Light and Microscopes
This large component makes big focusing adjustments - use at low power only!
What is the coarse adjustment?
This organelle, often called the "control center," houses the DNA of a eukaryotic cell.
What is the nucleus?
These proteins act as biological catalysts, accelerating chemical reactions.
What are enzymes?
These infectious proteins are considered the most resistant to disinfectants.
What are Prions?
What a performance! This is Dr. L's rating on RateMyProfessor.
What is 5/5?
This is the process of making an object appear larger then it actually is.
What is magnification?
Along with cell walls, these structures mark a major difference between plant and animal cells.
What are chloroplasts?
This specific area on an enzyme forms a temporary complex with the substrate.
What is the active site?
This organism can survive very high pressures, such as the depths of the ocean.
What is a barophile?
Need some help? This is the room number of Dr. L's office.
What is SW 153?
This value is obtained by multiplying the power of the ocular lens by that of the objective lens.
What is total magnification?
This external coating, which may be slimy or capsular, helps microorganisms stick and survive.
What is the Glycocalyx?
This type of inhibitor binds to the active site, preventing the substrate complex.
What is a competitive inhibitor?
This salt-loving extremophile thrives in hypersaline habitats.
What is a halophile?
How strict! This is the STATE where Dr. L taught at a Christian school where drinking was banned.
What is Missouri?
Too short to see and powerful enough to damage DNA, this type of light's wavelength is from 100-400 nm.
What is Ultraviolet Light (UV)?
Environmental stress induces trauma can last for thousands of years in these structures.
What are endospores?
This control system creates products that regulate their own production rate through acceleration or inhibition.
What is a feedback mechanism?
This type of antimicrobial cleans living material, reducing microbial load on skin.
What is antisepsis?
"In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war"! This is the tabletop game that Dr. L talked about playing at home with friends.
What is Warhammer 40K?
This type of microscopy involves certain molecules emitting one wavelength of light after being struck by a different wavelength.
What is fluorescence microscopy.
Similar in name to a popular video game, this is the name for a grouping of four cells arranged in a square.
What is a tetrad?
This reaction involves one atom handing over an electron to another.
What is a reduction/oxidation reaction (REDOX)?
Ebola and Marburg viruses are at this biosafety level.
What is level 4?
This is the name of Dr. L's YouTube channel, with over 5,000 subscribers. How popular!
What is Immunerd?
