name an advantage of visible light microscope - ANS-they can observe sub-cellular
structures
name a disadvantage of light microscope - ANS-does not have a very high
magnification or resolution
name an advantage of electron microscope - ANS-has a high resolution and
magnification
name a disadvantage of electron microscope - ANS-they destroy the sample
what is the function of the golgi apparatus? - ANS-process and bundle proteins and
lipids as they are synthesised within the cell

what organelles are found in plant cells but not animal cells? - ANS-to supply energy
needed for movement
why do sperm cells have lots of mitochondria? - ANS-to supply energy needed for
movement
where is a ciliated cell found? - ANS-covering the exposed cell surface- ciliated
