What is a hair-like structure used for movement in a cell?

A hair-like structure used for movement in a cell is called a cilium or a flagellum. Cilia are shorter and numerous, while flagella are longer and usually fewer in number. Both structures help the cell to move and can also function in sensing the environment.


What kind of microscope has the greatest magnification used to study cell structure?

the electron microscope. has 250,000x magnification


Which organelle has a long hairlike structure used for movement?

The organelle with a long hairlike structure used for movement is the flagellum. Flagella are typically found in prokaryotic and some eukaryotic cells, where they help in cell motility by propelling the cell forward.


How is the lysis buffer used in the process of DNA extraction?

The lysis buffer is used in DNA extraction to break down the cell membrane and release the DNA from the cell. It contains chemicals that disrupt the cell structure, allowing the DNA to be isolated and purified for further analysis.


Can i detect bacteria cell structure with an electron microscope?

Yes, electron microscopes can be used to visualize the cell structure of bacteria at a very high resolution. The electron microscope uses a beam of electrons instead of light to magnify the sample, allowing for detailed imaging of bacterial cell components such as cell walls, membranes, and internal structures. This technique is commonly used in microbiology research to study the morphology and ultrastructure of bacterial cells.
