Answer:
a. All the laboratory equipment given are very basic equipment used in all the laboratories. Name of each equipment is as follows:
- V refers to the tape measure.
- W refers to dropper.
- X refers to an inoculating loop.
- Y refers to a stopwatch.
- Z refers to the microscope.
b. Use of each laboratory equipment identified is:
- Tape measures (V) is used to measure the length of objects or distance in a laboratory.
- Dropper (W) is used to measure unit of drop required to dispensed as one drop or several drops in any experiment.
- Inoculating loop (X) is used by microbiologists to cultivate microbes on plates and retrieving an inoculum from a culture of microorganisms.
- Stopwatch (Y) is used to measure the time of any experiment.
- Microscope (Z) is used to magnify an object to look at it in detail.
I believe the answer is C, 3
Answer:
No
Explanation:
She will not be able to measure the length of her window accurately due to instrumental error from her choice of instrument. The elastic nature of her tape would alter the measurement because it will stretch as she is taking her readings, thus reducing the true measurement of the length of her window.
To measure the length of her window, she could use an inelastic tape rule or a metre rule. These instruments would eliminate instrumental error.
