    The document discusses the levels of organization of living organisms: [1] Cells are the basic unit of life and contain organelles that allow them to perform functions. [2] Tissues are groups of similar cells that work together. [3] Organs are made of multiple tissues and have specialized functions. [4] Systems consist of organs working together towards a shared function. [5] The organism is the whole living being made of interacting systems. The levels build upon each other from cells to tissues to organs to systems and finally the complete organism.

    A. Discovery of Cells

    1. The Discovery
     The term ‘cell’ was first used by Robert Hooke, a British scientist, in 1665 to describe the structures that
    he saw in a piece of cork (樹樹 ) under a compound microscope (樹樹樹樹樹 ).

    2. Cell Theory (樹樹樹 樹 )


     After further observations and studies, two German scientists, Schleiden and Schwann, proposed the cell
    theory.
     The theory states that

    The cell is the basic unit of ______________ and _______________ in organisms

    3. Microscope

    a. Introduction
     Microscopes are tools for _______________ (樹樹 ) very small objects.

    b. Technological Developments of Microscope (樹樹樹樹樹樹樹樹 )

    i. Light Microscope
     It uses light for observation.

    1. Simple microscope
     It is the earliest type of microscope which has one lens only.

    2. Compound microscope
     It has at least two lens.
     A good compound microscope can magnifying an object up to 1,500 times.

    ii. Electron Microscope (樹樹樹樹樹 )


     It uses electron beam (樹樹樹 ) instead of light for observation.
     It can magnify a structure up to 700,000 times
     Scanning electron microscope (樹樹樹樹樹樹樹 ) can give 3-dimensional images.

    c. Contribution to the Discovery of Cells


     Before the invention of microscopes, no one can see the tiny structures, e.g. cells, of organisms.
     With the technological developments of microscopes, even tiny parts of ___________ can be studied.
