Lets Look At Cells

In class we looked at plant cells through a compound light microscope and learned that every living thing is made up of tiny organisms called cells. During the first month we compared animal cells with plant cells, and learned the main differences between them. We got to talk a little about photosynthetic organisms and how they differ from animals. We learned about mitosis and osmosis, diffusion and differentiation. In class we had a demonstration of how water, through the process of osmosis and diffusion, slowly changed a raisin back into a grape! All of these topics have to do with the cell’s life cycle, how it behaves in nature, and how it affects us.
