Explain, in your own words, how you would use the light microscope to view a wet mount of a protist, assuming the microscope is

plugged in and that the light source is on. Please use at least the following 9 structures in your description and underline them as you use them: stage, stage clip(s), stage knob(s), eyepiece, scanning objective lens, low power objective lens, high power objective lens, coarse focus knob, and fine focus knob.

Answer:

Please find the detailed explanation/description on how to use the light microscope to view a wet mount of a protist. The 9 structures mentioned in the question are in CAPS.

Explanation:

- Firstly, the slide containing the wet mount of the protist is prepared and placed at the centre of a lowered STAGE. The STAGE CLIPS over the sides of the slide are used to hold it in place.

- The revolving turret or nosepiece is turned so that the LOWEST POWER OBJECTIVE LENS is in position i.e. directly above the sample/slide. The SCANNING OBJECTIVE LENS, the lowest objective lens with power of 4x is used initially.

- The slide is viewed through the EYEPIECE, and the image is brought into focus using the STAGE KNOBS.

- The COARSE FOCUS KNOB is turned until the protist on the slide is brought into broad focus. The FINE FOCUS KNOB is then used to bring the image on the slide into sharp focus.

N.B: The OBJECTIVE LENS should not touch the cover slip on the slide during this process.

- When the protist on the slide is clear using lowest power objective lens, the revolver turret can be rotated to allow HIGHER POWER OBJECTIVE LENS.

- Due to higher magnification of the HIGH POWER OBJECTIVE LENS, the protist might need to be refocused using the FOCUS KNOBS.

Why does conduction occur more easily in solids and liquids, than in gases?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Because liquids and solids are denser than gasses.

Explanation:

Solids and liquids are denser than gasses making it easier for things like sound to conduct through them. Being dense contributes to a better conduction because the particles and such within the solid or liquid are closer together which allows for things like sound to travel at a much faster rate because they're so much easier to vibrate.

What scientific hypothesis could be used to support the theory that Wood Thrush decreases are not due to deforestation? could it
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

A scientific hypothesis can be described as a tentative statement which can either proved to be right or wrong through the support of the experiments being performed.

The possible hypothesis for the theory that Wood Thrush decreases are not due to deforestation can be as follows:

<em>'If the population of the Wood Thrush is not affected by deforestation, then the population of the Wood Thrush will remain the same when deforestation occurs in a particular area.' </em>

ValentinkaMS [17]

 The right option is Courtship

Courtship is a behavior in which different species interact and select their partners for mating which leads to reproduction. Most times, the female specie chooses the desired male to mate with before copulation.  Various behaviours such as display of strength, dancing and vocal utterance are often used during courtship. For the question given above,<span>the type of behavior displayed by the species of balloon flies is an example of courtship.

Genes, which are the molecular units of heredity, are composed of specific sequences of four different__________.
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Nucleotide bases.

Explanation:

Unique sequences of bases makes up a nucleotide. These nucleotide sequencing are used by DNA as a genetic code of information that determines type of cells, proteins and the whole organismal structure.

There are four nucleotide bases, Adenine and guanine termed purines are big, cytosine and thymine called pyrimidines are small. A purine pairs with a pyrimidine, such that adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine. The bases are the same but each DNA uniqueness lies in the sequence of base pairing.
