2. How might a researcher study the presence of a specific protein in cells from different tissues of the bodyi O Use scanning electron microscopy to search for the protein in the three-dimensional surfaces of whole cells. O Treat cells with a dye that selectively binds to the protein of interest, and look for evidence of this dye in cells, using light microscopy Slice cells into thin sections, use electron microscopy to take many images of structures inside the cells, and search for the protein in the images O Use a general protein stain to treat cells before preparing them for bright-field microscopy, and then search for evidence of this dye in the samples Observe the protein in living cells, using light microscopy techniques that preserve cells in the living state

Explanation / Answer

option second is correct.

we will use a specific dye whicg especially binds with the protein of our interest and then we can visualise the occurance of dye in the cell.

the first option is wrong because we cannot search any protein in cell randomly.

slicing of cell structures the sell then disturb the exact location of protein.

General peotein stain binds with the all proteins present in the cell and then we can not identify protein of our intrest specifically.

So option second is correct only.
