Chapter 4 Study Questions Flashcards
The study of cells
Cytology
What are the types of microscopic images
- The light microscope (LM):
two-dimensional image
Passes light through a specimen
Uses color-dye stains
2.The electron microscope (EM:)
beam of electrons to “illuminate”
greater magnification than a light microscope
greater ability to see details (resolution)
- Transmission electron microscope (TEM):
Directs electron beam through sections
Produces two-dimensional images
4.Scanning electron microscope (SEM)
Directs an electron beam across the surface
Generates a three-dimensional study
Types of microscopic images that are TWO dimensional
- Light Microscope
2. Transmission electron microscope
Types of microscopic images that are THREE dimensional
Scanning electron microscope
Types of microscopic images that use dyes to visualize structures
Light Microscope
What are 3 main components of a cell
Cell Membrane (Plasma Membrane)
Cytoplasm
Nucleus
The part of the cell that controls material movement in and out
Plasma membrane: Cell membrane
Regulates the movements of most substances in and out of the cell
What material is contained within the nucleus
Genetic material
What is the largest structure in the cell
Nucleus
What is the part of the cell between the cell membrane and nucleus
Cytoplasm
Fluid between the cell
Cytosol: (intracellular fluid)
Fluid within the cells
Intracellular- within cell (cytosol)
Fluid between the cells
Interstitial: extracellular fluid between cells
Fluid outside the cells
Extracellular- outside cells
What type of fluid is blood
Extracellular fluids
What are the components of the cytoplasm
Cytoplasm:
Located: between plasma membrane and the nucleus
Components Includes: cytosol, organelles, and inclusions
What are the components of the cytoplasm
Cytoplasm:
Located: between plasma membrane and the nucleus
Components Includes: cytosol, organelles, and inclusions
Next question explains each component down below!
Cytostol
(intracellular fluid)
Viscous fluid of the cytoplasm
High water content
Contains dissolved molecules and elements
Organelles
Organized structures within cells Unique shape and function Membrane-bound organelles enclosed by a membrane Non-membrane-bound organelles not enclosed within a membrane
Inclusions
Large diverse group of molecules not bound by membrane Storage molecules Generally not permanent pigments, glycogen, triglycerides
What are TWO major types of organelles
Membrane-bound organelles
enclosed by a membrane
Non-membrane-bound organelles
not enclosed within a membrane
What distinguishes the TWO major types of organelles
Organized structures within cells
Unique shape and function
What are the functions of cells
Maintain integrity and shape of cell Obtain nutrients Metabolism Dispose of wastes Cell division
What are the functions of cells
Describe each
Maintain integrity and shape of cell Obtain nutrients Metabolism Dispose of wastes Cell division
