Studying For Science Flashcards
Total magnifications
40x, 100x, 400x, 1000x
All magnifications
4x, 10x, 40x, 100x
Field sizes
4000 um, 1600 um, 400um, 160 um
How do you calculate the field size of a specimen
You take the field size and multiply it by how much width of the circle the specimen is taking up
Example 4000um x .75 = 3000 um
How to calculate the magnification of a specimen
You take the width of the specimen (make sure they both have same measurements like um) and divide it by the actual specimen size
What does it mean when it says stem cells are undifferentiated
It means they have not become any particular type of cell and can still become any type of cell.
Every cell has identitical identity so why do different cells go to different tissues
They go to different tissues because different genes are “turned on” in different cell types to send it into different development paths.
What are the three components of the cell theory
All cells come from preexisting cells
Cells are the smallest unit of life
All organisms are made up of one or more cells
What is the prokaryotic part for movement
Flagella
Prokaryotic part for attachment
Pili
Middle structural barrier in prokaryotes
Cell wall
Are where DNA is located in prokaryotes
Nucleoid region
Protein synthesis in prokaryotes
Ribosomes
Inner most permeable membrane in prokaryotes
Cell membrane
Outer most protective barrier in prokaryotes
Capsule
A cell wall made of peptidoglycan
Prokaryotic
Compartmentalized
Eukaryotes
DNA contained in a membrane bound nucleus
Eukaryotes
Contains a capsule
Prokaryotes
First to evolve
Prokaryotes
Contain a cell membrane
Both eukaryotes and prokaryotes
