An ecologist is studying Dunaliella salina a single celled algae in a local pond. The pond is located near a construction site and the ecologist wants to know what affect, if any, the construction site is having on the pond, as there has been a steady decline in the Dunaliella salina population. In order to complete their study the ecologist would like to examine the organelles inside Dunaliella salina. If they would like to examine the inner structure of the chloroplasts of an already dead Dunaliella salina, what microscope would be best suited for this task?

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.

answercells,tissues,organs,organ,system-organism;

levels of biological organization; organism,population,community,ecosystem,biome,biosphere,

hope this .good luck
