Introduction to the Cell Microscope http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0070723648/student_view0/online_student_text.html The Username is DiscSci8 and the Password is Student8.
Today we will: • Define cell • Learn what makes a living thing different from a non-living thing • Learn how to handle a microscope • Learn the parts of the microscope
Define cell as: the basic, functional unit of life All living things are made of cells (cell theory).
Observing Plant and Animal Cells • Onion cells • Onion cell short video
Characteristics of Living Things ( 4 according to your textbook) All living things... • Grow • Move • Respond to stimuli • Reproduce
Growth A result of the cells in your body increasing in number New cells will grow to replace old cells that die.
Movement • A change in position, shape or location (locomotion)
Animals might have wings, legs or fins to move from one location to another.

Respond to Stimuli Stimulus: anything that causes an organism to react. Maybe external or internal
Reproduction Producing more of the same kind (offspring)
We know that all living things are made up of cells. How big are cells? http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/begin/cells/scale/ How do we see those cells?

Magnification Power • The magnification power of a lens is the number of times larger an image looks under the lens. • If you look on each objective there is a number which states its magnification power. Usually: Low power (4x), Medium power (10x), High power (40x) and the ocular lens is (10x)
HOW MUCH BIGGER IS IT? • To calculate the total magnification of each objective lens multiply the power of the ocular lens by the power of the objective lens. • Example for total magnification using low power: Low power objective lens x eyepiece lens 4 x 10 = 40. The total magnification using low power is 40.
The scoop on the scope… • We can see better details with higher magnification but we can not see as much of the image!
Question???? • What are the powers of magnification for each of the objective lenses on our microscopes? • Low Power – • Medium Power- • High Power-
Remember …Total Magnification is power of objective lens power of eyepiece lens

Questions… • 1. What is a cell? • 2. What is the total magnification for the medium power objective lens? • What are the four characteristics of living things?
Homework… page 401 • Questions 2, 3, 5,6,7 • No need to write the answers down …. Yet…. But think about how you would answer these questions.
