CLEP Biology exam 2023 with 100% correct answers

Describe the difference between magnification and resolving power - correct answer Magnification is the ratio of an object's image size to its real size. Resolution is a measure of the clarity of the image and is the minimum distance two points can be separated and still be distinguished as two points. Organelles - correct answer Membrane-bound compartments in a cell which cannot be resolved by a light microscope A useful technique for studying cell structure and function, which takes cells apart and separates the major organelles and other subcellular structures from one another - correct answer Cell fractionation (instrument used is the centrifuge) How do stains used for light microscopy compare with those used for electron microscopy?
