An organelle that is visible only with the aid of an electron microscope is the:
- A
Nucleus
- B
Chloroplast
- C
Cell wall
- D
Ribosome
- E
Vacuole
Ribosomes are only visible with the electron microscope.
The nucleus is a large organelle that can be seen with a light microscope.
Chloroplasts can be observed with a light microscope due to their relatively large size and green pigment.
The cell wall is a structural layer that is easily visible under a light microscope.
Ribosomes are tiny structures that are only visible with the aid of an electron microscope due to their small size.
Vacuoles, especially in plant cells, are large enough to be seen with a light microscope.
