2.1.1 Cell Structure Flashcards
how is a microscope slide prepared for light microscopy?
what is the range of mag for transmission electron microscope?
what is the range of mag for scanning electron microscope?
what is the range of mag for a light microscope?
why is the slide stained?
to identify diff cellular components and cell types
what is the formula for mag?
mag = size of image/size of real object
what is the resolution that can be achieved by a light microscope, transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscope?
what are the components eukaryotic cells?
nucleus
nucleolus
nuclear envelope
rough + smooth endoplasmic reticulum
golgi apparatus
ribosomes
mitochondria
lysosomes
chloroplast
plasma membrane
centrioles
cell wall
flagella
cilia
what are the functions of the components eukaryotic cells?
what organelles are involved in the production and secretion of proteins?
why is the cytoskeleton important?
to provide mechanical strength to cells, aid transport within cells and enable cell movement.
what are the similarities/differences in structure between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
