Explanation / Answer

1.      C) Resolution, contrast and magnification: Resolution of microscope is to distinguish between two points on a specimen that can be visible to observer or image system as two separate points. Contrast in microscope is to show lighter and darker regions as an effect of density of different region in specimen. Magnification is enlargement of image size so it can be easily available in visible range.

2.      A) Ribosomes will be requiring highest speed as its smallest cell organelle of the cell and will be needing more speed and more time to settle down during centrifugation.

3.      C) Eukaryotes have membrane bound organelles such as nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplast etc. whereas prokaryotes do not have.

4.      C) Absence of nucleus: Nucleus is the largest and important cell organelle and taking most of cell’s space, that’s why its absence can limits the cell size.
