Question

The part of a cell that can be seen with an electron microscope, but cannot with a light microscope is/are

• A. Nucleus
• B. Golgi bodies
• C. Chloroplasts
• D. Membrane separating the nucleus from the cytoplasm

Answer 1

The correct option is D Membrane separating the nucleus from the cytoplasm

Nucleus, Golgi bodies and chloroplasts are the organelles of the cell and hence can easily be visible under the compound microscope. The nuclear membrane is the membrane which separates the nucleus with the cytoplasm. It is a double lipid bilayer membrane which can only be visible under the electron microscope.
Thus, the correct answer is option (D), 'membrane separating the nucleus from the cytoplasm'.
