First Observations of cells
-Around 1590 the microscope was invented.
-The invention of the microscope made it possible for people to discover and learn about cells.
-Microscope: an instrument that magnifies images.
-In 1663 Robert Hooke observed cork cells -Anton van Leeuwenhoek observed unicellular organisms

SequencingConstruct a flowchart showing how the work of Hooke, Leeuwenhoek, Schleiden, Schwann, and Virchow contributed to scientific understanding of cells.
Discovering Cells
Hooke sees cells in cork.
Leeuwenhoek sees many one-celled organisms.
Schleiden concludes that all plants are made of cells.
Schwann concludes that all animals (and all living things) are made of cells.
Virchow proposes that new cells form only from cells that already exist.

Before you read, preview Figure 12. Then write two questions you have about the illustrations in a graphic organizer like the one below. As you read, answer your questions.
Q. How are animal cells different from plant cells?
A. Plants cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, which animal cells do not have.
Q. What do mitochondria do?
A. Mitochondria convert energy in food molecules to energy the cell can use.

Diffusion
-Diffusion is the main method by which small molecules move across the cell membrane.
-Diffusion is the process by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Cell Structure and Function
Ratios The concentration of a solution can be expressed as a ratio. A ratio compares two numbers. It tells you how much you have of one item in comparison to another. For example, suppose you dissolve 5 g of sugar in 1 L of water. You can express the concentration of the solution in ratio form as5 g:1 L, or 5 g/L.
Practice Problem
Suppose you dissolve 7 g of salt in 1 L of water. Express the concentration of the solution as a ratio.
7 g:1 L or 7 g/L
