.
2-What organelle directs protein synthesis?
3-Name one function of a ciliated cell.
4-When a cell is not dividing it is in:
M Phase
Anaphase
Mitosis
Interphase
Telophase
5-A cell in metaphase has chromosomes lined up in the middle of the cell.
True
False
Solution
1). Light microscope can be used to observe the external morphology of plant cells, animal cells and bacteria (under staining). To observe the minute morphological characters, we need scanning electron microscope. By using light microscope we can observe the cytoplasm and nucleus of the cell, but not the other cellular organelles clearly such as ribosomes and mitochondria. Electron microscope is helpful to observe the internal organelles of the cell such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, etc. Viruses cannot be seen with compound microscope, we can see them only through the electron microscope.
Thus, at high magnification we can see nucleus and chloroplasts in case of plant cells.
2). The protein synthesis occurs in ribosomes, it is directed by messenger RNA derived from the DNA.
