What type of microscope is this from?
Light microscope
How do light microscopes work?
They create a magnified image through glass lenses that focus a beam of light onto an object

What type of microscope is this from?
Scanning electron microscope
How does a scanning electron microscope work?
It produces a largely magnified image by using electrons instead of light to form an image

What type of microscope is this from?
Transmission electron microscope
How does a transmission electron microscope work?
An electron source at the top of the microscope emits electrons that travel through a vacuum in the column of the microscope. Electromagnetic lenses are used to focus the electrons into a very thin beam and this is then directed through the specimen of interest.
Images appear flat
- one or more cells comprise all living things
- the cell is the basic unit of life
- new cells arise from existing cells
Unified cell theory
First form of complex life on Earth
Prokaryotic cells

What cell is this?
Prokaryotic
Prokaryotic cell: includes b_____ and a_____-, lack membrane-bound organelles. The DNA of most prokaryotes consists of a single c______
Bacteria, archaea, chromosome
C_____ e____: a plasma membrane covered by a cell wall in a prokaryote
Cell envelope
C______ r____: containing a genome (double stranded DNA), ribosomes, and proteins
Cytoplasmic region
Fl______: structure that aids in locomotion of bacteria
Flagella
Fi____: projection on the surface of bacteria involved in aiding bacteria to adhere to surfaces
Fimbriae
P____: projections on the surface of bacteria involved in conjugation, where plasmids are transferred from bacteria with the structure
Pili
What is the gram stain used for?
To identity bacteria
What color is gram-negative? What does it indicate?
Pink; the cell wall structure is thick of the cell, so it can’t be penetrated by the dye.
