(CSF) Organelles Lesson

Organelles Lesson

Nucleus, cytoplasm and cell membrane are the most important features of a cell. Image of cell.In the early 1930s, the electron microscope was invented. Electron microscopes use beams of tiny electrons instead of light to magnify the image of objects.

The resolution and magnification of an electron microscope is better than the light microscopes used by Hooke and Leeuwenhoek.

The electron microscope allows scientists to view the tiny structures within a cell called organelles. Each organelle has a specific function to carry out within the cell.

 

Review the following presentation to learn more about Organelles.

 

What constitutes a Cell?

More than any other structure, it's the nucleus, cytoplasm, and cell membrane. Title: text annotation indicator

 

Explore the form and function of these three critical cell parts in this video segment adapted from Carolina Biological Supply's An Introduction to the Living Cell.

 

Watch the following video, Understanding Cells: How Cells Work, to learn more about organelles, cytoplasm, protein, the nucleus, and many of the other inner workings of cells.
