Youtube Videos
Key Concepts
-
Eukaryotic cells have complex, membrane-bound organelles.
-
Prokaryotic cells have simpler internal structures.
-
Ultrastructure reveals functions of cell parts.
-
Electron microscopy enables visualization of ultrastructure.
Examples & Applications
Electron Microscopy: Reveals mitochondria's double membrane and cristae.
Chloroplast Imaging: Shows thylakoid stacks in plant cells.
Prokaryotic View: Displays ribosomes and nucleoid region.
