Ibn al-Haytham was the first to explain that vision occurs when light reflects from an object and then passes to one's eyes. He was also the first to demonstrate that vision occurs in the brain, rather than in the eyes. Building upon a naturalistic, empirical method pioneered by Aristotle in ancient Greece, Ibn al-Haytham was an early proponent of the concept that a hypothesis must be supported by experiments based on confirmable procedures or mathematical evidence—an early pioneer in the scientific method five centuries before Renaissance scientists.

Born in Basra, he spent most of his productive period in the Fatimid capital of Cairo and earned his living authoring various treatises and tutoring members of the nobilities. Ibn al-Haytham is sometimes given the byname al-Baṣrī after his birthplace, or al-Miṣrī ("of Egypt"). Al-Haytham was dubbed the "Second Ptolemy" by Abu'l-Hasan Bayhaqi and "The Physicist" by John Peckham.Ibn al-Haytham paved the way for the modern science of physical optics.

What is the difference between DNA pol 3 core and holoenzyme?

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Essentially there is not an answer. There are two different definitions.

A holoenzyme is an enzyme that needs to be together with a cofactor(s), required for activity.

In some cases, enzymes constituted by several subunits (like DNA polymerase 3) are call holoenzyme as well, because it will only perform correctly when all its subunits are present.

What is the form of lipids, protein and carbohydrate that can be absorbed through small intestine?

Digiron [165]

All carbohydrates are absorbed in the form of monosaccharides. The small intestine is highly efficient at this, absorbing monosaccharides at an estimated rate of 120 grams per hour. All normally digested dietary carbohydrates are absorbed; indigestible fibers are eliminated in the feces.

explain what safety measures you might take to avoid damaging the microscope, microscope slide, or a living specimen on your mic

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Some of the safety measures one can take to prevent damage to the microscope, microscope slide or living specimen include;

1. Always carry the microscope with two hands

2. Do not touch the microscope lens

3. Clean and store properly after using

Explanation:

1. Microscopes are delicate laboratory equipments and hence, should be handled with care. The proper way to handle or carry a microscope is to place one hand on the arm and the other below the base of the microscope. This will prevent the microscope from hitting something and getting damaged or something falling off.

2. The lens, either the objective or occular, is what makes visibility of any specimen possible. It shouldn't be mishandled by touching it or using inappropriate materials to clean it. A lens cleanser designed for that function should be used.

3. After use, the microscope should be cleaned thoroughly and stored in a dry place. The maintenance of the microscope will improve how long it will last.
