1. John observed bacteria at 100X under the oil immersion and then decided to go back to 40X
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The observed image will not be sharp

Explanation:

When 100x microscope objective lens is being used, light refraction in the air is enough high to produce image alterations. Image distortions can be minimized by immersion oil because this liquid has a higher refractive index than air. However, light refraction is not usually noticeable when using 4x, 10x and 40x objective lenses. Moreover, this image will not be sharp after putting oil on the slide and going back to the 40x objective, it is for that reason that the 40x is called 'high dry' lens. In consequence, it is required to clean the immersion oil off the 40x objective. In general, it is required to  to remove the oil and refocus off the slide and lens immediately after oil immersion (it can be done by using an oil-soluble solvent).

Fat and atp are different molecules tgat store energy compare the functions of these molecules in terms of energy storage
Julli [10]

Answer:

Fats and ATP are both energy molecules.

ATP is the source of energy which is directly used by each cell to carry out different functions. All cells use energy in the form of ATP. The mitochondria makes ATP by the process of cellular respiration whenever it is required by the body. ATP is not a stable molecule hence energy cannot be stored in this form.

Fats are long term energy storage molecules. Fats are stable molecules hence they can be used for long term energy storage.

DNA Polymerase helps copy a DNA molecule during the process of what?
PtichkaEL [24]
The DNA polymerases are enzymes that create DNA molecules by assembling nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA. These enzymes are essential to DNA replication and usually work in pairs to create two identical DNA strands from one original DNA molecule. During this process, DNA polymerase “reads” the existing DNA strands to create two new strands that match the existing ones.

Every time a cell divides, DNA polymerase is required to help duplicate the cell’s DNA, so that a copy of the original DNA molecule can be passed to each of the daughter cells. In this way, genetic information is transmitted from generation to generation.

Before replication can take place, an enzyme called helicase unwinds the DNA molecule from its tightly woven form. This opens up or “unzips” the double stranded DNA to give two single strands of DNA that can be used as templates for replication.

DNA polymerase adds new free nucleotides to the 3’ end of the newly-forming strand, elongating it in a 5’ to 3’ direction. However, DNA polymerase cannot begin the formation of this new chain on its own and can only add nucleotides to a pre-existing 3'-OH group. A primer is therefore needed, at which nucleotides can be added. Primers are usually composed of RNA and DNA bases and the first two bases are always RNA. These primers are made by another enzyme called primase.

Although the function of DNA polymerase is highly accurate, a mistake is made for about one in every billion base pairs copied. The DNA is therefore “proofread” by DNA polymerase after it has been copied so that misplaced base pairs can be corrected. This preserves the integrity of the original DNA strand that is passed onto the daughter cells.

Structure of DNA polymerase

The structure of DNA polymerase is highly conserved, meaning their catalytic subunits vary very little from one species to another, irrespective of how their domains are structured. This highly conserved structure usually indicates that the cellular functions they perform are crucial and irreplaceable and therefore require rigid maintenance to ensure their evolutionary advantage.
