Question

Measure the length of Cell X using the ruler in Microsoft Word. Assuming the actual length to be 3 um, calculate the magnification. Show your complete solution.

  • Based on Figure 1, what internal organization can be distinguished in cell X? Why?
  • Based in Figure 1, can you see a limiting membrane? Can you deduce its presence? Why or why not?

Figure 2 is an electron micrograph of the same type of bacterium as shown in Figure 1. The picture has been obtained by cutting a very thin section of the bacterial cell along its longitudinal axis.

Measure the total length of the cell, and assuming the actual length to be 2.1 um, calculate the magnification.

  1. With reference with Figure 2, what are the major differences between the inclusions found in Figure 1 and the way they appear in Figure 2?
  2. What other structural features can be resolved?
