(a) Write two rules that you should follow when using a microscope. (b) Describe what is meant by the field of view. (c) nna prepared a microscope slide to view her cheek cells. Calculate the magnification of the cells if she set up her microscope with the following lenses: (i) eyepiece lens at x10 and objective lens at x4 (ii) eyepiece lens at x10 and objective lens at x10 (d) The eyepiece lens always has a magnification of x10. Which objective lens would nna need to use for her cheek cells to appear 400 times larger? Total 10
Homework 2 Plant and nimal Cells 1. Look at the drawing of an onion cell. E D C a) Name the stain that is used to show up the structures in onion cells more clearly. b) Draw a diagram of the cell in your jotter and label parts to E. (3) (c) What is the function of part D? 3. Look at the drawing of a cheek cell. F H G a) Which stain is used to show up the structures in a cheek cell more clearly? b) Draw a diagram of the cell in your jotter and label parts F to H. (1.5)
4. Which three structures are found in both plant and animal cells? (1.5) 5. The table below shows the length of five different cell types. Type of cell Length in micrometres (1000 micrometres = 1 mm) red blood cell 7 onion 150 rhubarb 200 cheek 50 white blood cell 12 a) Draw a bar chart for the information in the table. (3) b) What is the length of a rhubarb cell in millimetres? Total 13
Homework 3 Cell Model The cells you have seen in pictures or under the microscope may make you think that cells are thin and flat like pancakes. This is not true; cells are three-dimensional. Most plant cells are shaped like a shoe box. Most animal cells are like wrinkled footballs. y now you will know all about the structures found in plant and animal cells. This is your opportunity to put that knowledge into practise and create your very own model cell using everyday items found at home. Using materials found around the house, create a model of a plant or animal cell. You will be judged by your classmates on the following criteria: Labelling of parts Creativity Presentation e creative! Some of the materials you may find useful include: cling-film, buttons, paper clips, tissues and their boxes, paper, play-dough, plastic containers and dried pasta. The possibilities are endless. Good Luck! HNDY HINTS Cardboard is good for cell walls Plastic bags are good for membranes and vacuoles Plasticine can be used for the nucleus and chloroplasts Try adding some labels to your model
Homework 4 Different Cell Types nswer the following questions in your homework jotter. 1. Use the information below to identify each cell types and. - This cell that has a long tail so that it can swim to fertilise an egg cell. - This cell has no nucleus so that it can carry oxygen around the body. 2. Explain what is meant by the term microbe. 3. Name the type of microbe that is used to make yogurt. 4. a) Describe what happens to milk when yogurt is added and the sample is left overnight. b) What causes this change? (2) 5. Some types of bacteria can cause harm to humans. Write two rules that you should remember to avoid food poisoning by bacteria. (2) Total 8
Homework 5 Research Task Have you ever had a virus? What about a bacterial infection? Diseases can cause us to become ill if dangerous microbes are able to enter the body. There a number of ways in which the body defends itself against disease. Can you think of any examples of these? You are going to complete a research task in groups that will answer the following question: How does the body defend itself against disease? How do vaccinations help the body to fight off diseases? You can present your information as a written report, information poster or power point presentation. Use the Preparing Powerful Presentations guide on the literacy board in your classroom to help you prepare effectively for your task.
