Question

wich of the followig can be veiwed using a light microscope? ribosomes, the golgi, the nucleus,lipids, or protiens?

Answer 1

which**

Answer 2

Big organelles like the golgi and the nucleus.

Molecules, even big macromolecules like ribosomes, are too small to see with a light microscope and individual molecules like lipids and proteins are far too small to be seen with even an electron microscope.

Answer 3

okay... so then which one would you go with?

Answer 4

I just told you. Read the answer.

Answer 5

you gave me two options. i'm looking for one answer.

Answer 6

I did not give you two different options. I told you which items on the list are big and which are small.

Answer 7

okay then. which is bigger. the golgi OR the nucleus?

Answer 8

Read the answer.

I told you that the golgi and the nucleus are organelles. Organelles are big. The ribosomes, proteins and lipids are molecules or macromolecules. Molecules are small.

Answer 9

i realize the they are organelles. which one is bigger. that is myquestion. if you can;t answer that one specific question, then tell me so

Answer 10

Whether the golgi or the nucleus is bigger is absolutely irrelevant with respect to the answer of your first question - which I answered - about what you can and cannot see with a light microscope.

Can you see big things like organelles with a light microscope? Or can you see little things like molecules with a light microscope?

This is where I help you find the solution, not where I tell you the answer in such terms as you don't understand it.

Answer 11

okay. pretend you've been given a scan-tron test. in other words, a multiple choice test. which option would you choose?

Answer 12

You plainly don't get what I'm telling you. What part of "I'm not going to tell you the answer you don't understand" do you not understand, and I'll explain it.

Answer 13

I told you which items are the list are relatively big. I told you which items on the list are relatively small.

Which do you think you can see with a light microscope? Big things in the cell, or little things in the cell?

Answer 14

i completely understand wht you're telling me. what part of that don't YOU get? i understand that the golgi apparatus synthesizes and properly reproduces protiens, and i understand the fact that the nucleus stores, synthesizes the DNA< and is the "command center" of the cell. the the initial question is asking, if you could read between the lines, is which organelle is the biggest?

Answer 15

The initial question is not "Which is biggest." The initial question is "What items can you see with a light microscope."

What part of that is difficult to understand?

Answer 16

i could ask you the same thing. the biology teacher wants the student to look deeper into the question. you have to choose one option that you can veiw. i KNOW that the golgi and the nucleus are big. i get that. and i KNOW that the others are molecules (also organelles) i need to know ONE answer, and the decision is BETWEEN the golgi and the nucleus.
i need to have a size distinction between the two.

Answer 17

You know that the nucleus and Golgi are organelles. Good. You know that you can see organelles with a light microscope. Also good. That means that you can see BOTH the nucleus and the Golgi with a light microscope.

That is as deep into the problem as it is possible to look.

Answer 18

you obviously don't understand what i'm trying to tell you

Answer 19

Your initial question was not "Is the nucleus or the Golgi" bigger. Your initial question was which off a list of possibilities can be seen with the light microscope. Plainly, two items on that list can be seen with a light microscope.

Why is that difficult to understand?

Answer 20

because for a multiple-choice exercise, YOU HAVE TO HAVE ONE ANSWER

Answer 21

What kind of cell is it? Whether the nucleus or Golgi is bigger depends on what sort of cell you're looking at.

Answer 22

eukaryiotic.

Answer 23

For example, if you're looking at a secretory cell like a hepatocyte cell you're going to have an enormous Golgi. If you're looking at a nonsecretory cell like a neuron, the nucleus will be bigger.

Answer 24

Plainly, if it has a nucleus, it's a eukaryotic cell.

Answer 25

there's not enough information for that. all it says is which of the follwing can beviewed. i assume it's talking ajput a eukaryotic cell

Answer 26

And the rule is, you can view organelles. The nucleus and the Golgi are organelles, therefore they can be viewed with a light microscope.

And you don't need to assume that it's a eukaryotic cell. All eukaryotic cells have nuclei. That is what defines a eukaryotic cell. You didn't need to tell me that.

Answer 27

i assume this is kinda what they're looking for, but i'm not certain.
