Microscopes and Cells

What is the difference between Prokaryotic Cells and Eukaryotic Cells?

• Eukaryotic Cells are the only cells that bacteria can be

• Prokaryotic Cells are the only cells with DNA

• Eukaryotic Cells are the only cells that enclose their DNA in a nucleus

• Prokaryotic Cells are plant cells

Which of the following microscopes will show you the natural colors of a specimen?

• Light Microscope

• Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)

• Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM)

• Color Microscope

You are shown an image magnified by a microscope and tasked with identifying what kind of microscope was used. The image is high definition, three dimensional, and includes color. What microscope is most likely the microscope used?

• Light Microscope

• Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)

• Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM)

• Color Microscope

Select the true statement

• The nucleus contains DNA and is only found in Prokaryotes

• The nucleus contains DNA and is only found in Eukaryotes

• The nucleus contains only RNA and is only found in Prokaryotes

• The nucleus contains only RNA and is only found in Eukaryotes

What is the highest magnification Light Microscopes can see?

• 10x

• 100x

• 1,000x

• 10,000x

Electron Microscopes can be used to see at much higher magnifications than light microscopes. What is their BIGGEST drawback?

• Electron Microscopes use electrons, and they are expensive to buy

• Electron Microscopes can only be used to study colored specimens

• Electron Microscopes do not produce colored images

• Electron Microscopes can only be used to study nonliving specimens

Why do some scientists use stains when studying specimens?

• Stains help increase visibility with Electron Microscopes

• Stains help increase visibility with Light Microscopes

• Stains help preserve specimens for Electron Microscopes

• Stains help preserve specimens for Light Microscopes
