List three types of specimens a dissecting microscope might be used to view.

Biology

1. Simple optical microscope. One lens.
Disadvantage: Only Van Leeuwenhoek made them, and he's dead.
Advantage: Worked pretty well. With them, Van Leeuwenhoek discovered protozoa and bacteria.

2. Compound optical microscope. Has both an ocular and objective lens.
Disadvantage: limited resolution. Can resolve bacteria, but not smaller things like viruses.
Advantage: can be used with live specimens (using phase contrast or polarized or other special illumination).

3. Binocular dissecting microscope (optic). Has a pair of ocular and objective lenses, and supposedly presents a "3D" view of the specimen to the viewer (I was never able to see in 3D using these darn things).
Disadvantage: Limited magnification
Advantage: Can be used to perform surgery on small but not microscopic specimens, such as fruit flies. Is used in "microsurgery" in hospitals too.

Hope this helps buddy!

Answer:

The three types of specimens a dissecting microscope are as follows:

  1. Optical Microscopes.
  2. Electron Microscopes.
  3. Scanning Probe Microscopes.
  • Optical microscopes are the oldest and the simplest microscope it uses a single convex lens to enlarges the image placed under its focus.
  • Electron Microscope is used by scientists to study cell, this microscope fire beams of electrons on the subject which is held in the vacuum-sealed tubes.
  • Scanning probe microscopy is a powerful microscope, it can detect matters smaller than the nano-meter however its images have no color because it uses probe measure things other than visible light.

Limestone formations in caves are considered what kind of weathering
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Chemical weathering

Explanation:

Caves are formed by the dissolution of limestone. Rainwater picks up carbon dioxide from the air and as it percolates through the soil, which turns into a weak acid. This slowly dissolves out the limestone along the joints, bedding planes and fractures, some of which become enlarged enough to form caves.

Chemical weathering involves the decomposition of rocks due to chemical reactions between minerals such as calcite with water and gases in the atmosphere (e.g. carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide). The solution of soluble minerals is particularly important in limestone landscapes.

Solutional caves or karst caves are the most frequently occurring caves. Such caves form in rock that is soluble; most occur in limestone, but they can also form in other rocks including chalk, dolomite, marble, salt, and gypsum.

Essentially, water reacts with carbon-dioxide to form carbonic acid. It then seeps slowly through the roof of the cave, depositing calcium carbonate, which hardens and builds up over time to form a stalactite.

According to the endosymbiotic theory, which cellular process was involved in the evolution of mitochondria and chloroplasts?
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

This process would be the one truly responsible for the "evolution" of mitochondria and chloroplasts as we know them from their prokaryotic ancestors. The cell process that would have initiated endosymbiosis is endocytosis; the process of taking things inside the cell

Describe the passage of a meal containing bread through your digestive system
Alex777 [14]

Before your food passes from the mouth and down your esophagus, salivary amylase, an enzyme in saliva, begins to digest the starch in your bread. That is the start of chemical digestion. ... The passage of the bolus through the esophagus to the stomach occurs by peristalsis, a series of wave-like muscle contractions.
