<span>Anton van Leeuwenhoek learned to grind lenses ( 1668) and develop simple microscopes.

</span>

Leeuwenhoek heated the middle of a small soda glass rod , over a flame. On pulling apart the two ends, the glass rod elongated into thin whiskers . 
Heating the end of this whisker resulted in a tiny high quality glass sphere. These glass spheres then became the lens of his microscope, with the smallest sphere providing the greatest magnification.

Leeuwenhoek's designs were very basic. The body of the microscope was a single lens mounted in a tiny hole on a brass plate. The specimen was then mounted on a sharp point that sticks up in front of the lens. It's position and focus could be adjusted by turning the two screws.

The entire instrument was about 3 to 4 inches long and had to be held up close to the eye, requiring good lighting and great patience to use.

1)magnification goes by 10x (read 10 times), 100x,1000x and some goes 10,000x 

2)Always focus first using lowest power possible first, switch to medium power (100x) after it's focused on low power(10x), on 100x, use the small knob to focus it more. DO NOT touch the bigger nob when in medium or high power. Switch to high power (100x) when it is focused on medium power, again focus again using the small knob on high power. 

3) So it doesn't gather dust and fog up the lense? that one should be self explanatory

You plug in an extension cord and have to be very careful around the electrical outlet. However, you can handle the extension co

You can not worry about being shocked due to the cord being insulated not allowing the voltage to go through you but the cord

Which processes are involved in the chloroplast of a plant cell?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

Chloroplast absorbs sunlight and it is used to make feed for the plant together with water and carbon dioxide gas. Chloroplasts are used to generate the free energy stored in ATP and NADPH via a photosynthesis process.

Explanation:

The site of photosynthesis action is chloroplast within a plant cell consisting of two chlorophyll molecules (PS1 and PS2), which have been embedded in the thylakoid membranes. The chloroplast consists of two chlorophyll molecules (photosynthetic pigments responsible for the green color of chloroplast). Each chlorophyll molecule absorbs light, caused to depart the chlorophyll molecules. This absorbs two electrons from each phenotype. PS2 electrons pass through the transportation chain for electron carriers, a series of redox reactions that release the energy used to synthesize ATP via Photophosphorylation/Chemiosmose (as the H+ ions diffuse through the stalked particles ATP, which changes the shape and catalysts, the electrochemical gradient diffuses down through the stalky particle ATP synthase).

Then these electrons replace the electrons lost in PS1. PS2 electron is replaced by photolysis electron, which when light strikes chloroplast, splitting the water into oxygen gas, H+ ions, and electron enzymes in the thylakoid space are catalyzed. The PS1 electrons combine to create NADPH with H+ ions and NADP (reduced NADP). These are the light-dependent photosynthetic reactions in chloroplasts. In the light-independent reactions, the NADPH and ATP are created. A pile of thylakoids is known as granum.

The light-independent processes take happen in the stroma. This is the site of carbon fixation; CO2 reacts with RUBP to generate GP (glycerate-3-phosphate) which is catalyzed by the enzyme RUBISCO (the most abundant enzyme in the world) (the most abundant enzyme in the world). The NADPH and ATP from the light-dependent processes convert GP to GALP (glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate). Two out of every 12 GALP molecules produced are used to synthesize glucose that can be employed either in breathing or in cellulose-forming condensation polymerization to add extra strength to the planted cell wall. The other GALP molecules are returned to RUBP.

svetlana [45]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. It is the alveoli that is composed of single layer <span>surrounded by a network of capillaries. These are used to allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to move from the lungs to the bloodstream.</span>
