Virus, Cells, Microscopes test 3 Flashcards
Most familiar type of microscope
Light mircoscope
where to grip microscope when carrying it
the arm
what supports the specimen
the stage
why does the stage have a hole in the center
so light can pass through
how to control how light goes through the specimen
diaphram
range of a diaphram
1-5
what is slide held down by
stage clips
what are the light sources for a light microscope
bulb or a mirror
what should never be used as a light source. Why
sunlight because it will damage your eyes
where does light go after passing through the specimen
objective lens
what are the objective lens magnifications
4x, 10x, 40x
what does the body tube do
leads light and image from objective lens to the ocualr lense
what is the magnification of the eyepiece
10x
what is the total magnification
eyepiece times the objective lense
what do you use to switch the objective lense
nose piece
what is the coarse adjustment knob
largest knob
why shouldnt you use the coarse ajustment knob oh high
it will crack and ruin your slide
why is the fine ajustment knob used for
minute focusing
which knob should be used first
the coarse ajustment knob (on low)
which magnification should you start on
low, because its easier to focus
what supports everything
the base
what covers the slide
the coverslip
what is dry mount presentation
not putting a sample drop of water on the slide
how does moving the slide react on the microscope
it goes in the opposite direction
what is depth perception
what comes to focus first is on the top
how many micrometers are in a milimeter
1000
how do you calculate the diameter of a cell
field of view divided by number of cells
why does a specimen must be thing for a light microscope
so light can pass through it
what is the natural color of a cheek cell
clear
what does iodine do
make the chloroplast, cell wall, and vacuoles more visible in plant cells
what does salt solution do the plant cells
shrink the cell membrane
what is the cell theory
all living things are made of cells
cell is a basic unit of life
all cells are made of pre existing cells
what are prokaryotes
single celled organisms with no nucleus, or speicalized organanelles. They are bacteria that havea cell membrane, dna, and ribosomes
what is in some prokaryotes
capsule and cell wall
what is a capsule
layer of carbohydrates
what are eukaryotes
organism with cells with a true nucleus with membrane bourne organelles
what are examples of eukaryotes
anything that isnt a prokaryote
where is cilia found
animal cells (eukaryotes)
what does cilia do
detect movement
may SOME eukaryotes have fagella
yes
what is an animal cell
an eukaryotic cell that makes tissue in animals. dosent have a central vacuole, chloroplast or a cell wall
what is unique to animal cells
centrioles
what do centrioes do
cell division in animal cells
what is mitosis
formation of spindle fibers that spearate the chromomsomes during cell division
why do animal cells have a more diverse look
they dont have a cell wall
what is a plant cell
type of eukaryotic cell within plants that contail chorophyll
what organelles arent found in plant cells
centrioles
what do ribosomes do
make proteins
what does cytoplasm do
contains all organelles and cell parts
what does the cell membrrane do
regulates ehat enters and exits the cell
what do the chromosomes do
contain genentic information and located inside nucleus
what are chromosomes made of
DNA and proteins
what does the cell wall do
protect cells and give them stiffness
what are cell walls made of
cellulose
what is an eukaryotic nucleus
contains the cell genetic material
