Q

membrane proteins

A

proteins float within the membrane
function is to help substanves move across the membranes in pores or chanells
if they can be opened or closed they are gated channels
either have active carrier systems or simple gaps

Q

light microscope

A

1500x magnifaction
has to be thin
illuminated from beneath
most specimins will be dead and stained
limited powers of magnifacation and resolution
cheap
small

17
Q

protoplasm

A

cytoplasm and nucleus conbined

18
Q

phospholipid bylayer

A

lipids in the mebrane and polar lipids (phospholipids)
hydrophillic heads pointing out while hydrophobic tails stay inside

19
Q

resolution

A

high res better
so can see two separate structures
wavelength of electrons is shorter than light so higher res + mag

20
Q

setting up a microscrope

A

low power to locate specimin
med power to focus
high power after found

21
Q

meaasuring in a microscope

A

use eyepiece graticule
calibrate with stage micrometre
I
AM
multiple measurements

22
Q

function of the golgi

A

vesicles containing protein from rer fuse with golgi
packages and modifies proteins
-can add prostetic group
packages in vesicles
vesicles fuse with cell membrane

23
Q

why are stains used in microscopes

A

greater contrast
taken up by specific parts of the cell
