5) 40 divisions of the eyepiece grat = 0.1 mm (from the stage micrometer)
chloroplast = 5 divisions of the eyepiece grat.
5 divisions of eyepiece graticule = (0.5/40)


6) prokaryotes do not have a nuclear memberane as they do not have a defined nucleus. so the prophase of division of prokaryotes is much shorter without the need to dissolve the nuclear memberane to start the division process.

8) when the two monosacchrides combine they have to realease a water molecule too. so add all the elements e.g. of maltose : -
C12H24O12 --> subtract a H2O molecule from it and u have --> C12H22O11

in q-8 how do u know the formula of maltose?

umm firstly it is included in the syllabus so u should know it.
and secondly look 2 glucose molecules undergo condensation to make a maltose. add 2 glucose and u'll get C12H24O12 then subtract a water molecule from them and u'll be left with a maltose molecule i.e. C12H22O11

I think it's amylase since it's an enzyme ( pure protein) and the DNA controls protein synthesis. From where did you get that question?

C is wrong cause with this resolution you can't even see the membrane. It's not about the distance between two membranes. Your eyes won't be able to distinguish it from the medium around it. You need a resolution of more than 7nm to see the cell membrane
But resolution= wavelength / 2. So the resolution of a 600nm wavelength should give a 300nm resolution. And since resolution is the ability to distinguish between 2 points then 2 membranes 300 nm apart should be seen as separate points..
Right?

Resolution means the ability to distinguish between two different points. With a resolution less than 7 nm, you won't be able to differentiate the membrane from its surroundings, you won't see it.
But you aren't seeing the membranes. Your simply looking at the lines of the cell which you can see. And which are 300nm apart
