ANSWERS 2026
Match each of the following organelles with the correct description:
Nucleus
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Lysosomes
Chloroplasts
Ribosomes
Cytoplasm correct answer Nucleus - Contains genomic content
Endoplasmic Reticulum - Series of membrane-enclosed sacs and interconnected
tubes
Lysosomes - contain hydrolytic enzymes for digestion
Chloroplast - site of photosynthesis
Ribosomes - function in protein synthesis
Cytoplasm - constitutes the open volume within a cell
, Briefly explain how a Scanning Electron Microscope ( SEM ) forms an image of
subcellular organelles , substrates , and viral particles .
TEM correct answer When using an SEM the samples are coated with gold or
palladium, then exposed to a beam of electrons that reflects off the surface of the
specimen creating a 3-D image
When using a TEM, the sample is sliced very thinly and the electron passes
through sample visualizing organelles, substrates, and viral particles
