Microscopy

• What is the primary function of aerobic respiration?

  To release energy for the cell
• What are the key components of microscopy?

  • Object: The real object or sample being observed
  • Image: The visual representation seen through the microscope
  • Magnification: The factor by which the image size is larger than the object size
• What does magnification refer to in microscopy?

  It refers to how many times larger the image is than the object
• What is the resolution in microscopy?

  It is the shortest distance between two points on an object that can still be distinguished as separate entities
• What is the equation for magnification in microscopy?

  Magnification = image size / object size
• What is the primary function of respiration in cells?

  To release energy for the cell
• What are the key components of microscopy?

  • Object: The real object or sample being observed
  • Image: The visual representation seen through the microscope
  • Magnification: The factor by which the image size is increased compared to the object
• What does the term 'object' refer to in microscopy?

  The real object or sample that is being observed
• What does the term 'image' refer to in microscopy?


  The image that we see when looking down the microscope
• How is magnification defined in microscopy?

  It is how many times larger the image is than the object
• How does magnification affect the observation of a sample under a microscope?

  Higher magnification allows for a more detailed view of the sample
• What is the conversion factor from micrometres to millimetres?

  1 micrometre (µm) = 0.001 millimetres (mm)
• How many micrometres are in a millimetre?

  1000 micrometres (µm) = 1 millimetre (mm)
• What is the conversion factor from millimetres to metres?

  1 millimetre (mm) = 0.001 metres (m)
• How many millimetres are in a metre?

  1000 millimetres (mm) = 1 metre (m)
• What is the conversion factor from metres to kilometres?

  1 metre (m) = 0.001 kilometres (km)
• How many metres are in a kilometre?

  1000 metres (m) = 1 kilometre (km)
• What is the ascending order of conversion from micrometres to kilometres?

  • Micrometres (µm)
  • Millimetres (mm)
  • Metres (m)
  • Kilometres (km)
