Document Summary

The cell is the simplest collection of matter that can be alive. All cells are related by their descent from earlier cells. Cells can differ substantially from one another but share common features. In a light microscope (lm), visible light is passed through a specimen and then through glass lenses. Lenses refract (bend) the light so that the image is magnified. Two basic types of electron microscopes (ems) are used to study subcellular structures. Scanning electron microscopes (sems) focus a beam of electrons onto the surface of a specimen, providing images that look 3-d. Transmission electron microscopes (tems) focus a beam of electrons through a specimen. Tems are used mainly to study the internal structure of cells. Figure 6. 4 cell fractionation takes cells apart and separates the major organelles from one another. Concept 6. 2: eukaryotic cells have internal membranes that compartmentalize their functions.
