Answer:

Menisci are the semi-lunar fibrous cartilage of the knee which could be either medial meniscus or radial meniscus. The meniscus in humans is present in the joints of the knee, sternoclavicular joints, wrist and temporomandibular joints.

These menisci play important roles in these joints as they reduce the friction caused by the bones during movement. They also disperse the weight of the body of the humans as they spread the load of the weight of the body to different bones like the femur and tibia.

A student prepared a slide of pollen grains from a flower. First the pollen was viewed through the low-power objective lens and
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

(2) low power: 100 small pollen grains

high power: 25 large pollen grains

Explanation:

Compound light microscopes are devices used to greatly magnify objects. They have several objective lenses, a low-power lens magnifies 10 times (10X) the objects, and the high-power lens magnifies them 40 times (40X).

For that reason, when observing the pollen grains with the high-power lens the student will see them bigger than with the low-power lens. However, the field of view (the visible area through a lens) is reduced when a higher power lens is used, so fewer pollen grains will be seen.

The answer therefore is the option of higher number of pollen grains of small size for the low-power lens, and lower number of pollen grains of larger size for the high-power lens.
