Cutting them won't cause a 3-D structure to appear. The electron microscope will itself display a 2-D structure. (The teacher never told us this. Get your facts straight :p)
if you cut a football in two halves, only then you can see what is inside it, right? the same way, how can you even look inside a cell when its memberane is covering it?

well, she did :cool:

May/June 2014- Paper-21.
Q3 (e) Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is a cancer of B-lymphocytes. It is very rare in adults but more common in children. A study in 2009 found that exposure to tobacco smoke in the home may put the children at risk of developing ALL.
Suggest how smoking by adults in the home may put their children at risk of cancers, such as ALL. [3]

This is definitely related to passive smoking. But how does leukaemia develop?

Leukemia is also blood cancer and it develops from the unlimited cell division I mean more than limits so it starts to develop cells which are against the identity and these cells are called cancer cell.. This thing occurs in blood cells which leads to blood cancer :)

Umm, of course leukemia is blood cancer.
So, the B-cells begin to divide uncontrollably?

if you see the left most Pollen Grain, it measures 5 divisions b4, and 15 divisions of eye piece graticule after growth.
that means it has grown 10 divisions in 4 hours.

then, from the scale in the upper diagram, we know:
50 divisions of eye piece graticule = 0.1 mm
that makes:
10 * 5 divisions = 0.1 mm
10 divisions = 0.1/5 mm
10 divisions = 0.02 mm

this tells that pollen grains grow 0.02 mm in 4 hours (or simply 0.02 mm / 4h)
we convert mm into micrometer 0.02 mm = 0.02 * 1000 micrometers (=20)

rate = 20 micrometers / 4 h = 5 micrometers / h. (answer = A)

ok thanks alot for the help

50 divisions of eye piece graticule = 0.1 mm

rate = 20 micrometers / 4 h = 5 micrometers / h. (answer = A)

this is misleading! :eek:
this is how we do it :

2 eye piece graticule (EPG) scale= 100 division on stage micrometer
100 div on stage = 2 EPG scale
on fig 1 :
5 div on stage= (2/100) * 5
=0.1 EPG = 0.01 mm = 10micrometer

on fig 2 :
15 div on stage = (2/100) *15
= 0.3 EPG scale =0.03 mm = 30 micrometer

increase in size (growth) = 30 micrometer - 10 micrometer = 20 micrometer

rate of growth = 20/4 = 5 micrometer per hour <---------

u could work out 10 div for growth directly like :

10 div on stage = (2/100)*10 =0.2 EPG scale = 0.02 mm= 20 micrometer
then rate= 20/4 = 5micrometer per hour

I think your method follows the book examples! So this method is correct

i highlighted his mistakes in red in my quote.
thts how ive learnt it.
theres worlds difference in stage n eye piece.
if it was paper 2 where u shld show workings....cambridge would deduct marks! :eek:
Yeah! You're correct but rookayya you showed the mistakes are incorrect coz he used those words are correct on their places.
