Cells And Microscopy Flashcards
Only plant cells have…
Chloroplast
Cell wall
Permanent vacuole
Magnification equation
Image size/ actual size
Always write answer in micrometers
Magnification
Number of the sizes larger and image is than its real size
Resolution
The ability to distinguish between 2 objects very close together
(Higher resolution= greater detail)
TEM
Beam of elections pass through
2D pic created
Specimens must be dehydrated and stained
SEM
scans surface and creates 3D image
Must be dehydrated and stained
Cell junctions
On edges of cell
Allows transport between cells, regulates fluids, fastens cells together, communication channels
Mitochondria
Site of respiration
Glogi apparatus
Sorts molecules for transport, created glycoproteins to make proteins active
Lysosomes
Responsible for breakdown and digestion of unwanted structures
Smooth ER
makes lipids and stores ions and solutions
Rough ER
Sorts proteins
Ribosomes
Site of protein synthesis
Plasmodesmata
Allows movement and passage between cells and communication
Features of prokaryotes
Unicellular Smaller than animal cells Lack of a membrane bound organs Lack of nucleus- circular ring of DNA 70s ribosomes Flagellum
