Chapter 4, Problem 7TYU
SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY In studying micrographs of an unusual protist (single-celled eukaryote) that you found in a sample of pond water, you spot an organelle that you can’t recognize. You successfully develop a method for growing this organism in liquid in the laboratory. Describe how you would go about finding out what this organelle is and what it does in the cell. Assume that you would make use of additional microscopy, cell fractionation, and biochemical tests.

Once you know your microscope's diameter of the field of view, you can now calculate the actual size of your specimen. The ACTUAL SIZE of the specimen is the real size of the cell you are looking at. When you look at the cells through the microscope. the cells look very tiny. It is possible to determine the actual size of the cells you are looking at under LP.MP and HP. We will determine the actual size of a cell u I under HP. Step 1- Look at the cells under HP MAG. Step 2- Pick one cell you want to know the size of. Step 3- Imagine that this cell is placed along the left side of the field of view. (see example) Step 4-Estimate how many cels could fit across the field of view.

However, each cell is like a machine. It has many parts and each works in concert with the other. In this post, you will demonstrate an understanding of the functions of organelle and how they work together in cells. Pick one cell organelle, describe its structure and function and then discuss how it works with another cell organelle.
