Chapter 4 Microscopes Two important factors in microscopy are: 1) Magnification: an increase in the object’s apparent size compared with its actual size. 2) Resolving Power: the ability of an optical instrument to show two objects are separate. Three types of microscopes: 1) Light Microscope (LM) M: 1000x RP 0‚2 micrometer (small bacterial cell) 2) Electron Microscope (EM) uses a beam of electrons to resolve electrons‚ better resolving powers than light microscope M:100‚000x RP 0

Chapter 16 Notes: The Molecular Basis of Inheritance Overview: Life’s Operating Instructions In 1953‚ James Watson and Francis Crick introduced an elegant double-helical model for the structure of DNA. DNA‚ the substance of inheritance‚ is the most celebrated molecule of our time. Hereditary information is encoded in DNA and reproduced in all cells of the body. This DNA program directs the development of biochemical‚ anatomical‚ physiological‚ and (to some extent) behavioral traits Early in

Extended experimental investigation: effects on membranes of environmental stress Background It is not possible to observe membranes directly‚ so this investigation is an indirect study of the effects of different substances and treatments on living beetroot cells. Beetroot cells have been chosen for this activity because each beetroot cell has a large central vacuole bounded by a membrane (Figure 1). Contained in the vacuole is the red pigment anthocyanin‚ which gives the beetroot its
