T or F: Mixed bacteria slides should be placed in bleach after use to avoid pathogen transfer.

False

T or F: Several drops of each stain should be added to each blank slide before applying a specimen. After the specimen is added, distilled water should be added to dilute the stain before adding a cover slip.

Just imagine for a moment that NASA's Curiosity Rover that landed on Mars in the summer of 2012 found evidence of life at the cellular level on Mars. Imagine that their initial observations show that this Martian cell has a nucleoid region and also a cell wall, and measures 7 microns in diameter. What can you conclude about this cell? Check all that apply.

It is a prokaryote It shares characteristics with cells on earth

Lysosome

Active Transport

Movement through protein channels by use of energy

Using your knowledge of cell membrane structure and the results you obtained in Lab 3 on cell structure, pretend you are looking at the cell membrane of a beet, Beta vulagaris, under the microscope. What would you expect to see if you stained the beet cell with Methylene blue?

Negatively charged particles such as DNA, cell membranes, and some proteins would stain blue.

Diffusion does not require the cell to expend ATP. Therefore, diffusion is considered a type of _____.

Passive Transport

Which of these best describes how the mixed bacteria slides appeared when viewed on your own microscope at your table in Lab 3? -ink fuzz without much detail -well defined individual bacterial cells of the three different shapes -green bubbles circulating in a current -bricks in a wall
