Concept explainers
To determine: The organelle that is visible to the upper right in the micrograph.
Introduction: The cell is the basic structural and functional, as well as the biological unit of all living organisms. Cells may differ in shape but every cell share certain structural as well as functional features: cytoplasm, plasma membrane, and DNA. Moreover, cells possess various organelles, mitochondria, nucleus, and endoplasmic reticulum to perform essential functions that are vital for cell growth.
Explanation of Solution
In the given image, the rough endoplasmic reticulum is prominent to the upper right in the micrograph. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a network of tubes and flattened sacs, and it is involved in protein and lipid synthesis. The endoplasmic reticulum is classified into different types, namely rough ER and smooth ER. The rough endoplasmic reticulum usually possesses ribosomes attached to it and thus involved in protein synthesis.

Give the function of each organelle in the animal cell and plant cell.arrow_forwardWhich electron or light microscopy technique would you use for the following? (also explain) For visualizing the fine structure of cellular organelles and cell architecture in the cell interior using very thin cross-sections made in Epon. To obtain sequential images of a macromolecule in order to study its activity in real-time. To obtain an extremely clear three-dimensional image of the nucleus of a single cell.

- Label and define the following termsarrow_forwardCell Graphic Organizer Please complete the following graphic organizers to the best of your ability. • FIRST SQUARE: Put each component's function in the first square. The function is what the component does in the cell. Please be very detailed in your answer and use your book to help you. SECOND SQUARE: In the second square, please put the type of cell that the component is found in. Although you could talk about prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes, it would be more important to talk about plant vs. animal cells. Also, if possible, please describe where in the cell this component is found. THIRD SQUARE: In the third square, please make a sketch of the component. Although we are not all gifted artists, please give this a good attempt. You may want to show where it is in the cell, an inside view of the part, or even a combination of both. • FOURTH SQUARE: Finally, relate the function of the cellular component to something at FHS. Make sure that the connection is clear and well described.arrow_forwardCell Graphic Organizer Please complete the following graphic organizers to the best of your ability. • FIRST SQUARE: Put each component's function in the first square.
