Humans are made up of trillion's of cells that have special
jobs in order to work together. This way they have a better chance of surviving.
Our cells can’t survive
independently

oak tree? Explain.
What is a cell?
The basic unit of structure and function
for all living things!
A theory is a well tested hypothesis that has not been proven incorrect to date.
What is a theory?
1. All living things are made from one or more cells.
2.Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things. (Smallest form of life!)
3.New cells come from existing cells.
What is cell theory?

1. Prokaryotic Cell – cells that lack a membrane bound nucleus. Example: Bacteria and archaea
What types of cells exist?
2. Eukaryotic Cell – a cell that contains a membrane bound nucleus & many specialized structures called organelles. (plants animals, fungi, protists.)
“Tiny organs” - specialized structures
found within a cell.
Technically, organelles have membranes around them. (ex. Mitochondria, nucleus, chloroplast, cell
membrane, E.R., etc.)
What are organelles?
Single Celled – 1 cell (ex. Ameoba, Paramecium)
Multicellular –many specialized cells working together (plants and animals)
Types of Eukaryotic cells
Plant Cell
Animal Cell

Class Review –Post Lab Questions
Magic School Bus Goes Cellular!
Journal Question: Scientists have discovered the following facts:
A. Unlike other organelles, chloroplasts and mitochondria are covered in two
layers of membrane, not one. B. Chloroplasts and Mitochondria have
their own DNA, separate from the DNA in the nucleus of the cell they
are in C. Chloroplasts and Mitochondria reproduce on their own within cells, D. These organelles are about a thousand times smaller than the cell
What can you conclude from this? What would explain all of these facts? Take some time and REALLY THINK about it.
Theory of Endosymbiosis:
A. Explains how membrane-bound organelles came to be in eukaryotes – through infolding of plasma membrane
B. Explains the journal question: Both chloroplasts and mitochondria were once separate, prokaryotic cells, until they were taken in by larger cell and became organelles
C. Why would this be selected for by natural selection?
Magic School Bus Goes Cellular! Cell Part/Organelle Function Which organ or system is the
organelle like? Explain why.
1. Nucleus DNA found inside, controls the
activities of the cell Brain / nervous system
1. Cell Membrane “selectively permeable”: regulates
what goes in and out of cell Skin / integumentary system
1. Cell Wall Rigid outer layer of plant/some
bacterial/fungal cells, for support Bones / skeletal system
1. Ribosome Tiny “protein factory” within the cell -
> proteins do most of cells work Challenging muscle? (poor
analogy though)
1. Mitochondria Powerhouse: turns food molecules into
usable energy Stomach / digestive system
1. Chloroplast Contains green chlorophyll; captures
light energy, CO2 and H2O to do
photosynthesis
Why can’t chloroplasts be
compared to any
organ/system?
1. Vacuole Storage units – Large and central in
plants, smaller in animal cells Challenging liver or fat cells
or bladder maybe
1. Lysosome Little “bags” of digestive chemicals
that kill invaders and recycle
dead/damaged cell parts.
Lymphatic/immune system

Journal Question:
Remember the Journal Question
about changing your perspective?
Describe at least three
ways in which your perspective has been changed by the unit on tissues, cells,
organelles
Today’s Agenda: 1. Write your procedure for DYOE
2. Work on Review Sheet (Quest on Cells, Microscopes, Tissues, Organelles
Next Time)
Take a few minutes to review for your test
No Journal Question:
1. Take one packet of video questions for “The
Unknown World” from the from table, and return to your seat.
2. Take out your hypothesis
and procedures for your DYOE. I am going to
collect them.

JQ: When scientists first attempted to make an avatar
they were unsuccessful. After further inspection they realized that a virus
snuck past its immune system and into its cells. Once in the
cell it took over and destroyed the cells.
Scientists think that the avatar’s cells were missing an organelle. Which organelle
was most likely missing from the avatar’s cells?

You’ve learn about how organisms interact on this
planet, and the damage that humans are causing to the balance of life. We’ve even
discussed some solutions to the problem.
You’ve also learned about how organisms are put together, from cells to organ systems.
Would you choose to be cryogenically preserved if the
technology was available? Explain.
JQ: If you are going to build an Avatar you will need to gather some DNA from a Na’vi and a human. Getting the DNA from a human is easy, but how would you go about getting it from a Na’vi? Explain.
