Pregunta 7
Pregunta 8
Pregunta
Which statement about the endosymbiont theory is INCORRECT?
Respuesta
-
Mitochondria and plastids as we know them may have evolved from aerobic cells being engulfed by larger anaerobic cells, and this is known as the endosymbiont theory.
-
The endosymbiont theory is supported by the fact that mitochondria and plastids carry some of their own genes within themselves.
-
The endosymbiont theory suggests that organelles with double membranes evolved from bacteria to insert into eukaryotic cells.
Pregunta 9
Pregunta
Cells are limited to their sizes due to the ratio of surface area to volume of the cell. (s.a./V = smaller for smaller cells.) A small ratio means greater efficiency of exchange between environments.
Pregunta 10
Pregunta
[blank_start]Microscopes[blank_end] allow us to see cells. There are three important parameters in microscopy:
- [blank_start]Magnification[blank_end], which is the [blank_start]ratio[blank_end] of the image compared to the actual size
- [blank_start]Resolution[blank_end], which is the [blank_start]clarity[blank_end] of the image ("resolving of two points")
- [blank_start]Contrast[blank_end], the difference between light and dark areas of image
Respuesta
-

Magnification
-
ratio
-

Pregunta 11
Pregunta
Light Microscopy (LM) and Electron Microscopy (EM) are the two types of microscopy used to look at cells.
Pregunta 12
Pregunta
Electron microscopy lets you look at live cells.
Pregunta 13
Pregunta
Light microscopy is the only imaging technique that lets you look at live cells.
Pregunta 14
Pregunta
Select the statements about electron microscopy that are CORRECT.
Respuesta
-
EM uses electrons to "slice" through a very thin cross section of a cell and look at it.
-
Resolution is INVERSELY proportional to wavelength. Therefore as an electron microscopes particles have very low wavelengths, the images produced have very high resolutions.
-
Resolution is PROPORTIONAL to wavelength. Since an electron microscope's particles have long wavelengths of light, they therefore produce high resolution pictures.
Pregunta 15
Pregunta
Electron microscopes come in [blank_start]two[blank_end] varieties. Firstly, [blank_start]scanning electron microscopes[blank_end]. Specimens coated in a thin film of gold are scanned and [blank_start]electrons[blank_end] that bounce back are used to create a 3D image of the specimen's surface. (These images are grey scale, only show us the [blank_start]surface[blank_end] of cells, and must be artificially/digitally coloured.)
Secondly, [blank_start]transmission electron microscopy[blank_end]. This does not [blank_start]reflect[blank_end] electrons, but passes them [blank_start]through[blank_end] the specimen to produce an image of the cell's [blank_start]internal[blank_end] structure. Scattered electrons are collected by electromagnets to form an image. Again, the specimen must be stained with heavy metals.
