Answer:

There is a great difference between light and scanning electron microscope. The source of illumination is light rays in light microscope while in scanning electron microscope electrons are the source of illumination.

The resolving and magnification power of scanning electron microscope is much greater than that of a light microscope. The magnifying power of a light microscope is 1000X and of electron microscope is 10,00,000X.

In light microscope image is seen through the eyepiece while in scanning electron microscope it is seen on a fluorescent screen. Even small specimens up to 0.1 micrometers can be seen by scanning electron microscope which is not possible to see by light microscope.

<em>The latter studies truly showed that some factors other than genetic predisposition play a role in obesity.</em>

The composition of the genome of an individual might predispose such individual to a higher risk of being obese. However, that such individual will become obese depends on some other factors, the most important being the kind of lifestyle the individual lives.

A lifestyle such as eating foods high in fat content, not eating adequate fruits, not eating eating adequate vegetables and drinking a lot of alcohol can cause someone to be obese apart from genetic predisposition.
