What is the reason that a modern electron microscope (TEM) can resolve biological images to the subnanometer level, as opposed t

o tens of nanometers achievable for the best super-resolution light microscope?
a.the focal length of the electron microscope is significantly longerb.contrast is enhanced by staining with atoms of heavy metalc.electron beams have much shorter wavelengths than visible lightd.the electron microscope has a much greater ratio of image size to real size

Answer:

C. Electron beams have much shorter wavelengths than visible light

Explanation:

A beam of electrons is used to illuminate and create magnified images of specimens in an electron microscope. The resolution of a microscope increases with a decrease in the wavelength of the light it uses for illumination. The wavelength of electrons used in the electron microscope is about 100,000 times shorter than that of visible light. Therefore electron microscopes have a resolution thousand times better than the light microscope.

the data collected over the years clearly confirm depletion of ozone in the stratosphere. what do scientists still need to learn
Lisa [10]

<span>Ozone is simply a molecule consisting of 3 oxygen atoms, which reacts strongly with other molecules. Ozone is created in the stratosphere when high energy uv radiation causes on O2 molecule to split. The free oxygen atoms collide and react with other O2 molecules to form O3.</span>

Production is highest where the solar uv is the greatest eg near the tropics, but once created, the ozone is then circulated towards the poles by the atmosphere. The amount of ozone in the stratosphere can vary with location, season and even day to day climatic conditions.

<span>The process of ozone creation is what makes the O3 in the atmosphere very effective at shielding the Earth from harmful uv radiation, which can cause many biological problems, such as skin cancer. However, due to its high reactivity, the uv found in the tropospher at ground level can aslo be dangerous as a toxic pollutant which is harmful to plants and lung tissue, and is a major cause of smog.</span>

valina [46]

Answer: c. Air pollution

Explanation:

There was a heatwave in Europe during the early years of the 21st century that killed tens of thousands across the continent and thousands in France.

Air pollution was blamed for having made the situation worse because the pollutants in the air acted to prevent heat from escaping back into the atmosphere which led to increased heat on ground and therefore a heat wave.
