MICROSCOPY RULES AND USE Always carry upright with one hand under the base and the other around the arm. Only clean lenses with lens paper Always start on low-power objective. If shifting to a higher power objective, rotate carefully. Always use fine adjustment knob when using a higher power objective

USING A COMPOUND LIGHT MICROSCOPE 1) Ensure that lowest-power objective is in place. 2) Place specimen on the stage. 3) Adjust slide so that the area of interest is in view. 4) Use the course adjustment knob to focus on the specimen. 5) Slowly rotate the high-power objective into place, making sure that the lens does not touch the slide. 6) Use the FINE ADJUSTMENT KNOB ONLY to further refine your focus.

CELL THEORY All living organisms are composed of cells The cell is the basic unit of life Cells arise from pre-existing cells Cells contain hereditary information which is passed from cell to cell during cell division Scientific Theory: Explanation of some aspect of the natural world that has been substantiated through repeated experiments or testing. Examples: Atomic theory, Germ theory, Theory of Evolution, Theory of Homeostasis, Theory of Gravity, Theory of Molecular Bonds

INTRO CYTOLOGY REVIEW Prokaryotes

INTRO CYTOLOGY REVIEW PROKARYOTES Prokaryote = before nucleus No nucleus or membrane-bound organelles Regions of concentrated DNA Nucleoid Ribosomes particles involved in protein synthesis Flagella used for movement Pili attach to surfaces or exchange genetic material

ENDOSYMBIOTIC THEORY Prokaryotic organism is engulfed or parasitizes early eukaryote Mitochondria consume oxygen to extract energy (ATP) from glucose, produce carbon dioxide and water. Chloroplasts consume water and carbon dioxide; capture energy from light, transforms light energy into chemical energy (glucose) and releases oxygen. Both mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA.

CYANOBACTERIA Sometimes called blue-green algae Large prokaryotes with chlorophyll and other pigments for photosynthesis Surrounded by mucilaginous sheath Contributed to early oxygenation of ancient earth s atmosphere

BACTERIA Yogurt Lactobacillus Gram positive bacteria Converts lactose into lactic acid (milk yogurt) How does the size of Lactobacillus compare to the Cyanobacteria?

ELODEA Look for chloroplasts, nucleus, cell wall, central vacuole.

ONION CELLS Stain with IKI (Iodine) Compare stained VS unstained onion cells

AMYLOPLASTS Plastids that store starch Stain potato with iodine

SPIROGYRA Filamentous green alga Named for spiral arrangement of chloroplasts.
