Good day Grade 7 I am hoping that everybody is doing fine as we start


our lesson. We are now going to discuss the Module 1 of Second Quarter. Let this
cartoon version of my self be your guide for she will serve as your teacher during
this pandemic.
So, sit back and relax!
HAPPY LEARNING, my dear students! 

Let us pray…
Almighty God, our heavenly Father, you have
committed to your holy Church the care and
nurture of your children. Enlighten with your
wisdom those who teach and those who learn,
that rejoicing in the knowledge of your truth, they
may worship you and serve you from generation
to generation; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

Let us now discuss the first lesson of Module 1. You


surely have read and knew the history of microscope.
Can you identify the parts and state the function of
each part?
Let’s check it out!
ARE YOU READY TO LEARN?

LESSON
THE MICROSCOPE AND IT’S HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT
1
Microscope is a precision instrument and the commonly used tool being used by biologist in
conducting biological researches and in studying objects or organism or parts of organism that is
invisible to our naked eye.
The discovery of lenses started during first century AD (year 100), when the glass had been
invented. They discover that if you look through an object using this glass, the object would look
larger. They called this clear glass lens, derived from the Latin term lentil because it resembled the
shape of a lentil bean.
A Compound Light In 1950, two Dutch eyeglass makers named Zaccharias
Microscope
Janssen and his brother Hans started experimenting using lenses. The
Janssen brothers made a very important discovery, a compound
microscope. Compound because it uses two or more lenses.
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek used single-lens microscopes, which he made, to make
the first observations of bacteria and protozoa also known as animalcules. His extensive
research on the growth of Janssen’s Compound
Microscope
small animals such as fleas, mussels, and eels helped disprove
the theory of spontaneous generation of life. These breakthroughs earned him the title “Father of
Microscopy”.
Robert Hooke, an
Englishman also spent much of
his life working with microscope
improving their designs and capabilities. Hooke,
using his improved compound microscope, Robert Hooke Hooke’s compound tiny compartment in a
discovered tiny compartments in a thin slice cork. He microscope slice of cork
called these compartments cells.

There are two types of microscopes:


1. The Simple Microscope
 Composed of one lens and provide relatively low magnifying power (5x). A magnifying
glass is a good example of simple microscope.
2. Compound Microscope
 Composed of two or more lenses that provide powerful magnification.
 The parts of compound light microscope are categorized into three: illuminating parts,
magnifying parts, and mechanical parts.

PARTS OF THE MICROSCOPE

The Illuminating parts are the parts that provides the light.
Light is important for the object/ specimen to be seen. The light may
come from two sources: natural source/reflected sunlight or artificial
sources/light bulb.
 Mirror- reflects the light from the source to the specimen.
 Diaphragm- regulates the amount of light striking the
specimen.
 Ocular/ eyepiece- focuses light to the eye, where the
observer peeps through.
 Objectives- gather light.
The Magnifying parts are the parts that enlarge the object or the
specimen.
 Ocular lens- enlarges the object six times (6x) or ten
times(10x).
 Objective lenses- aside from gathering light, they magnify
the image.
Most often, a CLM has three objectives:
 Low Power Objectives (LPO) that locates and enlarges
the specimen 10 x.
 High Power Objectives (HPO) that enlarges the specimen
40x, 43x, or 45x.
 Oil Immersion Objective (OIO) that enlarges the object
100x.
The Mechanical Parts are the parts of the microscope that support, adjust, connect and move other parts.
 Base – supports the entire weight of the microscope.
 Arm- supports the body tube and the part that is held when the microscope is carried from one place to
another.
 Body Tube- connects the lenses of the objectives and the ocular.
 Stage- holds the slide in place.
 Stage Clips- hold the slide firmly in place.
 Adjustment screws- move the objectives to bring the specimen into focus.
--Coarse adjustment screw- the large knob that moves the body tube faster to focus the specimen.
--Fine Adjustment Screw- the smaller knob that is used to get a sharp focus of the specimen being viewed.
 Revolving Nose Piece- a rotating disc that holds th different objectives and allows for the shifting from one
objective to the next.

CARING FOR THE MICROSCOPE

1. Exercised great care in handling your microscope. Always use two hands in bringing it from
the cabinet to the working table and back. Hold the microscope by its arm with one hand and
supports its base with your other hand. Hold it in an upright position.
2. Clean the lenses before and after using the microscope. Use only lens paper for cleaning.
Other materials can scratch the lenses.
3. In focusing the specimen, use the coarse adjustment knob only when the LPO is being used.
For the HPO, always use the fine adjustment screw. Do not force the knob.
4. Always cover the microscope inside the storage cabinet.

FOCUSING SPECIMENS USING THE COMPOUND LIGHT


MICROSCOPE

1. Turn the revolving turret (2) so that the lowest power objective lens (eg. 4x) is clicked into position.
2. Place the microscope slide on the stage (6) and fasten it with the stage clips.
3. Look at the objective lens (3) and the stage from the side and turn the focus
knob (4) so the stage moves upward. Move it up as far as it will go without
letting the objective touch the coverslip.
4. Look through the eyepiece (1) and move the focus knob until the image
comes into focus.
5. Adjust the condenser (7) and light intensity for the greatest amount of light.
6. Move the microscope slide around until the sample is in the center of the field
of view (what you see).
7. Use the focus knob (4) to place the sample into focus and readjust the
condenser (7) and light intensity for the clearest image (with low power
objectives you might need to reduce the light intensity or shut the
condenser).
8. When you have a clear image of your sample with the lowest power
objective, you can change to the next objective lenses. You might need to
readjust the sample into focus and/or readjust the condenser and light
intensity. If you cannot focus on your specimen, repeat steps 3 through 5
with the higher power objective lens in place. Do not let the objective lens
touch the slide!
9. When finished, lower the stage, click the low power lens into position and
remove the slide.

Note: Both eyes should be open when viewing through the microscope. This
prevents eye fatigue, which occurs when the non­viewing eye is kept closed.
Keeping both eyes open does take some practice, but it is highly
Page 4 of 16 recommended. Also, you should never let your eye touch the ocular lens. If

Now, we will proceed on the Lesson 2 of Module 1. In here we


will describe the levels of organization
So, what are you waiting for? Let’s start! 

UNIT III: PARTS AND FUNCTION OF ORGANISM

There are many levels of biological organization. Biologist


differ in terms of the numbers of levels they consider.

1. Atom- the smallest unit of matter that possesses physical and chemical
properties. Matter that is composed of only one kind of atom is called an
element. An atom contains subatomic particles: proton, neutron and Orbit /Shell

electron. The protons and the neutrons are found within the nucleus at the center while the electrons are
located outside the nucleus moving around a path called orbit, shell, energy level.
2. Molecules- consist of two or more atoms that are chemically combined/ bonded together.
 Micro molecules- composed of many atoms that function as subunits from where
large molecules are built. Example: glucose which serves as the subunit of a
carbohydrate molecule.
Configuration of atom
 Macromolecules- molecules that are made up of many
Configuration of molecules subunits like carbohydrate, protein, fats, and DNA.

3. Organelles- highly organized assemblies of several macromolecules bonded together to perform specific
function in the cell. Most often, of the organelles are membrane bounded. Examples: mitochondria, nucleus,
chloroplast and lysosomes.
4. Cell- collection of organelles that are functioning
together. It is considered as the basic unit of life
that is capable of carrying out all the functions of
living things. Cells have varied sizes and shapes.
5. Tissue- group of distinct and similar cells that
work together to perform a specific set of
functions. Examples of tissues in plants are
parynchema, collenchyma and schlerenchyma
tissues. Example of tissues in animals are epithelial
tissues, connective, muscular, and nervous tissue.
6. Organ- consist of different tissues organized
together to perform a certain function. For
example, the heart is made up of different tissues
that enables it to perform the task of pumping
blood to all parts of the body.
7. Organ system- consist of several different organs that work together to perform a broad spectrum of functions.
For example excretory organ that function in removing waste from the various parts of the body and eliminating
them through sweating and urination.
8. Organism- aggregation of the organ system that work together to bring various life activities. Human have 11
various organ system. An organism is an individual belonging to a particular species that has its own distinct
existence as a complex, self-reproducing unit.

9. Population- group of organisms of the same species occupying a given area. These organisms are freely
interacting with one another. Populations are sometimes comprised of small
groups- a pack of wolves, pride of lions, towns of squirrel, herd of cattle, and
colony of termites.

Population of penguins in
Antarctica

10. Community- consist of


all the populations of different species of organisms living
together in a given area. These organisms are interacting
with one another. Their interactions may be harmful,

symbiotic, or cooperative. Examples are all living things in fresh water ponds, all the species in a rice field, and all
the living things in prairie.

11. Ecosystem- consist of all the community of organisms that inhabit the same
area, as well as the nonliving components of the area and the sets of
interactions that exist between these two components.

Savanna is an example of
ecosystem

12. Biome- pertains to a


collection of ecosystem with similar climates and covering a
large geographical areas.
13. Biosphere- consist of the totality of the ecosystems of planet
earth. It also pertains to any part of earth’s atmosphere where
life exist.

LESSON
CELL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
3
The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life. Its presence identifies living things from non-
living things. Knowledge about the cell began when Robert Hooke in 1665 discovered tiny compartments in a thin
slide of cork using his compound microscope. He called these compartments cells.
This forms the basis of the cell theory of biology. The cell theory states that:
1. All organism are composed of cells.
2. The cell is the unit of function of all living things; and
3. Cells arise by division of pre-existing cells and they can be cultured to produce more cells in two ways: outside
the organism or cell (in vito) or inside the organism or cell (vivo).
 Matthias Schleiden- discover the plant cell.
 Theodore Schwann- discover the animal cell.

TYPES OF CELLS FOUND IN LIVING THINGS


Living things vary in terms of the number of cells they have. Some living things are multicellular or made up of
many cells. Others are single celled or unicellular.
Two types of cells compose living things. Some living things as in the case of bacteria and cyanobacteria have
prokaryotic cells (pro- before; karyon- nucleus). These organisms are called prokaryotes.
 Prokaryotic cells lack distinct nuclei and have few organelles that are not membrane bound.
 In contrast, eukaryotic cells (eu- true; karyon- nucleus) have distinct nuclei and contain several membrane bound
organelles. Animals, plants, fungi and protist have eukaryotic cells and they are called eukaryotes.
However, whether the cells are prokaryotic or eukaryotic, they share some common features. The DNA molecule in both
cells is contained within the chromosomes.

COMPARISON OF PROKARYOTIC CELL AND EUKARYOTIC CELL

However, in the animal cell, the chromosomes are contained within the nucleus that is bound by a double
membrane, and they are numerous organelles that are membrane bound. Whereas in the bacterial cell the chromosomes
are simply contained in a non-membrane bound region called nucleoid and there are few organelles found in the cell. This
tells us that the internal organization of the cells of eukaryotes is more complex than the cells of prokaryotes.

Cells of eukaryotes are complex and highly organized. This is because of the presence of numerous and varied
structures called organelles. Organelles are small membrane-bound structures that perform specific functions that make
life possible. The functions of the organelles are much like the functions of the different organs in multicellular organism.
Organelles exist in various shape and sizes and they are embedded or free floating in the cytoplasm.

The following are the other organelles found in the cells:
1. Ribosome that are found attached to the endoplasmic reticulum or free floating in the cytoplasm. They use the
RNA synthesized by the nucleolus in making specific amino acid. They are referred to as the “protein factories”.
2. Cytoskeleton are the network of fibers that are scattered throughout the entire cytoplasm and interconnecting
some organelles. One type, the microtubules, functions in maintaining the shape of the cells and aids in the
movement of some organelles. The second type are the micro filaments, which provide contractility to some cells
and aid in the changing of shapes of some cells.
3. Microbodies are the very tiny, membrane-bound organelles that are scattered throughout the cytoplasm
together with the free ribosomes. They contain enzymes that are essential in neutralizing toxic materials that are
product of cellular metabolism. Examples are the enzymes peroxisomes that break down hydrogen peroxide and
proteasomes that breakdown damaged or unwanted proteins in the cell.

COMPARISONS OF A PLANT CELL AND ANIMAL CELL


Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic, so they contain membrane-bound organelles like the nucleus and
mitochondria.
However, plant cells and animal cells do not look exactly the same or have all of the same organelles, since they
each have different needs. For example, plant cells contain chloroplasts since they need to perform photosynthesis, but
animal cells do not.
Diagram of a typical animal cell: Diagram of a typical plant cell:

 Both animal and plant cells have mitochondria, but only plant cells have chloroplasts. Plants don’t get their sugar
from eating food, so they need to make sugar from sunlight. This process (photosynthesis) takes place in the
chloroplast. Once the sugar is made, it is then broken down by the mitochondria to make energy for the cell.
Because animals get sugar from the food they eat, they do not need chloroplasts: just mitochondria.
 Both plant and animal cells have vacuoles. A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage
and maintaining the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles.
 Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. In plants, the cell wall surrounds the cell membrane. This
gives the plant cell its unique rectangular shape. Animal cells simply have a cell membrane, but no cell wall.

Cells are the basic structural unit of life. However, shapes of cells can vary widely. Cells
have different shapes because they do different things. Their shapes enable them to perform
the task assigned to them properly and efficiently. There are more than 200 different shapes
and sizes of cell in your body doing many different jobs. Some are the following:

VARIATIONS IN CELL SHAPE
