The Fundamental Units of Life
Microscopy
● Microscopes are used to visualize cells
● In a light microscope (LM), visible light is passed through
a specimen and then through glass lenses
● Lenses refract (bend) the light so that the image is
magnified

•No nucleus
•DNA in an unbound region called the nucleoid
•No membrane-bound organelles
•Cytoplasm bound by the plasma membrane
A prokaryotic cell is enclosed by a plasma membrane
and is usually encased in a rigid cell wall

surrounded by membranes
Is a membrane factory for the cell

● Vacuoles are large vesicles derived from the
ER and Golgi apparatus
● Vacuoles perform a variety of functions in
different kinds of cells
● Food vacuoles are formed by phagocytosis
● Contractile vacuoles, found in many freshwater
protists, pump excess water out of cells
● Central vacuoles, found in many mature plant
cells, hold organic compounds and water

Fibroblasts are a favor-
ite cell type for cell
biology studies because
they spread out flat and
their internal structures
are easy to see. In each,
the structure of interest
has been tagged with
fluorescent molecules.
The DNA in the nucleus
has also been tagged
in the first micrograph
(blue) and third micro-
graph (orange).
