Answer:

Letter D

Explanation:

Benthic organisms are identified as species that live in relation to the bottom (substrate), either to attach to it or to drill, dig and/or walk on a surface. The substrate can be consolidated (rocks, wood, wharf, etc.) or unconsolidated (sand, mud, etc.). Benthic organisms are composed of macroalgae, microalgae and aquatic plants (phytobenthos); animals and many protists (zoobenthos).

So, Tuna isn't a benthic organism and the right answer is Letter D.

A student wants to view a cell’s mitochondria. Which of the following microscopes would show a mitochondria’s internal structure

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Transmission Electron Microscope would show a mitochondria’s internal structure in the greatest detail

Explanation:

The TEM is used to visualise the internal structure of the cells. This works when an electron beam of light passes through the object or the sample, it shows a clear presence of the organelles inside the cell. The TEM uses the energetic electron which provides the morphological as well as compositional and crystallographic features of the cell. Its maximum potential is about 1 nanometre. Among the most powerful microscope for studying the internal organelles of the cell TEM is one.
