Composition:Intermediate filamentSize:Composition:MicrotubuleSize:Composition:Describe two ways in which the cytoskeleton can aid the movement of an entire cell.Name a type of human cell (not a sperm cell) that is able to move and explain why this is important to the cells functionWhy might chloroplasts need to be moved around a plant cellMany of the cells that line the human respiratory system are ciliated.

The mRNA then leaves the nucleus via the _________________ and travels to the ______________ where the message is read and translated into protein. The newly manufactured proteins are transported to forming face of Golgi body/apparatus in transport __________. Within the Golgi apparatus the proteins are processed. Vesicles are budded off from the maturing face of Golgi and are transferred to the ___________________ for secretion.
