Q

what is the use of staining in light microscopy

A

Stains such as acetic orcein enhance the contrast in the microscopic image so they are more easier to see.

Q

the difference between magnification and resolution

A

Magnification is the ability to make small objects seem larger, such as making a microscopic organism visible. Resolution is the ability to distinguish two objects from each other.

Q

Nucleus function and structure

A

surrounded by a double membrane called the envelope containing pores which enable molecules to enter and leave the nucleus. The nucleus also contains chromatin and a nucleolus which is the site of ribosome production

Q

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) structure and function

A

A series of flattened sacs enclosed by a membrane with ribosomes on the surface. RER folds and processes proteins made on the ribosomes.

Q

Nuclear envelope structure and function

A

Separates the contents of the nucleus from the cytoplasm and provides the structural framework of the nucleus.

Q

Golgi apparatus structure and function

A

A series of fluid filled, flattened & curved sacs with vesicles surrounding the edges. Golgi apparatus processes and packages proteins and lipids. It also produces lysosomes.

Q

Ribosomes structure and function

A

Composed of two sub units and are the site of protein production

17
Q

Mitochondria structure and function

A

Oval shaped, bound by a double membrane called the envelope. The inner membrane is folded to form projections called cristae with matrix on the inside containing all the enzymes needed for respiration.

18
Q

Lysosomes structure and function

A

A vesicle containing digestive enzymes bound by a single membrane

19
Q

Chloroplasts structure and function

A

Contains chlorophyll which functions by trapping the solar energy and is used for the synthesis of food in all green plants.

20
Q

Plasma membrane / Cell surface membrane structure and function

A

Separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment. The cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer that is semipermeable. The cell membrane regulates the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell.

21
Q

Centrioles structure and function

A

Hollow cylinders containing a ring of microtubules arranged at right angles to each other. Centrioles are involved in cell division.

22
Q

Cell wall structure and function

A

Help maintain cell shape by providing structural support.

23
Q

Flagella structure and function

A

Involved in the locomotion of the cell.Helps to propel a cell through the liquid.

24
Q

Cilia structure and function

A

To move a cell or group of cells or to help transport fluid or materials past them.

25
photomicrographs of cellular components in a range of eukaryotic cells
26
the interrelationship between the organelles involved in the production and secretion of proteins
27
Importance of cytoskeleton
Provides mechanical strength to cells, aiding transport within cells and enabling cell movement.
28
the differences in the structure and ultrastructure of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Eukaryotic cells have mitochondria and reticulum which prokaryotic cells do not have
29
the similarities in the structure and ultrastructure of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Both have ribosomes and cell surface membranes.
