1. When biologists wish to study the internal ultrastruc-
ture of cells, they can achieve the finest
resolution by using a
A) phase-contrast light microscope.
B) scanning electron microscope.
C) transmission electronic microscope.
D) confocal fluorescence microscope.
2. One advantage of light microscopy over transmission
electron microscopy is that
A) specimen preparation for light microcopy does not
produce artifacts.
B) light microscopy provides for higher resolving
power than transmission electron microscopy.
C) light microscopy provides for higher magnification
than transmission electron microscopy.
D) light microscopy allows one to view dynamic
processes in living cells.
3. Biologists commonly use cell fractionation to
A) sort cells based on their size and weight.
B) visualize the 3-D structure of cell membranes.
C) isolate organelles to examine their biological func-
tions.
D) examine the distribution of organelles within the
cell.
4. When subcellular components from disrupted cells
are separated using centrifugation, the
primary factor that determines whether a specific cel-
lular component remains in the liquid
solution or ends up in the pellet is
A) the relative size and weight of the component.
B) the relative solubility of the component.
C) how hydrophobic the component is.
D) the carbohydrate composition of the component.

creasingly higher speeds, which of the
