Suppose you were watching a small organism under the microscope and noticed that it moved away from you and then to the right. Which direction(s) did the organism actually move?

Question

toward you and to the right


away from you and to the right


toward you and to the left


away from you and to the left


just to the right - it looks like it's moving away when you use focus knob

Answer 1

When observing an organism under a microscope, the movement of the organism appears reversed due to the optics of the microscope. Therefore, if you saw the organism move away from you and then to the right, it actually moved in the opposite direction.

Thus, the organism actually moved toward you and to the left.
