Think: What are the good habits and safety precautions you should take not of?
Test Yourself: Name each part and state their function
Tip: Focus on the eyepiece, objective lens, condenser, and the coarse / fine adjustment knobs

Tip: Not all the cell parts are in the syllabus (check your textbook), but it is good to appreciate their functions and complexity
Occupies at least half the space
Structures are proportional in size and accurately drawn
Smooth and clean pencil lines without any shading
Label lines are straight, do not intersect, and do not contain arrowhead
Tip: Learn to label other types of cells
Tip: Learn to label other types of cells
Tip: It is good to know some common unicellular organisms which contain both sets of characteristics (this also reveals a limitation of cell models):

Think:
The mitochondria releases energy for the cell; what about the other cell parts?
Can you relate their functions to the analogy?
An analogy is a comparison between two things and helps us explain concepts. Another analogy for the cell is a school (refer to your Activity Book).
What other analogies can you think of? (E.g. A City)

Tip:
In a multicellular organism, cells are organised in a manner that allows them to work together;
This organisation allows different parts of a plant / animal to perform various functions in a coordinated way simultaneously.
Tissue = Cells that perform the same function
Organ = Tissues that perform their specific functions working together
System = Organs that perform their specific functions working together
Tip:
Division of labour occurs at the cellular level too, where different cell parts perform functions in a coordinated way so that the cell can function effectively and efficiently
