Cells: Unit 2

Author: Nate Holz

Tutorial Objectives

This tutorial is a review on animal cells and the use of the microscope. The microscope component is important as our next unit is on human tissues; a major building block in a/p. Here's what you need to learn during this lesson. You will also need to read Chapter 3 in your text book, pages 63-83.

Cell Theory
Be able to define a generalized cell
Name the three basic parts of a cell and give the location of each
Be able to identify and describe a cell's organelles
Review selective permeability of a cell membrane - review hyper, hypo, and isotonic
Review the cell cycle with special emphasis on mitosis
Know the parts of the compound microscope
Know the "rules" of using the 'scope

We will also complete two labs using the microscope; cheek cell and the microscope dimensions activity that will not be a part of this Sophia tutorial.
