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.

Which process produces four genetically different gamete cells?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction.

Classify each statement as an example of adhesion, cohesion, or surface tension. Drag each statement to the appropriate bin. A s
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

A sewing needle floats when it is placed gently on top of water in a bucket - surface tension

Water molecules ding to plant cell walls - adhesion

A water strider runs across a pond without breaking the surface - surface tension

A drop of water spilled on a table forms a drop on the table, rather than spreading out over the surface - cohesion

Water molecules cling to the side of a beaker - adhesion

Water molecules are attracted to each other - cohesion

Explanation:

The surface tension refers to the tendency of the surface of a liquid to remain unbroken by an external force due to the cohesive property of the molecules of the liquid. Instead of being broken, the surface of the liquid stretches like an elastic membrane.

The adhesive property of a liquid, also known as the force of adhesion, refers to the property of the molecules of the liquid to stick to other molecules while cohesive property or cohesion refers to the property of molecules of liquids to stick to themselves.

Hence,

<u>Surface tension</u>

  • A sewing needle floats when it is placed gently on top of water in a bucket.
  • A water strider runs across a pond without breaking the surface.

<u>Cohesion</u>

  • A drop of water spilled on a table forms a drop on the table, rather than spreading out over the surface.
  • Water molecules are attracted to each other.

<u>Adhesion</u>

  • Water molecules ding to plant cell walls
  • Water molecules cling to the side of a beaker

Order the steps through which atp synthesis occurs during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis in plants.
Bogdan [553]

1. Energy from the Sun ejects electrons from chlorophyll and splits water molecules to yield hydrogen ions.

Pigments inside the photosystems absorb light energy. Energy is transferred to reaction center, where electron is boosted at higher level. Electron is then passed to an acceptor molecule, replaced with an electron from H2O. and O2 is released.

2. Electrons move down the electron transport chain, releasing energy that pumps hydrogen ions into the thylakoid space

Electron releases energy because it goes from a higher to a lower energy level.

3. The concentration of hydrogen ions in the thylakoid space increase

Released energy of electrons drives pumping of hydrogen ions from the stroma into the thylakoid interior, building a proton gradient.

4. Hydrogen ions diffuse across the thylakoid membrane into the stroma through ATP synthase.

The only way for hydrogen ions to move down the gradient is through ATP synthase.

5. ATP synthase uses the energy released as hydrogen ions move from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration to make ATP.  

ATP synthase is an enzyme that use proton gradient to make ATP from ADP and Pi.
