A.

Animal Cell

1) Cell Membrane:
 Controls what goes in and out of the cell
 Receive stimule
 Protects the organelles
2) Cytoplasm:
 To support and suspend organelles and cellular molecules
3) Nucleus:
 Control center of the cell
 Contain cells genetic information (DNA/RNA)
4) Mitochondria:
 The power center of cell
 Respiration occurs here and produced ATP (energy)
5) Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER):
 Produce/synthesis protein
6) Lysosomes:
 Contain digestive enzymes to engulf aged organelles, food, and bacteria
 Recycle unneeded parts
7) Ribosomes:
 Responsible for protein synthesis
8) Golgi Aparatus:
 Processes and packs proteins and lipids
9) Centriol:
 Require for nuclear division
B. Plant Cell

1) Cell wall:
 Helps the plant to stay upright
 Give shape (boxy shape)
 Protects and supports the cells
2) Vacuole:
 Storage area
3) Chloroplast
 Contain green pigment known as chlorophyll
 Responsible for photosynthesis
4) Amyloplast:
 Store the starch
C. The differences in animal cells with plant cells

D. UNICELLULAR AND MULTICELLULAR ORGANISMS, AND CELL


SPECIALISATION
E. HISTORY ABOUT MICROSCOPES
 Robert Hooke was the first person to study cells using a compound microscope
with two lenses that he designed.
 He observed a thin slice of oak cork under the microscope.
 The cork consists of many tiny, room-like structures, which Hooke called cells.
What he observed were actually dead cell walls of plant cells.
 Anton van Leeuwenhoek created a single-lens microscope powerful enough to
observe red blood cells, sperm cells, protozoa and bacteria.
 He discovered the existence of single-cell organisms.
 He is known as the Father of Microbiology since he discovered microscopic life.

F. TYPES OF MICROSCOPE
I. Light microscope
uses light and lenses to magnify image of dead or live specimens.
It has two types of lenses: eyepiece and objective lens.
It has a low magnifying power between 500× and 1500×.
There are two types: monocular and binocular light microscopes.
II. Electron microscope
 An electron microscope uses a beam of electrons to magnify the image of
dead specimens.
 It has a high magnifying power more than 100 000×.
 The image is produced on a screen or photographic plate.
