Question

a scientist views different objects using a light microscope. which features would the scientist most likely see for samples from multicellular organisms? select the three correct answers. a large cell size b small organelle features c different types of cells d smaller number of cells e cells organized into tissues the scientists are designing an experiment to study the small, hairlike organelles on the outsides of some cells found in humans. they want to compare the structures of these organelles to cells from other multicellular organisms, such as plants. these organelles can have features with sizes as small as 50 to 100 nanometers (nm). use figure 2 to describe which type of microscope the scientists should use to study the features of the hairlike organelles. explain one possible function for these organelles based on where the organelles are located in the cell model in figure 1. make sure your response addresses both parts of the prompt

Explanation:

For the first - part multiple - choice question, in multicellular organisms under a light microscope, large cell size can be seen, different types of cells are present, and cells organized into tissues can be observed. Light microscopes have limited resolution and cannot show small organelle features well. Multicellular organisms have a large number of cells. For the second - part short - answer question, since the organelles are 50 - 100 nm in size, an electron microscope is needed as light microscopes cannot resolve structures this small. If the hair - like organelles (cilia or flagella) are on the outside of cells, they may be involved in cell movement or moving substances along the cell surface.

Answer:

For the multiple - choice: A. large cell size, C. different types of cells, E. cells organized into tissues
For the short - answer: The scientists should use an electron microscope because the organelles are too small (50 - 100 nm) for a light microscope to resolve. A possible function of these organelles (if they are cilia or flagella) is to move the cell or move substances across the cell surface.
