question 10 of 10
a scientist wants to observe the structure that joins a cell to neighboring cells. how should the scientist observe the detailed structure of the cell?
a. the scientist should use a light microscope.
b. the scientist should prepare a culture of the cell.
c. the scientist should prepare a medium for the cell.
d. the scientist should use an electron microscope.

Explanation:

To observe the detailed structure of a cell and the structure that joins it to neighboring cells, a high - resolution tool is needed. Electron microscopes have much higher resolution than light microscopes and can show fine details of cell structures. Preparing a cell culture or medium is for cell growth and maintenance, not for detailed structural observation.

Answer:

D. The scientist should use an electron microscope.
