7-1 Worksheet

This document provides information about microscopes and cells. It begins with an introductory paragraph about the cell theory and describing microscopes. It then discusses the discovery of cells and different types of microscopes like light, transmission electron, and scanning electron microscopes. The document also contrasts prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, noting that prokaryotes lack nuclei while eukaryotes have membrane-bound nuclei. It provides examples of each type of cell and describes how microscopes can be used to examine different cellular structures at various magnifications.

Extra Credit: answer the following on a separate sheet and attach.
1. State the cell theory.
2 Describe how the different types of microscopes work.
3. Distinguish between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

The Discovery of the Cell


1. The invention of the

made the discovery of cells possible.

2. Robert Hooke used the name

to refer to the tiny empty chambers he

saw when he observed magnified cork.


3. German botanist Matthias Schleiden concluded that

are made of cells.

4. German biologist Theodor Schwann concluded that

are made of cells.

5. Rudolph Virchow concluded that new cells are produced from


6. The

combines the conclusions made by Schleiden, Schwann, and

Virchow.

Exploring the Cell


True or false?
7. The size of the image formed by a light microscope is unlimited because
light that passes through matter is diffracted.
8. Fluorescent dyes help scientists see the movement of compounds and
structures in living cells.
9. Transmission electron microscopes form a 3-D image of the surface of a
specimen.
11. To study cells with a light microscope, different types of stains are usually available. Why
is it generally more useful to stain eukaryotic cells than prokaryotic cells?

In the second row of the table, draw diagrams to show how a sample of three
yeast cells would look in the types of micrographs indicated in the top row of the table.

the best microscope to use for this job?
a. scanning electron microscope

b. transmission electron microscope

_____3. Your science class is going to examine the one-celled organisms in pond water.

A microscope allows scientists to study very small objects. It magnifies objects by focusing
light or electrons. The chart below contains information about three kinds of microscopes.
The middle column contains a description of each type of microscope. The third column
describes ways each type of microscope is used.
1. Use the terms below to complete the chart.

Type of Microscope

Microscopes
Description of Microscope
Uses beams of electrons to
examine thin slices of material
Uses lenses to focus light on a
specimen
Uses beams of electrons to view
the surface of a specimen

Uses of Microscope
Provides twodimensional images of
cell structures
Enlarges cells or cell
parts up to 1000 times
Provides threedimensional images of
cells

Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes


Prokaryotes are simple cells. They lack a nucleus. Your body is made up of eukaryotic cells.
Eukaryotes have a nucleus that holds DNA. They also have organelles.
