A student collects a sample of pond water in a jar to observe the microscopic algae that live in the water . The student then places a drop of the pond water on a microscope slide and observes it under a microscope . The drawings below show what the student observed in the jar and on the slide .Which claim is supported by evidence in the drawings?
29The student observed microscopic algae only on the slide because all of the algae cells were removed from the pond water on the microscope slide.
The student observed microscopic algae only on the slide because the water in the jar was too cloudy to see the algae.
The student observed microscopic algae only on the slide because algae grow larger when placed on a microscope slide.
The student observed microscopic algae only on the slide because algae cells are too small to be seen without magnification by a microscope.
