Study Notes
RBCs vs. Yeast
- Red blood cells (RBCs) and yeast are both microscopic organisms, but they have distinct characteristics.
- Yeast can exist in two forms: budding and mycelial.
- Budding yeast cells are oval-shaped.
- Mycelial yeast cells are thread-like structures.
- The shape of a yeast cell can differ from the shape of a red blood cell.
- Yeast is microscopic, making it necessary to view it under a microscope.
