Cells
We started class by Mr.Finley telling us that he fixed the study guides. Then we watched a video and answered these questions...explain what you see. Is this living, nonliving, dormant, or dead? What is the evidence? The last question was what type of cells are these if alive? What is your evidence? (Animal, plant, or bacteria. Eukaryotic or prokaryotic). My answers to these questions were, I think I saw an oval like thing that had hairy things around it and I thought it was single-celled organism eating or attacking something. It is a living thing. My proof is it is moving and seems to have DNA scattered through it. My last answer was it is a bacteria cell because it is moving and seems to have DNA and all the parts that bacteria has which makes it a prokaryotic cell. We all saw different things which we never decided on what was what. Then as a class we decided that it was an animal cell because it jiggles, doesn't have a cell wall, and it a cillia. Bacteria and plant cells do have cell walls. We also decided that it had to be living because it seemed like a cell. Then we looked at two pictures of bacteria under an electron microscope. They had capsules and cell walls so you coudn't see through them but the animal cell in the video was see through. After this we watched another video with paramecium eating yeast that was dyed red.

You can see through a cell wall, you can see through a plant cell with a cell wall. The capsule is really what makes the cell unable to be seen through.

I don't think you can see through a cell wall, but I'm not sure. I know you can see through a cell membrane. The first video we watched was on a paramecium.

Rachel, you cannot see through a cell wall nor a capsule. The reason you might think that is because we could see the plant cell in class cut out but that was just a cut out portion of it to show the organelles of the cell.
