If temperature is increased, what happens to the rate of diffusion?

Choice A rationale: Only use lower power magnification is incorrect because this does not solve the problem of the dark field of view, but rather avoids it. Using lower power magnification means that you will not be able to see the details of the specimen that you want to observe under the 40x objective lens. Lower power magnification also has a larger field of view and a lower resolution than higher power magnification.

Choice B rationale: Add more immersion oil is incorrect because immersion oil is only used for the highest magnification objective lens, which is the 100x oil immersion objective lens, not the 40x objective lens. Immersion oil is a type of oil that has the same refractive index as glass, which means that it bends light in the same way as glass. Immersion oil is applied between the slide and the lens to reduce the refraction of light and increase the clarity of the image.

Choice C rationale: Adjust the fine adjustment knob is incorrect because the fine adjustment knob is used to fine-tune the focus of the specimen, not the brightness of the field of view. The fine adjustment knob is a small knob that is located on the side of the microscope, next to the coarse adjustment knob. The fine adjustment knob is used to make small changes in the distance between the objective lens and the specimen, which improves the sharpness of the image.

Choice D rationale: Increase the light intensity is correct because the light intensity is the amount of light that reaches the specimen and the objective lens, which affects the brightness of the field of view. The light intensity can be adjusted by using the rheostat, which is a dial that is located on the base of the microscope, next to the light source. The rheostat can increase or decrease the voltage of the light source, which changes the brightness of the light. Increasing the light intensity can make the field of view brighter and easier to see.

Choice A rationale: Movement of water into the blood from the dialysis solution is incorrect because it is not the main goal of dialysis. Dialysis aims to remove excess water and solutes from the blood, not to add more water to it. The dialysis solution is usually isotonic to the blood, which means it has the same osmotic pressure and does not cause water movement.

Choice B rationale: Simple diffusion across a semi-permeable membrane is correct because it is the process of dialysis. Dialysis is the separation of small molecules from large molecules by using a membrane that allows only the small molecules to pass through. The dialysis membrane is semi-permeable, which means it is selective in what it allows to cross. The dialysis solution contains a lower concentration of wastes than the blood, which creates a concentration gradient that drives the diffusion of wastes from the blood to the solution.

Choice C rationale: Active transport across a semi-permeable membrane is incorrect because it is not involved in dialysis. Active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane against their concentration gradient, which requires energy and transport proteins. Active transport is not necessary for dialysis, since the concentration gradient is favorable for diffusion.

Choice D rationale: Active transport of glucose from the blood to the dialysis solution is incorrect because it is not beneficial for dialysis. Glucose is a vital nutrient for the body, and it should not be removed from the blood. The dialysis solution usually contains glucose to prevent its loss from the blood by diffusion.

Choice E rationale: Facilitated diffusion across a semi-permeable membrane is incorrect because it is not relevant for dialysis. Facilitated diffusion is the passive movement of molecules across a membrane with the help of transport proteins. Facilitated diffusion is not needed for dialysis, since the wastes are small enough to cross the membrane by simple diffusion.
