Q

How do enzymes work?

A

They speed up reactions via the active site, which is complementary to the substrate. If it doesn’t fit ln , then reaction won’t be catalysed.

Which make them very specific which reactions they speed up

Q

How do light microscopes work?

A

Light reflects onto mirror,
-then up through the object
-then passed through objective lens and eyepiece lens to our eyes
(Process spreads out light rays for image to be seen larger)

Q

What is magnification and resolution?

A

MagnificTion: How many times larger the Image is than the Object.

Resolution: Shortest distance between two points on an object, that can still be distinguished as two separate entities(how detail Image is)
