CORRECT
◉ How do daughter cells receive hereditary information from their
parent cells according to the cell theory? Answer: Cells pass copies
of their genetic material during cell division.
◉ If a compound light microscope has two lenses that each magnify
an image 20x, what is the total magnification? Answer: 400 x
(calculated as 20 x 20)
◉ What is the maximum magnification limit of a modern compound
light microscope? Answer: About 1000x
◉ Instead of glass lenses, what does a transmission electron
microscope (TEM) use to aim a beam of electrons? Answer: Magnets.
◉ What is the primary advantage of a scanning electron microscope
(SEM) over a transmission electron microscope (TEM)? Answer: The
SEM produces a three-dimensional image of the cell.
, ◉ Which specific type of electron microscope allows for the
magnification of living cells? Answer: The scanning tunneling
electron microscope (STM).
◉ What boundary is common to all cells and controls what enters
and leaves the cell? Answer: The plasma membrane.
◉ Cells that lack a nucleus and other specialized internal structures
are classified as _____. Answer: Prokaryotic cells.
◉ What is the function of the nucleus in a eukaryotic cell? Answer: It
acts as the central organelle containing the cell's genetic material.
◉ Which type of cell is generally larger and contains specialized
structures called organelles? Answer: Eukaryotic cells.
