cell biology and microscopes

Question 1

how does a light microscope work?

Answer 1

uses light to illuminate objects under view, convex lens manipulates how light enters the eye

Question 2

how does an electron microscope work?

Answer 2

lens replaced by electromagnets that ‘bend’ the electron beam. forms an image as a photo - elctron micrograph

Question 3

radiation source of electron microscope

Answer 3

Electrons

Question 4

radiation source of light microscope

Answer 4

visible light

Question 5

max magnification of electron microscope

Answer 5

approx ×1 000 000

Question 6

max magnification of light microscope

Answer 6

approx ×2 000

Question 7

resolution of electron microscope

Answer 7

approx 0.1nm

Question 8

resolution of light microscope

Answer 8

approx 200nm

Question 9

images seen through electron microscope- colour

Answer 9

black and white

Question 10

images seen through light microscope- colour and why

Answer 10

coloured - colour is a property of light

Question 11

types of electron microscope

Answer 11

TEM and SEM

Question 12

TEM microscope meaning

Answer 12

transmission electron microscope

Question 13

how are images seen through a tem and why?

Answer 13

2D - electron beams pass through thin slices of specimen, analyses inner structures

Question 14

how are images seen through a sem and why?

Answer 14

3D - Specimen coated in gold so electrons bounce off and give outside view

Question 15

what are prokayotes?

Answer 15

single celled organisms, don’t have nuclei or organelles, are much smaller than eukaryotic, and always have cell walls

Question 16

egs of prokaryotes

Answer 16

bacteria and archaea

Question 17

what are eukaryotes?

Answer 17

mostly multi celled organisms like animals and plants, have a nucleus to contain and organelles

Question 18

what happens in anaphase?

Answer 18

away- move to poles of cell

Question 19

formula linking actual size,magnification and image size

Answer 19

i = a × m
