With a light microscope one can view the nucleus and endoplasmic reticulum, large vacuoles etc
The resolution of a light microscope is dependent on the wavelength of light that is the main beam of illumination. Light has approximately 0.4 um (UV)- 0.7um (Infrared) wavelength. Organelles smaller than about 0.5 um will be difficult to discern with a light microscope.
With an electron microscope one can view, in addition, even the ribosomes and mitochondria, chromosomes, tubules etc.
An electron microscope can discern very minute details of a cell. This is because its resolution is dependent on the very small wavelength of a beam of electrons which is approximately 0.002 um (about 10,000 times powerful than a light microscope)
Answer:
Knowledge of the relationship between the size (volume) of cells and their surface area helps explain the process of diffusion. Agar blocks and cells with the largest surface area to volume ratio (the smaller cubes) have the highest diffusion rates.
Explanation:
The ER comes in two different morphological forms: smooth ER and rough ER
