Document Summary
Midterm: saturday march 5th, 2:00-3:30pm (eukaryotic) cells contain a large number of parts: compartments, components. Membrane bound structures dedicated to a particular function. Can we actually look inside living cells: yes, we can. Fluorescent proteins from several marine organisms have made it possible to look inside living cells. If i wish to see green fluorescence, then what light (colour) should i use for illuminating (exciting) my sample: red (570nm, yellow (538 nm, dark green (510nm, blue (488nm) What is an organelle: a membrane bound compartment with a characteristic content and a specific function. What is a compartment: a separate section or part of something, an area in which something can be considered in isolation from other things. What does a compartment achieve: compartmentalizes: divides a whole into separate parts or sections, sequesters: keeps contents from mixing with others. How is a compartment formed: the boundary, the contents.
