Questions 1–10: Microscopy & Cell Structure
1. Which part of a compound microscope controls the
amount of light reaching the specimen?
A. Ocular lens
B. Stage
C. Iris diaphragm
D. Coarse adjustment knob
Explanation:
The iris diaphragm regulates light intensity. Proper light
control improves contrast and resolution, which is critical
for observing specimens clearly.
,2. What is the total magnification when using a 10x ocular
and 40x objective lens?
A. 40x
B. 100x
C. 400x
D. 1000x
Explanation:
Total magnification = ocular × objective = 10 × 40 = 400x .
3. Which organelle is responsible for ATP production?
A. Nucleus
B. Mitochondria
C. Golgi apparatus
D. Lysosome
Explanation:
,The mitochondria generate ATP through cellular
respiration, making them the “powerhouse” of the cell.
4. What type of cell lacks a nucleus?
A. Eukaryotic
B. Plant
C. Animal
D. Prokaryotic
Explanation:
Prokaryotic cells (like bacteria) lack membrane-bound
organelles, including a nucleus.
5. Which structure provides support and protection in plant
cells?
A. Cell membrane
B. Cytoplasm
C. Cell wall
D. Vacuole
, Explanation:
The cell wall , made of cellulose, provides structural
support and protection.
6. Which organelle modifies and packages proteins?
A. Ribosome
B. Endoplasmic reticulum
C. Golgi apparatus
D. Nucleus
Explanation:
The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages
proteins for transport.
7. What is the main function of ribosomes?
A. DNA storage
B. Lipid synthesis
C. Protein synthesis
