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.

Explain why competition between individual of the same species is more often more intense than competition between memories of d
puteri [66]
One big reason for this is because individuals of the same species often have to fight over shared resources (this means shared food and shared environment).

Because they fight over a limited amount of space and food, competition between individuals within one species can be present and very tough.

On the other hand, having members of different species also possibly means different territories and different food sources. A lion has no quarrel with dolphins, while it can have a lot of fights with lions from different prides (large group of lions).
