Plant and Animal Cells Overview

Which claim is supported by evidence in the drawings?

• The student observed microscopic algae only on the slide because algae grow larger when placed on a microscope slide.

• The student observed microscopic algae only on the slide because all of the algae cells were removed from the pond water on the microscope slide.

• The student observed microscopic algae only on the slide because algae cells are too small to be seen without magnification by a microscope.

• The student observed microscopic algae only on the slide because the water in the jar was too cloudy to see the algae.

Which of the following would be the best tool to use to identify the plant?

• The microscope, as it zooms in to show the structures inside the cells.

• The magnifying glass, as it zooms in to show the structures inside the cells.

• The microscope, as it zooms out far enough to allow the whole plant to be seen.

• The magnifying glass, as it zooms out far enough to allow the whole plant to be seen.
