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.
