Why couldn't you see a virus with your microscope even if you increased the eyepiece lens magnification to 100x?

Answer;

-Viruses are too small to be seen in a light microscope, however viruses can be seen with an electron microscope with 100,000x magnification

Explanation;

-Viruses are considerably smaller, as they are merely nucleic acid surrounded by a protein shell as opposed to an entire living cell. Viruses typically range from 20-400 nm, meaning one needs an electron microscope to see them.

Bacteria are over 100 times larger than viruses, but both can still only be seen  by using a microscope. However, bacteria can be seen through a light microscope while virus can not. (since the maximum magnification of a light microscope is x1500 which is not enough to view a virus).

1. a host loses nutrients to a parasite

2. a parasite only benefits when the host is alive (cause if the host dies the parasite dies with it )

3. producers to consumers

4. the tapeworm is a parasite

5. they convert energy from the sun (photosynthesis)

6. sunflower-robin (i think im 80% sure)

7. producer

8. consumer

9. prey

10. fresh water snails ( cause the green algea is the producer and the snails are the primary consumers and the small fish consumer so is the big fish)
