BIOD 171 MODULE 3 EXAM with Complete Solutions (Graded A+) A nanometer is defined as: - CORRECT ANSWER 10 -9 or one -billionth of a meter True or False: A nanometer is longer than a micrometer - CORRECT ANSWER False A nanometer is 1000x smaller than a micrometer Resolution and contrast are two critical fac tors that influence your ability to see an object. Explain each. - CORRECT ANSWER Resolution refers to the distance between two objects at which the objects can still be seen as separate. Poor or low resolution means two or more objects may appear as one. Contrast on the other hand is the difference in light absorbance between two objects. Poor contrast gives a high background and makes the visualization of multiple objects difficult. For instance, trying to identify 2 dark colored objects at night (low li ght = low contrast) versus the same 2 objects in the middle of a sunny afternoon (bright light against 2 dark objects = high contrast). Assuming a fixed ocular, identify the part of the microscope you would adjust to enhance the magnification of a sample. - CORRECT ANSWER Objective Only the oculars (eyepiece) and the objectives contribute to the magnification of the sample. Since the eyepiece is fixed, only the objectives could be altered. Assuming a constant (non -adjustable) light source power, identify the part of the microscope you would adjust to limit the amount of light entering the microscope. - CORRECT ANSWER Iris diaphragm What is the total magnification on (relative to your eye) of a sample imaged with a 60x objective and a 10x eyepiece? Show y our math. - CORRECT ANSWER 60x objective x 10x ocular = 600x magnification True or False: Staining is often required to image a cell that is adherent and flat (thin). - CORRECT ANSWER True Adherent, flat and unstained cells are almost invisible due to the limits on both resolution and contrast. Therefore, cell staining is often required to adequately image the sample. True or False: A cell that is adherent, flat (thin), and unstained is eas ily identified using bright field microscopy - CORRECT ANSWER False: Adherent, flat cells are almost invisible due to the limits on both resolution and contrast Which of the following could be seen clearly by the unaided eye? Select all that apply. A. Ba cteria with diameter of 24 μm B. Protozoa with diameter of 150 μm C. Virus with a diameter of 0.2 μm D. Skin cell with diameter of 1500 μm - CORRECT ANSWER B. Protozoa with diameter of 150 μm D. Skin cell with diameter of 1500 μm The unaided eye can, on a verage, clearly resolve objects > 100 μm 2. Which of the following could NOT be seen clearly by the unaided eye? Select all that apply. A. Bacteria with diameter of 24 μm B. Protozoa with diameter of 150 μm C. Virus with a diameter of 0.2 μm D. Skin cell with diameter of 1500 μm - CORRECT ANSWER A. Bacteria with diameter of 24 μm C. Virus with a diameter of 0.2 μm The unaided eye can, on average, clearly resolve objects > 100 μm 1. Label the following unmarked microscope components (numbered arrows) by matching it with the components provided (letters). - CORRECT ANSWER 1F - eyepiece 2D- neck 3B- fine adjustment knob 4G- objective 5A- stage 6H- base This type of microscope is best suited for visualizing GFP, RFP, and YFP proteins. - CORRECT ANSWER Fluorescence This type of microscope utilizes ultraviolet (UV) light to illuminate stained objects. - CORRECT ANSWER Fluorescence This type of microscope uses a specialized condenser an d objective to amplify the slight differences between cells and background. - CORRECT ANSWER Phase -contrast
