Q

Nucleus

A

1) controls activity of the cell
2) contains genetic material arranged as chromosomes
3) determines the cells appearance and function
4) contains instructioms to make new cells/ organisms

Q

Describe how to observe cells through a microscope

A

Move to lowest position
Select lowest objective lens magnification
Place slide on stage
Raise to highest position
Lower stage w coarse focus until u see substance
Turn fine focus until substance is clear
To see more detail switch to a higher objective lens

17
Q

Magnification formula

A

Eyepiece lens magnification x objective lens magnification

18
Q

Iodine

A

Plant cells nuclei

19
Q

Methylene blue

A

Animal cells nuclei

20
Q

Crystal violet

A

Bacteria cell walls

21
Q

Why stain

A

See substance more clearly, otherwise cell is colourless

22
Q

Resolution

A

Smallest distance between two points that can be seen as separate entities

23
Q

Describe a tem microscope

A

Transmission electron microscope
Most magnified images
Beam of electrons pass through thin sample
Beam = focused to make an image

24
Q

Describe a sem microscope

A

Scanning electron microscope
Make 3d image
Beam of electrons go across the surface if sample
The reflected electrons are collected to make an image

25
Q

Light microscopes are..

A
Cheap 
Easy to operate 
Simple to prepare sample
Portable
Natural colour is present if no stain
Specimens can be living or dead
26
Q

Electron microscopes are..

A
Expensive
Large and difficult to move
Sample prep is hard
Black and white, but can be coloured falsely 
Specimens are dead
