Question

The smallest cell structure that would most likely be visible with a standard (not super-resolution) research-grade light microscope is a ________.A) mitochondrion

B) microtubule
C) ribosome
D) microfilament

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a double membrane organelle of 0.5- 1 to 1 micrometer in diameter; and 7 micrometre in length.

Since the resolution of light ,microscope is less than 200nm; only the mitochondrion can be seen with this microscope.

The mitochondrial functions a s the power house of the cell. for generation of ATPs

Howevrer the parts of other options are closer than 200nm in diameter and are ; therefore are not visible to this microscope.
