Chpt 1.1-1.2 Bio Flashcards
Other microscope
- electron microscope
- transmission electron mic (TEM)
- scanning electron mic (SEM)
- scanning tunnelling mic (STM)
- Atomic force mic (AFM)
- Pictures: electron micrograph
Calculating total microscope magnification
(Ocular) x (Objective lens)
3 features of a compound microscope
- Magnification or magnifying power
- calculation - Resolution or resolving power
- to see in clear detail - Contrast
- Methylene blue and iodine is used to improve contrast
Biology
The study of living beings Anna life process
All living things are made up of one or more cells
Cells
- Are the basic unit of the building blocks of life
- each cell is made up of smaller compound called organelles
Organelles
- Is the structure with in a cell works works
- works together to find out the specific function that supports the life of the cell
- specific roles with in a cell depending on the function
- more than one type de les of another for example muscle cells require a lot of energy
Organelle functions (GERMS IW)
- Growth
- Exchange of gases
- response to stimuli
- movement
- see reproduction
- intakes of nutrients
- wast removal
Proper use of the microscope
- carry with both hands: grasp the arm with one hand and place the other under the base for support
- Turn nosepiece and here a click meaning in position
- Put slide on stage
- Coarse adjustment, lower lens down as far without touching the stage
5 eyepiece and adjust light, and diaphragm - Can move coarse knob up
- Move slide so it can be venter
- And more…
Cellular processes
Activities that organelles perform to carry out the cells functions
Two of the most important cellular prodded are
Diffusion and osmosis
Diffusion
Example: perfume and food colouring
And essential cellular process
- The movement of molecules are other particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until they are evenly distributed “equilibrium”
Concentration
The number of molecules of the substance in a given volume
Diffusion occurs
Within a cell
- substance that produces by one organelle make travel to another organelle or the cell membrane by diffusion through the cytoplasm
Across the cell
- breathing and blood picking up oxygen
Outside a cell in body fluids
- nerve cells release chemicals communicate with each other
Osmosis
And essential cellular process the movement of water molecules across a semi permeable, from a high concentration to an area of low concentration
- until equilibrium is reached
3 membranes
Impermeable - no passage
Semi permeable- some molecules are allow through
Permeable - all molecules
Cell cycle
Repeating cycle occurs to cell
The cell
During most of the cell cycle the cell is growing however there’s alignment to how big a seller can become as the cell increases in size relationship of the surface area of the cell membrane to the amount of volume of change the volume of a cell cytoplasm increase after the surface area of the sun if this occurs then the cell can’t absorb substance from the environment or expelled way sufficiently when a cell reaches a certain site it is healthier for the south to undergo division cell of adult humans are generally the same size as the cell in a children only more
The cell cycle stage
Interphase and mitosis
Interphase
- cell is preparing for cell division
- 90% of the cycle
- has three phases: first growth phase, synthesis phase and second growth phase
- Celtics in U-turns grows and carries out of their normal cell functions
Mitosis
- Involve cell division
- genetic information in the nucleus is packaged into two equal portions
- cytoplasm is split into two portions
- use for growth and repair
Has 5 phase: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis
First growth phase
- Period of growth
- cell produce new proteins and organelles
- if cell is healthy and conditions are favorable the cell moves into the next phase
