CMB EXAM Flashcards
DEFINED AS THE SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO-POINT THAT CAN BE DISTINGUISHED
RESOLUTION
IT IS ALL THE STRUCTURE OF A BIOLOGICAL SPECIMEN THAT ARE AT LEAST 0.1NM IN THEIR SMALLEST DIMENSION.
ULTRASTRUCTURE
ARE WHICH IS LIMITED IN RESOLUTION BY WAVELENGTHS OF VISIBLE LIGHT (400-700 NM)
LIGHT MICROSCOPES
HAVE A MUCH SHORTER WAVELENGTH (2-12 PM) THEREFORE ELECTRON MICROSCOPES HAVE A MUCH HIGHER RESOLUTION.
ELECTRONS
ALLOW US TO SEE THE STRUCTURE OF CELLS.
LIGHT MICROSCOPES
ALLOW US TO SEE THE ULTRASTRUCTURE OF CELLS.
ELECTRON MICROSCOPES
HAS SECRETORY PRODUCTS
GOLGI COMPLEX
SITE FOR MATERIAL OF DIGESTION
LYSOSOME
are the internal membranes of chloroplasts and cyanobacteria, and provide the platform for the light reactions of photosynthesis
THYLAKOID
There are two types of photosynthetic processes:
oxygenic photosynthesis and anoxygenic photosynthesis
INVOLVED MOVEMENT ALONG A CONCENTRATION GRADIENT.
PASSIVE TRANSPORT
INVOLVES MOVEMENT AGAINST A CONCENTRATION GRADIENT.
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
PROVIDES HYDRATION AND SWELLING PRESSURE TO THE TISSUE ENABLING IT TO WITHSTAND COMPRESSIONAL FORCES.
PROTEOGLYCAN
COMPOUND CONTAINING CARBOHYDRATE; CONVALENTLY LINKED TO PROTEIN
GLYCOPROTEIN
ADHESION RECEPTORS FOR EXTRACELLULAR LIGANDS AND TRANSDUCE BIOCHEMICAL SIGNALS INTO THE CELL.
INTEGRIN
