2.1.1h Photomicrograph images

Question 1

What is a photomicrograph

Answer 1

A photo or digital image taken through a microscope to show a magnified image of a specimen

Question 2

Cell function inferred from a relative abundance of mitochondria in cells

Answer 2

Cells w many mitochondria typically undertake energy-consuming processes (eg. neurons, muscle cells)

Question 3

Cell function inferred from a relative abundance of ER in cells

Answer 3

Cells w extensive ER networks undertake secretory activities (eg. plasma cells, exocrine gland cells)

Question 4

Cell function inferred from a relative abundance of lysosomes in cells

Answer 4

Cells rich in lysosomes tend to undertake digestive process (eg. phagocytes)

Question 5

Cell function inferred from a relative abundance of chloroplasts in cells

Answer 5

Cells w chloroplasts undergo photosynthesis (eg. plant leaf tissue but not root tissue)
