The answer is; concentration of oxygen and/or total atmospheric pressure is lower at high altitudes

This means that at high altitude, due to the low pressure, every breath has a lower oxygen content than at a lower altitude. This, therefore, necessitates the body to increase the erythrocyte numbers in the blood to maximize the uptake of oxygen from the thinner air.

BlackZzzverrR [31]
The correct answer is "transmission electron microscope".

The transmission electron microscope can magnify the organelles of the cell clearly; as in light microscopes wherein most organelles cannot be visualized. TEM works by using a beam of electrons to pass through a specimen to make a clear image. Because of its superior magnification, mitochondrial defects can be visualized easily.

Attached is a sample picture of a transmission electron microscope image of a mitochondria.

Why do companies like nestle object to bottle deposit programs? what do they support instead?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The companies take away the bottle as "security deposit and however they can recycle and reuse it."

Explanation:

When buying different beverages from a person distributing, a deposit needs typically to be paid to the distributor from the containers that have been taken. However, the distributor will issue a refund once the bottle that was taken has been returned to the place of purchase. Therefore, the distributor will reimburse the redemption of the retailer the amount that was deposited for every container. The additional handling fees usually added in some countries. The deposits that remain unredeemed are taken to the state or kept by distributors.
