Question

Use the information below to answer questions 3, 4, and 5. Terry and James are partners in a mystery lab. The boys have a compound light microscope and several unlabeled slides. Their task is to find out everything they can about the samples on the slides. Terry puts a slide on the microscope stage and focuses the lenses on the sample. He can see that the sample is made up of tiny cells. 3. Even without knowing anything else about the cells he sees, what can Terry reasonably conclude about them?

Answer 1

Answer:

Under a low power microscope, the cell membrane is observed as a thin line, while the cytoplasm is completely stained. The cell organelles are seen as tiny dots throughout the cytoplasm, whereas the nucleus is seen as a thick drop. In most plant cells, the organelles that are visible under a compound light microscope are the cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, central vacuole, and nucleus. Some plant cell organelles are too small to be seen with a compound light microscope
