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.

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.

- 1. 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_forwardYou were interested to see a human cell under the microscope, so you went to the lab to look for a dye to stain human cells you looked for a stain called .... e... ..... Answer:arrow_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

- Pick the best form of microscopy to use in each situation, each answer used only once: You want to figure out if a bacterium can ✓ [Choose ] swim in a liquid medium You want to visualize the repeating crystalline structure of the S-layer You want to identify the basic cell wall structure of an unknown bacterium You want to watch proteins of the divisome to see how they change their location in dividing cells You want to visualize a single membrane protein complex on the surface of a cell Atomic Force Microscopy Phase-contrast microscopy Light microscopy (with staining) Fluorescence microscopy Electron microscopy [Choose] [Choose] [Choose ]arrow_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
- 5) Using FRAP (Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching), you can measure the diffusion rate of membrane proteins. You attach a fluorescent marker to your protein of interest, bleach a small region of the cell membrane with an intense laser light, and determine the time it takes for the bleached spot to recover fluorescent signal (see figure below). (a) (b) Bleach Laser bleaching of fluorescent marker Fluorescence intensity recovery Recovery Time How would the recovery time of your protein change if the membrane contained a higher concentration of unsaturated fatty acids? Why? How would the recovery time of your protein change if you conducted the experiment at a lower temperature? Why? How would the recovery time of your protein change if it were anchored to the membrane skeleton? Why?arrow_forwardWhat are the different difficulties faced in microscopy?arrow_forwardRecall the locations and functions of simple squamous epithelium and stratified squamous epithelium. Explain why it does not make sense to have simple squamous epithelium in the place of stratified squamous epithelium, and vice versa:arrow_forward
