Which of the Following Could Be Used to Study General

Question

Which of the following could be used to study general features of cells?
A) binoculars
B) scanning electron microscope
C) transmission electron microscope
D) light microscope
E) a magnifying glass

Accepted Answer

A light microscope is the best choice for studying general features of cells. It is a commonly used tool in biology and can magnify up to 1000 times, allowing for the observation of cell shape, size, and structure. The other options are not suitable for studying cells; binoculars are used for distance viewing, scanning electron microscopes are used to visualize surfaces at high magnification, and transmission electron microscopes are used to visualize the internal parts of cells. A magnifying glass has limited magnification and is not suitable for detailed studies of cells.
