Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: The type of microscope which is used to study the change in form of white blood cells.
Concept introduction: Microscopy is the use of microscope to see an object that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Light microscopy uses the light to view the specimen but, in electron microscopy, a beam of electron is used to view the specimen. With the help of light microscope, it can be possible to view different cell types, bacteria, algae, and
(b)
To determine: The type of microscope which is used to study the surface texture of a hair.
Concept introduction: Microscopy is the use of microscope to see an object that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Light microscopy uses the light to view the specimen but, in electron microscopy, a beam of electron is used to view the specimen. With the help of light microscope, it can be possible to view different cell types, bacteria, algae, and fungi. Scanning electron microscope is used for topographical and compositional study of a sample.

- Which microscopic technique provides sharp pictures of threedimensional structures at high magnification? (a) light microscopy, (b) X-ray microscopy, (c) scanning electron microscopy, (d) transmission electron microscopy.arrow_forward1. Determine the following for positive staining. (a) dye, (b) charge of the chromophore/colored ion, (c) charge of the target cellular structure, (d) applications/target cell structure 2.Determine the following for negative staining. (a) dye, (b) charge of the chromophore/colored ion, (c) charge of the target cellular structure, (d) applications/target cell structurearrow_forward(a) If you were to magnify a cell 10,000-fold (typical of the magnification achievedusing an electron microscope), how big would it appear? Assume you are viewing a“typical” eukaryotic cell with a cellular diameter of 50 μm.(b) If this cell were a muscle cell (myocyte), how many molecules of actin could ithold? Assume the cell is spherical and no other cellular components are present; actinmolecules are spherical, with a diameter of 3.6 nm. (c) If this were a liver cell (hepatocyte) of the same dimensions, how manymitochondria could it hold? Assume the cell is spherical; no other cellular components arepresent; and the mitochondria are spherical, with a diameter of 1.5 μmarrow_forward

(each of the 3 function) (b) tell how do these components help the cell membrane in performing this function? (each of the 3 function). plsssssss help me answer this question, thank you.arrow_forwardTEM Identifying Cell Structures on the (b) (c) (d) (f) (g) (h) (1) (1) familiar with the various structu found in plopt ond animal collearrow_forward
- Which of the following statements about electron microscopy are true? a) Most existing protein structures have been resolved using electron microscopy b) Electron microscopy is not used in structural biology as it can not give as high a resolution as X-ray crystallography and NMR c) The smaller a protein, the easier it is to solve its structure with electron microscopy d) By taking pictures of the same protein frozen in ice thousands of times and then adding them together, you get a high-resolution image of the protein e) The first protein structure with true atomic resolution was solved using electron microscopy last yeararrow_forwardIf the scale in question #1 above is, instead, 1000.0 um long, and if a hypothetical organ- ism's length is equal to the length of the smallest interval on this scale, then how long is the organism in: (a) millimeters (mm)? (b) centimeters (cm)? (c) meters (m)? (d) micrometers (um)?arrow_forward-Mature parent cell Budding- cell 1 μη Test II. Examine the micrograph of the yeast cells. The scale bar under the photo is labeled 1 um. The scale bar works in the same way as a scale on a map, where, for example, 1 inch equals 1 mile. In this case the bar represents one thousandth of a millimeter. Using the scale bar as a basic unit, determine the diameter of the mature parent cell and the new cell. Start by measuring the scale bar and the diameter of each cell. The units you use are irrelevant, but working in millimeters is convenient. Divide each diameter by the length of the scale bar and then multiply by the scale bar's length value to give you the diameter in micrometers.arrow_forward
