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

The body determines whether certain genes should be expressed or not. Sometimes genes are only turned on once or twice in a life
zmey [24]

The gene which is produced once or twice in a lifetime is the milk producing hormone after childbirth. This is because it is produced only after the birth of the child. The growth of the mammary glands takes place during pregnancy. The breast continue to increase in size after giving birth to a child. After delivery only copious milk is produced which is generally done with the help of milk hormone. During pregnancy the secretion of the milk is inhibited by the estrogen and progesterone which circulates in the blood stream which in turn inhibits the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland thus making the mammary glands unresponsive. Where as insulin is a hormone which helps the body to utilise the sugar or glucose from different sources like carbohydrates that we get while we eat food and adrenaline is secreted when we are scared or when we feel that we are in danger. Therefore, milk producing hormone is the gene that are turned once or twice in a lifetime.

What happens when lakes are acidified?
Dima020 [189]
Lakes that have been acidified cannot support the same variety of life as healthy lakes. As a lake becomes more acidic, crayfish and clam populations are the first to disappear, then various types of fish. Many types of plankton-minute organisms that form the basis of the lake's food chain-are also affected. As fish stocks dwindle, so do populations of loons and other water birds that feed on them. The lakes, however, do not become totally dead. Some life forms actually benefit from the increased acidity. Lake-bottom plants and mosses, for instance, thrive in acid lakes. So do blackfly larvae.

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Some of the energy is used by decomposers, and some of the energy is released into the environment as heat.

The producer intakes energy from the sun and 10 % of energy is passed on to tropic level I, and similarly at each tropic level 10% of the energy is passed on and the decomposer are at the last tropic level. Thus they also receive 10% of energy and rest all is released into the energy.
