Answer:
1. The correct answer would be A) allow you to view living cells, while electron microscopes do not.
There are many advantages of light microscope over electron microscope such as:
- It is easy to use as compared to the electron microscope.
- It enables us to view both alive as well as dead specimen whereas electron microscope can be used to view dead specimen only.
- Light microscopes are much cheaper and have much lower maintenance cost as compared to the electron microscope.
2. The correct answer would be C) scanning electron microscope
Scanning electron microscope or SEM is a type of electron microscope which is used to observe surface topography and composition of the specimen. It can achieve resolution of up to 1 nanometer.
3. The correct answer would be 400x
The total magnification of the microscope can be calculated by multiplying the powers of the objective lens and that of the eye lens.
Thus, the magnification of the specimen would be 40*10 = 400x.
Catastrophism is the theory that the Earth has largely been shaped by sudden, short-lived, violent events, possibly worldwide in scope.[1] This is in contrast to uniformitarianism (sometimes described as gradualism), in which slow incremental changes, such as erosion, created all the Earth's geological features. The proponents of uniformitarianism held that the present was the key to the past, and that all geological processes (such as erosion) throughout the past were like those that can be observed now. Since the early disputes, a more inclusive and integrated view of geologic events has developed, in which the scientific consensus accepts that there were some catastrophic events in the geologic past, but these were explicable as extreme examples of natural processes which can occur.
Answer:
(A) Bioaccumulation
Explanation:
When the concentration of certain substances in the bodies of the organisms of various trophic levels keeps on increasing as they pass through the food chain, the process is called bioaccumulation or biomagnification.
Most of the organic non-biodegradable pollutants/chemicals exhibit bioaccumulation. Being insoluble in water, these chemicals are accumulated in the fat tissues of the organisms.
As the predator feeds on the prey having a non-biodegradable chemical in its tissues, the chemical enters the body of the predator.
As these chemicals pass through the food chain, there is a gradual increase in their concentration stored in the living tissues of the organisms. Therefore, the top consumers exhibit maximum bioaccumulation of contaminants in a food chain.
C. is deactivated in a strongly acidic solution
