If you are using a microscope with an ocular lens of 10x and an objective lens of 4x, what is the total magnification of the specimen you are viewing.

The total magnification is 40x.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the total magnification of a microscope, we have to multiply the magnification of the used lenses. In other words, for this case:

Total Magnification = Ocular lens' magnification * objective lens' magnification

unicellular organisms, like bacteria, are able to perform all life functions within one single cell. multicellular organisms need many different types of cells to carry out the same life processes. each of these special types of cells has a different structure that it perform a specific function.
