Figures 4 and 5 are images of osteoblasts obtained with Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) which allows much higher magnification than light microscopy. TEM allows us to see organelles other than the nucleus. In the cytoplasm of these osteoblasts, there appear to be two different types of organelles based on shape differences. Point out 2 different types/shapes of organelles on the figures 4 and 5. Based on their shapes and on the specific function of this type of cell, identify the organelles of figures 4 and 5.

Figures 4 and 5 are images of osteoblasts obtained with Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) which allows much higher magnification than light microscopy. TEM allows us to see organelles other than the nucleus. In the cytoplasm of these osteoblasts, there appear to be two different types of organelles based on shape differences.
Point out 2 different types/shapes of organelles on the figures 4 and 5. Based on their shapes and on the specific function of this type of cell, identify the organelles of figures 4 and 5.

Transcribed Image Text:### Description of the Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) Images of Osteoblasts
The image displays two different transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images highlighting osteoblasts, with colors added for clarity.
#### First Image (Top)
- **Nuclei:** Colored in purple.
- **Cytoplasm:** Appears pink.
- **Bone Matrix:** Shown in yellow/gold.
This colored visualization aids in distinguishing the cellular structures within the osteoblasts.
#### Second Image (Bottom)
- **Nuclei:** Presented in green.
- **Cytoplasm:** Either teal or purple.
- **Bone Matrix:** Again depicted in yellow/gold.
The variation in cytoplasm color helps to demonstrate the diversity in cell structure visualization.
#### Figures 4 and 5
These are two different TEM images of osteoblasts. The color coding in the images assists in highlighting specific cellular components and structures for educational and scientific understanding.
