In this chapter, we will be learning about cell biology and cell organisation. We will start by studying the structure and function of cells. We will learn how to prepare microscope slides of animal and plant cells and identify their structures through a light microscope. Next, we will explore the living processes in unicellular organisms such as Amoeba and Paramecium. We will conceptualise these processes and deduce them through observations using a light microscope. Moving on, we will focus on the living processes of multicellular organisms. We will understand how specialised cell structures in these organisms have unique functions. We will also learn to identify specialised cells in multicellular organisms. Lastly, we will study the levels of organisation in multicellular organisms. We will learn to sequence these levels and identify cells, tissues, and organs in an organ system.
• Prepare microscope slides of animal and plant cells
• Identify the structures of animal and plant cell based on observations through a light microscope
• Analyse the components of animal and plant cells as seen on micrographs
• State the main functions of components in animal cells and plant cells as seen on micrographs
• Compare and contrast the components of animal cells and plant cells
• Conceptualise living processes in unicellular organism such as Amoeba sp. and Paramecium sp.
• Deduce living processes of unicellular organism as seen through light microscope
• Correlate the uniqueness specialised cell structures with their functions in multicellular organisms
• Identify specialised cells in multicellular organisms
• Analyse the density of certain organelles with the functions of specialised cells in multicellular organisms
• Describes the effects of deficiency, absence or failure in the function of an organelle of certain cells in multicellular organism
• Make a sequence of levels of organisation in the multicellular organisms
