5. Describe how light microscopes are used to magnify objects:
When light reflects off of an object being viewed under the microscope and passes through the lens, it bends towards the eye. This makes the object look bigger than it actually is.
What are limitations of using a light microscope?
Limitation: Low Resolution. Because optical microscopes use normal white light, the limit of their resolution is 200 nanometres. This means that objects smaller than this cannot be properly viewed by an optical microscope.
6.What is the advantage of using electron microscopes?
Advantages would be of course magnification and higher resolution
as electrons rather than light waves are used, it can be used to analyze structures which cannot otherwise be seen. The resolution of electron microscopy images is in the range of up to 0.2 nm, which is 1000x more detailed than light microscopy.
7.Contrast TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPES (TEM)with SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPES(SEM):
The main difference between SEM and TEM is that SEM creates an image by detecting reflected or knocked-off electrons, while TEM uses transmitted electrons (electrons that are passing through the sample) to create an image.
8. Answer:
All cells share four common components: plasma membrane, cytoplasm, DNA, and ribosomes.
9. What is the defining characteristic of a prokaryotic cells?
The defining characteristic of prokaryotes is that they lack a membrane-enclosed nucleus. The single chromosome, usually circular, is tightly wound and compact. The region of the cytoplasm containing the chromosome is called the nucleoid.
10.What is the defining characteristic of a eukaryotic cell?
Eukaryotic cells are defined by the presence of a nucleus surrounded by a complex nuclear membrane.
