16
Q

Microscopy

A

A technique to make thinks bigger. Uses light and electron microscopes

17
Q

Microscopes

A

Use the source of their name to illuminate parts of their sample. Lenses enlarge the image

18
Q

Magnification

A

Ratio of objects size under a microscope to reality

19
Q

Why are cells small

A

Because increasing the diameter increases the volume of the cell double. Therefore the balance of membrane to inside is off

20
Q

How cells can over come being big

A

Flattening or folding

21
Q

Plasma membrane

A

Surrounds every cell. A bilayer of proteins and lipids

22
Q

Lipid bilayer

A

A hydrophobic barrier to the passage of water soluble substances

23
Q

Things inside the cells membrane

A

Genes, cytoplasm, organelles

24
Q

Genes

A

Segments of DNA that code for specific proteins. Includes proteins that maintain, duplicate and copy the DNA

25
Cytoplasm
All area between the center and plasma membrane. Communication between the inside and outside of the cell. Contains the organelles, cytosol and cytoskeleton.
26
Organelles
Small organized structures important for cell structure and function
27
Cytosol
Aqueous solution containing ions and organic molecules.
28
Cytoskeleton
Protein based framework that plays a role in cell structure, division and chromosome reproduction.
29
Cytoskeleton energy
It turns light and chemicals into the useful energy ATP
30
Prokaryotic cells
Do not have nucleus', they lack inner membranes but have strong outer ones
31
Nucloid
The middle section in a prokaryotic cell in which the DNA is stored folded tightly. Not separated from the cytoplasm with a membrane
32
Eukaryotes
Have a membrane bound compartment called the nucleus. Have an outer membrane, and all the organelles have membranes, and unique functions
