1. John observed bacteria at 100X under the oil immersion and then decided to go back to 40X
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The observed image will not be sharp

Explanation:

When 100x microscope objective lens is being used, light refraction in the air is enough high to produce image alterations. Image distortions can be minimized by immersion oil because this liquid has a higher refractive index than air. However, light refraction is not usually noticeable when using 4x, 10x and 40x objective lenses. Moreover, this image will not be sharp after putting oil on the slide and going back to the 40x objective, it is for that reason that the 40x is called 'high dry' lens. In consequence, it is required to clean the immersion oil off the 40x objective. In general, it is required to  to remove the oil and refocus off the slide and lens immediately after oil immersion (it can be done by using an oil-soluble solvent).

How does an impulse travel from one neuron to another?
Mazyrski [523]

What is a reducing sugar?
icang [17]
Reducing sugar is any sugar (all monosaccharides, some disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides) that is capable of acting as a reducing agent because it contains free aldehyde group or free ketone group.

Aldehyde group or alkanal is an organic compound containing formyl group. The formyl group is a functional group consisting of a carbonyl center bonded to hydrogen and an R group. This group can be readily reduced to primary alcohol with the help of catalyctic hydrogenation either applied directly or by transfer hydrogenation.

Ketone group unlike aldehyde group does not have a hydrogen atome bonded to the carbonyl group but it can still be hydrogenated.

Can impermeable rock become permeable rock? Explain why it why not.
zepelin [54]
Porous and Impermeable Rock These pores, or tiny holes, result in the rock's porosity. If water can move through a rock, the rock is permeable. Eventually, the water reaches a layer of rock that is not porous. This rock is impermeable.
