Solution
The first statement is True. The Gram stain does differentiate between bacteria based on the composition of their cell wall.
For the second question, the total magnification of a microscope is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnification of the objective lens. In this case, if the eyepiece magnifies by 10 and the objective lens magnifies by 4, then the total magnification of the microscope is 10 * 4 = 40. So, the correct answer is 40.
