B1.1 Flashcards
what is eukaryotic cell
contains genetic material in a nucleus, complex, relatively large(10 to 100 micrometers), plant and animal cells, always has nucleus cytoplasm cell membrane mitochondrion.
what is prokaryotic cell
no nucleus(genetic material floats in cytoplasm), simple, relatively small(1 to 10 micrometers) bactreium
what is in an animal cell
nucleus, cell membrane, mitochondrion, cytoplasm
what is in a plant cell
chloroplast, vacuole, cytoplasm, cell wall, nucleus cell membrane, mitochondrion
what are the smallest living organism
bacteria
what type of structure is bacteria
unicellular
what is in a bacterial cell
slime capsule, pili, cytoplasm, genetic material, cell wall, cell membrane, flagella, plasmids
what is the order of size out of dna gene nucelotide chromosome and genome
(smallest)
nucleotide
dna
gene
chromosome
genome
(largest)
how does a light microscope work
it passes light through an object placed on a slide on a stage then through objective and eyepiece lens.
how do you solve a cell being colourless
use a stain
what is the formula for total magnification
(eyepiece lens magnification) x (objective lens magnification)
how do you use a microscope(light)
1) move stage to lowest position
2)select the objective lens with lowest magnification
3)place the slide(with cells on it) on the stage
4)raise stage to highest position(dont touch slide to lens)
5)lower stage slowly using course focus knob until you see the object(normally blurry)
6)turn fine focus knob slowly until object is clear
7) to see cells in more detail, switch to higher magnification objective lens without moving stage. Use fine focus knob to bring object into clear focus again.
what are the things of a light microscope
1.cheap,
2.small/portable
3.sample prep is simple
4.natural colour seen
5.specimens living or dead
6.resolutions up to 0.2 micrometres
what are the qualities of an electron microscope
1.expensive
2.large/difficult to move
3.sample prep is complex
4. black/white image shown
5.specimens dead
6.resolution up to 0.1 nanometres
what does a transmission electron microscope do
produce more magnified images/ beam of electrons pass through sample
