Question

Which of the following choices correctly matches a tool and its proper application? A. light microscopy to study the internal structure of cilia \nB. transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study the surfaces of preserved cells \nC. scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to study the detailed movements of living cells \nD. transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study the movement of organelles...

Answer 1

The answer is B. Transmission electron microscope is the ideal tool to use to study the surface of preserved cells. The microscope has the ability to see extremely small structures and it can only be used to examine dead or preserved materials. This is because the specimen must be dehydrated before it can be examined. Light microscope is used majorly to examine microbes while scanning electron microscope is used to observe a sample's surface topography and composition.
