These scientists concluded that all plant and animals consist of cells?

It is advantageous for cells to be small because:

it allows them to maintain an appropriate internal environment necessary for their biochemical system to function

The surface area of plasma membrantes can be increase for absorption of material by fingerlike extensions known as:

Microvilli

What is the resolving power of an electron microscope?

Just less than 1nm

Explain the difference between a transmission and a scanning electron microscope.

The SEM provides infrmation about the shape and external features of the speciman that cannot be obtaine with the TEM

The two features of a microscope which determine how clearly a small object can be viewed

Magnification


Resolving power



The ration of the size of the image to the size of the specimen is:

Magnification

The minimum distance between two points at which they can be distinguished as separate adn distinct, as opposed to a single blurred point describes:

Resolving power or resolution

The magnification ability of a light microspe is about_____________.

1500-2000

This type of microscopy directs light reatys from teh side an only allows scattered ligth to enter the lenses?

Dark-field microscopy

How many wavelengths do fluorescent stains absorb?

1

All organisms can be classified into two basic groups, based on their cells, they are:

Prokaryotic cells


Eukaryotic cells

An organism whose cells lack membranous bound organelles is clasified as:

Prokaryotic cells

Does a eukaryotic cell have plasma membrane?

Yes

List there characteristics of cell membranes:

*Membranes divide the eukaryotic cell into compartments, allowing it to conduct specialized activities within small area of the cytoplasm, concentrate reactants, and organize metobolic reactions


*energy storage an conversion


*serve as work surfaces for certain chemical reactions

Teh waery, jelly-like fluid material outside thenucleus of a cell is call

cytoplasm (protoplasm)

The nucleus is separated from the surrounding organelles within the cell by:

Nuclear envelope

The endoplasmic reticulum produces what?

*Lipid synthesis


*Calcium ion storage


*Detoxifying enzymes


*Polypeptides


*Proteins

What organelle possesses enzymes that digest some proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and nucleic acids and destroys bacteria and otehr foreign material that enters a cell?

Lysosomes

Cellular respration occurs within which organelle:

Mitochondria

What organelles are associated with photosynthesis?

Chloroplasts

Microtubles and microfilaments are all associate with the _____

Cytoskeleton

Cellulose is the primary component of which part of a cell:

Cell walls

Leucoplasts are pastids which are unpigmented (true or fals)

true; leucoplasts are plastids which are unpigmented

Many plant cells have a large central___________

Vacuole

If a toxin, such as a bacterial toxin, destroys ribosomes, what cellular activity will be affected first? (what do ribosomes do?)

*the peptides bonds would be affected first


*They contain the enzyme activities necessary to form peptide bonds, which join amino acids to produce proteins.

Proteins made on ribosomes may be further modified within what organelle:

Endoplasmic reticulum

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum produces what products:

Lipid synthesis


Calcium ion storage


detoxifying enzymes

Chloroplasts tend to be somewhat larger than mitochondria

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. True or false

true; mitochondria is knowns as the powerhouse of the cell

Which organelle plays an important rolein destroying worn out material of the cell?

Lysosomes
