Cell structure Flashcards
Why do some believe mitochondria were bacterium?
- have their own ribosomes
- are a similiar size
Why do some believe chloroplasts were bacterium?
have their own plasmid of DNA.
Cell division in yeast
budding
Energy process in bacterium
chemiosmosis
like cillia just on bacterium?
pilli
What is microfilament made from?
actin
How do organelles move around cytoskeleton?
motor proteins
Explain why cells need to be stained… (2)
- cells are often transparent and therefore difficult to see under a light microscope.
- different organells will absorb different volumes of pigment, creating contrast within a cell that can easily be seen under a light microscope.
Maximum resolution and madnification of light microscope
200nm
x2,000
Maximum resolution and magnification of SEM
5 nm
x 500,000
Magnification and resolution of TEM
x 5,000,000
0.5 nm
What does a laser scanning confocal microscope do?
It detects the florescent dye in a specimen.
What are mucrofilaments made out of?
actin
Mitochondrian are present in..
plants and animals but not prokaryotes.
how do prokaryotes store genetic info?
single circular loop of DNA, plasmids, capsid
how to calibrate eyepiece graticule
stage micrometre increments ÷ EPG increments
Then multiply by 10 cause each stage micrometre increment is 10 micrometres.
