List the major differences between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes-
Robert Hooke- was the first scientist to use the biological term cell as he described thin slices of cork.
Images from “Robert Hooke’s famous cork cell experiment-
View a sample of cork from a wine bottle:
– Sketch the cork cells you are viewing and label the parts of the cell that you observe.
– What type of cells are the cork cells you are viewing?
– From what species are traditional corks typically made of? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_(material)
– Are mature cork cells alive or dead? http://www.microscopyu.com/gallery-images/cork-cells-1
Plant Cells-
1. Look at the living plant Elodea.
– Draw what you see and label the cell wall and chloroplasts.
2. AID some salt water to the slide and look at it again.
– Draw what you see.
– What happened to the cell after the salt water was aIDed?
Paste images of your plant cell drawings here:
In lecture we learned that most plants store extra sugar (glucose) as starch.
3. Look at a potato cell and stain it with iodine.
– Draw what you see. (Iodine stains starch grains a dark purple)
– In what structures are starch grains stored in a plant cell?
Animal Cells-
1. Look at red blood cell samples of humans, birds, and fish
– How does human “mammalian blood” differ from non-mammal animal blood?
– How is this difference possible? https://www.reference.com/science/human-blood-differ-animal-blood-a047b4136676a8c7
Viewing the Human Cheek Cell-
Tutorial videos for viewing human cheek cells- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2x3MKSJez4
– Prepare your own human cheek cells on a microscope slide and examine them under the microscope.
? Sketch your human cheek cells and be sure to label your magnification
– Take a picture of your sketches & paste it here:
? Cut & paste some aIDitional online digital images of human cheek cells:
Bacterial Cells
