Both the compound light microscope and the scanning electron microscope are devices used for visualizing structures too small to see them with the eye. But, they differ in many ways. Some of them are:

* → The light microscope is compact, handy, and simple to use.
  → The electron microscope is large, complicated, and requires technical skills.

* → The light microscope can be used for observation of both live and dead specimens.
   → The electron microscope can be used for observation of only dead specimens.

* → The light microscope uses light rays for illumination of the specimens.
  → The electron microscope uses electron beams to view specimens.

* → The light microscope has a magnification of up to 1,500 times.
  → The electron microscope has a magnification<span> of up to 1,000,000 times.

* </span>→ The light microscope has lenses made of glass.
<span>  → The electron microscope has lenses made of electromagnets.</span>

What is the function of RBC
avanturin [10]

Answer:

When a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, it contracts as water is drawn out of the cell and into the surrounding solution. If the same blood cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the blood cell grows in size. Blood cells in isotonic solutions do not shrink or swell.

The reason that blood cells change in size when placed in a solution with different salt concentration is due to the osmosis process. Osmosis causes solutions with high concentrations of salt to draw water from areas with low concentrations of salt.

There are some exceptions to this phenomenon. Blood cells can draw water and explode when placed in hypertonic solution on some special occasions. Some diseases affect the structural integrity of blood cells. Also, when human blood cells are exposed to temperatures close to freezing, they can draw water and explode.

Osmosis is an important phenomenon for living systems. The amount of salt in a given solution exhibits a tendency to diffuse through the environment, eventually resulting in equilibrium. In addition to blood cells, the kidneys function through the use of osmotic principles. The kidneys filter an animal's blood to remove excess salt and balance the amount of water

Compare the functions of the circulatory, respiratory, and nervous system in gas exchange
kow [346]

Answer:

Functions of the circulatory, respiratory, and nervous system in gas exchange are interconnected with each other in the following manner:

The circulatory system is responsible to pumps blood around the body. The circulation system allows the absorption of oxygen and releases carbon dioxide in the lungs and the Respiratory system also take oxygen in and releases carbon dioxide. The circulatory system and respiratory system work hand in hand. The brain or nervous system monitors gas or oxygen level in blood and regulates respiratory rate.
