The given statement is True.

Visual Receptors: Rods and cones are the two types of cells present in the retal part of eye which works as a visual receptors which establishes a synaptic network involving neurons which connects the receptors to brain and help us in visualizing. However loss of neurons in the retina because of any kind of physical or biological damage permanently cuts the connection of receptors with brain and it cannot be replaced naturally.

Hearing receptors: Inside the ears there is a small structure known as cochlea which contains the organ of corti which further contains the hair cells [sensory cells] working as hearing receptors but research till date concludes that mammalian cochlear hair cells do not regenerate, either spontaneously or after damage.

Taste receptors: The small little bumbs present of our tongue are known as papillae whioch functions as taste receptors as they contain taste buds. Scientifically there taste buds die off and regenerate every few weeks.

Olfactory receptors: These receptors keep on replacing due to continuous differentiation of basal cells which develop and are capable of restablishing the connection with Central nervous system.

Using two or more sentences, describe how a light microscope creates a magnified image.
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:  A microscope is an instrument that produces a clear magnified image of an object viewed through it. A microscope must be able not only to magnify objects sufficiently but also to resolve, or separate, the fine details of the object that are of interest to the viewer. In the optical microscope visible light rays, reflected from or transmitted by the viewed object, pass through a series of lenses and form an enlarged image of the object. This image is produced at the normal distance of clearest vision, which is about 10 inches, or 25 centimetres, from the eye of the viewer.
