Inside the Cell Flashcards
visible light passing through a specimen through glass lens = magnified image
light microscope
Quality of image depend on
magnification resolution contrast
ratio of an objects image size to its real size
magnification
measure of the clarity of the image or the minimum distance between two points
resolution
visible differences in parts of the sample
contrast
focus a beam of electrons onto the surface of a specimen: 3d image
Scanning electron microscope
focus a beam of electron through a specimen : internal
Transmission electron microscope
breaking cells and separating major organelles
cell fractionation
What help corrlolate cell function and structure
biochemistry and cytology
Basic features of all cells
- plasma membrane
- semifluid substance (cytosol)
3.chromosomes - Ribosomes
location of dna of prokaryotic bacteria and archaea
in nucleoid not membrane bound, plasmids common
location of dna in eukaryotes
inside nuclues membrane bound, plasmids rare
internal membranes of bacteria and archaea
extensive internal membranes only in photosynthetic species, limit in organelles
internal membranes and organelles in eukaryotes
large number of organelles and many types
cytoskeleton of bacteria and archaea
limited in extent
cytoskeleton in eukaryotes
extensive throughout volume of cell
overall size of bacteria and archaea
smaller than eukaryotes
overall size of eukaryotes
bigger than prokaryotes
inside the nucleus is the
chromatin and nucleolus
has dna and proteins, and is what composes chromosomes
chromatin
ribosomal rna (rrna) synthesis & has no membrane
nucelolus
function as doors into and out of the nucleus
nuclear pores
