a microscope that uses a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination
X-rayCrystallography
X rays with wavelengths the size of the space between atoms, directed though crystal of substance being examined creating a pattern that a computer reads and creates a model of substance.
Nucleus
Stores the cell's DNA for replication
Cell Membrane
allows important molecules to pass in and out of the cell while preventing unwanted molecules from entering the cell
vacuole
Stores nutrients, breaks down waste, helps cell grow
chloroplast
use energy from the sun to convert co2 and water into sugar
give plants their green colour
Mitochondia
contain their own DNA
responsible for generating energy for the cell using sugar and oxgen
Lysosome
proteins are transported to the lysosome to be degraded
ribosome
found in cytoplasm
particle consisting of RNA and protein
endoplasmic reticulum
Make up about half of the cell membrane
preforms chemical reactions and stores important enzymes. Also packs proteins and fats to be sent to the Golgi apparatus
Golgi apparatus
responsible for tagging protein for propper delivery within the cell
cytoskeleton
Cytoskeleton gives the cell its shape and helps organize during cell division
Acts as the cell's highway for the transport of cargo via motor proteins
micrometer
a unit of measure 0.001 the size of a mm
Cell Wall
Tough outer shell of cell, provides support
Only Plant cell
Cell Organelles
Imaging technologies
Light microscope
can view objects as small as 200nm
Uses light
Cell tagging
follows individual molecules in a cell
a method of this involves adding a coloured or fluorescent chemical to the cell which binds to certain function groups highlighting specific areas of the cell
