ANy help would be great.

What is the power of the microscope, just being lighted is not really the issue, the mag power is the issue.

Magnification is indeed critical to how much detail you'll see. As is contrast. If we assume the scope is reasonably good, "up-to-date" if you will, you'll be able to see plenty. What you won't see is fine detail. For instance, you should easily be able to see the nucleus and might even be able to make out DNA when its in the condensed or chromatin phase. But you won't be able to see the individual chromosomes, stands of the double helix, or GATC nucleotide bases. You'll be able to see organells like mitochondria, but you won't be able to see the proteins inside that make it run. Sort of like if you saw an open air football stadium from an airplane at 30,000 feet you'd be able to make out the general structure (allowing you to recognize it as a stadium), but there's no way you'd be able to see the people inside. Since there's lots of "stuff" inside an animal cell, if you narrow down what you're interested in seeing, or not seeing, let me know and I can respond. Hope this helps.

The thing you can't see in an animal cell that you CAN see in a plant cell is chloroplasts. I'm guessing that's the answer they are looking for, but apparently it's a test question... so I'm not sure we should be answering this, aside from the fact that it was posted quite a while ago.
