Answer: Peroxisome

Explanation:

A peroxisome is a membrane-bound organelle usually found in the cytoplasm of almost all eukaryotic cells. It is an oxidative organelle.

Eukaryotes are comprised of one or more cells that contain peroxisomes. The organelles were first discovered by the Belgian scientist Christian de Duve, who was same person that discovered lysosomes.

Peroxisomes contain a variety of enzymes, which primarily function together to get rid of toxic substances in the cell, and in particular, hydrogen peroxide which a common byproduct of cellular metabolism. These organelles contain enzymes that convert the hydrogen peroxide to water, making it remain safe in order to be released back into the cell. Some types of peroxisomes, such as those in liver cells, detoxify alcohol and several other harmful compounds by transferring hydrogen from the poisons to molecules of oxygen (known as oxidation). Other perixosomes are more important for their ability to initiate the production of phospholipids, which are typically used in the formation of membranes.

What is the objective lens used to locate the specimen and first focus?
Mandarinka [93]
Course alteration is the first to be utilized to find the example, and just with the low power objective. When seeing an example, you should dependably utilize the lower control target focal points first. Low power focal point gives the most stretched out field of view and makes it less demanding to discover the example when you look through the magnifying lens. Finding the example at high power, without first focusing it in the field of view at low power, is almost outlandish.

certain substances are placed in the beaker in given picture if the following items are placed in a water filled beaker then sta
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

1. gravel of the sand: a part is dissolved and the remainder is grouped at the bottom of the beaker.

2. drop of sunflower oil: It is not absorbed and heaps on the surface of the water contained in the beaker.

Explanation:

Gravel of the sand is a polar substance. This means that this substance has the ability to dissolve and mix with water in a system in which both were placed together, such as a beaker, for example. However, the beaker limits the amount of water, which limits its ability to dissolve polar substances. Therefore, depending on the quantity, the gravel of the sand, when placed in a beaker with water, will dissolve, in parts, what is not dissolved will accumulate in the bottom of the beacker, because the gravel of the sand is denser than the water.

With the drop of sunflower oil the exact opposite happens. This is because drops of oil are nonpolar substances, which means that they do not have the ability to be dissolved in water. This means that when dropped into the beaker with water, the drop of sunflower oil will not dissolve, but will pile up on the water surface, because it is less dense than water.
