Document Summary
The microscope: operate the compound light microscope and the dissecting microscope to examine specimens, apply a scale to your drawings, estimate the size of microscopic objects; Cell structure: describe the structures and functions of a cell; Atoms molecule (dna) cellular (smooth muscle cell) tissue (smooth muscle tissue. 4 main types of tissue are epithelium, connective tissue, nerve and smooth muscle) . Organ (urinary bladder) organ systems (urinary system) organism (human) A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of living organisms. So when you define cell properties you are defining the properties of life. The activity of an organism depends on both the individual and the collective activities of its cells. Composition of our cells defines us as humans. According to the principle of complementarity of structure and function, the biochemical activities of cells are dictated by the relative number of their specific subcellular structures.
