BIL 150 Workshop – Cell || CORRECTLY SOLVED
Magnification correct answers In microscopy, this is how much larger an object appears
compared to its actual size
Resolution correct answers In microscopy, this is the minimum distance between two points
that can still be distinguished as two points
light microscope (LM) correct answers In this type of microscope, visible light is passed
through a specimen and then through glass lenses
electron microscope (EM) correct answers In this type of microscope, a beam of electrons is
passed through a specimen and electromagnets focus and magnify the image
cell fractionation correct answers This is when cells are disrupted and various components
are separated
centrifuge correct answers This instrument is utilized to pellet larger cellular components,
leaving smaller cellular components in the supernatant fraction
Nucleus correct answers This is the chromosome-containing organelle of an eukaryotic cell
central vacuole correct answers This is a membrane-enclosed sac taking up most of the
interior of a plant cell
Chloroplast correct answers This is an organelle found in plants that absorbs sunlight and
uses it to drive synthesis of organic compounds
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) correct answers This is an extensive membranous network in
eukaryotic cells that is composed of ribosome-studded and ribosome-free regions
Mitochondrion correct answers This organelle serves as the site of cellular respiration
Lysosome correct answers This organelle is essentially a membrane-enclosed bag of
hydrolytic enzymes
Golgi apparatus correct answers This organelle consists of stacks of flat membranous sacs
that modify, store, and route products of the endoplasmic reticulum
Peroxisomes correct answers This organelle contains enzymes that transfer hydrogen from
various substrates to oxygen, producing and then degrading hydrogen peroxide
Chromatin correct answers This is how DNA exists when the cell is not dividing. It is made
up of DNA plus proteins
Microtubules correct answers These are used as guide tubes for movement of materials, for
separation of chromosomes during cell division, and for maintaining the shape of cells by
assuming a compression-resisting role
