What do chloroplasts look like under a microscope?

1 answer:

I depends, though “small greenish blob” would be a good description. The other answers contain great pictures of plant chloroplasts under a decent quality light microscope. However, plants (and algae) don’t all have the same size of chloroplasts and the chloroplasts can be very hard to see when they are small, not just because of size, be also because they appear less green (small size = less light absorption = less green in color).

If you use fluorescence microscopy, then the chloroplasts glow reddish-orange in color (very cool, especially when you have swimming algae).

Hope I helped

Damaged tissue releases chemicals that activate platelets and stimulate the formation of blood clots. Which of the following pre

Zielflug [23.3K]

Hello! I figured your question was lacking its options so I went online to find them and here they are:

A. Activated platelets release chemicals that inhibit blood clot formation.

B. Activated platelets release signaling molecules that inhibit cell division in damaged tissue.

C. Activated platelets constrict the blood vessels, stopping blood flow.

D. Activated platelets release chemicals that activate more platelets.

Answer:

The correct answer is: D) Activated platelets release chemicals that activate more platelets.

Explanation:

Positive feedback is a mechanism in which a stimulus triggers an intensification of this same stimulus.

When a tissue is damaged, the platelets participate in a process called platelet adhesion that consists of contacting and sticking to the collagen fibers of the connective tissue under the damaged endothelial cells. This platelet adhesion activates the platelets and makes them grow projections to contact and interact with one another, while releasing substances to activate other nearby platelets. The accumulation and the attachment of large numbers of platelets ultimately form a platelet plug.

Select choices that result from hydrogen bonding.

Pepsi [2]

A hydrogen bond is an intermolecular force (IMF) that forms a special type of dipole-dipole attraction when a hydrogen atom bonded to a strongly electronegative atom exists in the vicinity of another electronegative atom with a lone pair of electrons. Intermolecular forces (IMFs) occur between molecules. Other examples include ordinary dipole-dipole interactions and dispersion forces. Hydrogen bonds are are generally stronger than ordinary dipole-dipole and dispersion forces, but weaker than true covalent and ionic bonds.
