Answer:

While a light microscope uses light to illuminate specimens and glass lenses to magnify images, an electron microscope uses a beam of electrons to illuminate specimens and magnetic lenses to magnify images. The resolution (the level of image detailing) is the main difference between these two microscopes.

A compound light microscope is a microscope with more than one lens and its own light source. In this type of microscope, there are ocular lenses in the binocular eyepieces and objective lenses in a rotating nose piece closer to the specimen.

Answer:

Option B, The compound light microscope can view living things, but the transmission electron cannot.

Explanation:

In a transmission electron microscope(TEM) , a beam of electron is used to illuminate the specimen thereby generating its projection images.  While compound microscope uses light to illuminate the surface of specimen and hence magnify it (make it larger) and  observes its structure (even cells and their structure). Compound microscope has high magnification but low resolution while a TEM has high magnification and  high resolution. TEM requires vaccum environment to operate while this is not the case with compound microscope. TEM can be used to view dead things only while compound microscope is used to observe both dead and live things.

Hence, option B is correct

Saturated fatty acids are different to unsaturated fatty acids because they?
saul85 [17]

Saturated fatty acids are different to unsaturated fatty acids because they have no C=C double bonds.

<h3>What are the differences between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids?</h3>
  • Saturated fatty acids do not have C=C double bonds, while in unsaturated fatty acids there is at least one C=C double bond in the fatty acid chain.
  • Saturated fats are usually solid at room temperature and are derived from animal sources, whereas unsaturated fats are usually liquid at room temperature and are from plant sources.
  • One must reduce the amount of saturated fat in their diet and consume more unsaturated fats like olives, seeds and nuts.
  • Unsaturated fats can be monounsaturated (contains only C=C double bond) or polyunsaturated (contains two or more C=C double bonds).

What air pressure, humidity, clouds, and temperature called?​
dexar [7]
Air pressure is the amount of pressure exerted by the air in a particular air mass. Humidity is a measure of the water content of the air mass. Clouds are tiny drops of water or ice that form in the atmosphere. Wind is a process of movement of air that occurs due to the uneven heating of the Earth's surface.

How does the possible impact of a chromosomal mutation that occurs?
Papessa [141]
  If the mutation occurs during meiosis, the mutation will be incorporated into a gamete. If that gamete is the one that eventually fuses with another gamete (i.e. if it's the sperm that fertilizes the egg), that mutation will be passed on to the offspring. As all the offspring's cells are the result of the first two gametes, all the organism's cells will have that mutation. Obviously this can have dire consequences for the offspring, if the mutation is harmful.
