Question

based on cell size, which cells can be seen with the light microscope?
check all that apply
□ paramecium
□ bacterium
□ large virus
□ red blood cell
□ eukaryotic nucleus

Explanation:

A light microscope can resolve structures typically larger than ~200 nanometers. Paramecia (100-300 micrometers), red blood cells (6-8 micrometers), eukaryotic nuclei (5-10 micrometers), and even some larger bacteria (up to 5 micrometers) are above this threshold. Viruses, even large ones, are only 20-300 nanometers, too small for light microscopy.

Answer:

☑️ paramecium
☑️ bacterium
☑️ red blood cell
☑️ eukaryotic nucleus
