Answer: A food chain is a linear link in a food web, and a food web shows how different paths are connected.

Explanation:

<u>A food chain is a linear link in a food web</u> which starts from a producer organism and ends at predator species and decomposer species. A food chain follows only one path, so they begin with one plant and end with one animal, and shows how an organism gets nutrients and energy and how are those passed to another organism. A simple food chain could start with grass, which is eaten by rabbits, which is eaten by a snake, which is decomposed by earthworms.

<u>A food web shows how different paths are connected</u>. It indicates how a consumer animal may feed on several producing animals or plants. At the same time, several decomposers can act on the same organism. An example of a food web is that there ar many decomposers (microbes, earthworms, fungi) to decompose the same animal.

Thereby, a food web consists of many food chains.

Explain how the development of the cuticle and the vascular system influenced the evolution of plants on land
Black_prince [1.1K]
<span>When plants moved on the land they had to adapt to new environment and </span>to deal with new <span>problems. The main problem for plants was to figure out how to regulate water loss within the cells. One of the solution was the formation of the waxy covering on top of leaves-cuticle, which evolved on the surface of leaves to reduce water loss. Another problem for plants was to figure out how to obtain resources from soil and air, so they developed vascular tissue to transport water/sugar within the plant.</span>

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Objective Lens Magnification = ×100

Explanation:

In a microscope, the ocular (eyepiece) lenses are usually to a magnification of ×10, meaning that it magnifies the image 10 times. While the standard objective lenses have magnifications of ×4, ×10, ×40, and ×100.

In order to work out the total magnification, the individual magnifications of the ocular and objective lenses have to be known, after which a simple multiplication of both magnifications will give the total magnification used.

Total Magnification = (eyepiece lens magnification) × (objective lens magnification)

1000 = 10 × obejcetive lens magnification

Dividing both sides by 10

Objective lens magnification = 1000 ÷ 10 = 10

∴ Objective lens magnification = ×100
