Eukaryotic Cells
1. The advantages of using an electron microscope is that it has a greater magnification, so you can see more detail about the organism. It would be preferable to use a light microscope when you want to see the cell in the act of moving or dividing.
2. Prokaryotic cells don’t have organelles like eukaryotic cells do. Eukaryotic cells contain its DNA within its nucleus, while prokaryotic cells keep it within the nucleoid. Prokaryotic cells are also more minute than the eukaryotic cells. Also although they both contain ribosomes, they are composed differently.
3. The central vacuole (takes in water and chemicals), cell wall (allows the plant to be strong enough to remain vertical), and chloroplasts (turns light energy into sugars during photosynthesis) are present in a plant cell but not in an animal cell.

The advantages of organelles having their own compartments is that they each have their own specific structure so they each have their own specific function. Also, in the case of lysosomes, compartmentalization is good for the cell since the lysosome can use its acid to digest food without harming the rest of the cell.
5. Chloroplasts and mitochondria both provide the cell with energy. Chloroplasts do this by turning light into sugar during photosynthesis. Mitochondria do this through cellular respiration by turning sugars into ATP.
1. Examining fine structural details within cell organelles: TEM since the organism is cut so the organelles can be seen on a 2D image.
Observing how a cell changes shape as it moves: Light microscope, since it can be used to see living specimens that are moving.
Studying tiny bumps on the cell surface: SEM since it shows organisms in 3D.
Filming changes in the shape of the nucleus as a cell prepares to divide: Light microscope, since it can be used to see living specimens that are moving.
2. First Cube-
Surface area: 150 µm^2
Volume: 125 µm^3
Ratio: 1.2
Second cube-
Surface area: 600 µm^2
Volume: 1000 µm^3
Ratio:
