Review of Cell Organelles

Golgi Apparatus - Packages, labels, and ships anything made in the cell

Nucleus - Where genetic information is stored (DNA)

Nucleolus - Where ribosomes are made

Plasma Membrane - The membrane around a cell (phospholipid bilayer)

Mitochondria - Where ATP (cell energy is made)

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Smooth ER - Makes lipids and also detoxifies things

Rough ER - The location where proteins are made

Ribosomes - Makes proteins

Cytoplasm - The space in the cell between the membrane and the nucleus

Cytoskeleton - Holds the structure of the cell

Vacuole - Cell storage

Vesicle - Cell transport

Lysosome - A vesicle filled with digestive enzymes for breaking things down

Centriole - For cell division

Chloroplast - Does photosynthesis

Cell Wall - Around the membrane for protection

Flagella - A tailed used for movement

Cilia - Hair like structures for movement

Intro to microscopes

-The parts of a microscope and how to use them.

Going to the Lab for the Microscope Lab

We will be practicing using the microscope by looking at a few prepared slides.

-I want you to draw what you see in Four prepared slides

-Once you have done that together we are going to go through the lab on slide staining

-You will be scraping the inside of your cheek in order to obtain some cheek cells. We will then use those to stain and prepare a slide.

-Once you have made your slide use the microscope to locate an individual cell. Once you have located one you will draw it and identify any organelles that you can find.

-The organelles are hard to find so it is okay if you can only find a few. There are many that are too small to see.

Once you have a good image of your own cheek cells under the microscope you can press your cellphone camera to the ocular and take a picture

Pond Organisms

-We are going to take a walk to the park and collect some stream water

-We will bring the water back to the lab and view it under a microscope

-Lets see what kind of microscopic organisms we can find

If you find a single celled protist in your water sample, try to identify some of its organelles

After we have viewed our water samples we will present our cell cities
