Compound microscope is commonly used in the schools and colleges. It comes under the category of microscopes used in biology. It has two lenses namely the objective lens and the ocular lens. It provides a magnification of 1500X. Eyepiece lens is of 10X or 15X power. It is used to observe bacterial, protozoa, various cells, etc.

Dissecting Microscope It is also called stereo microscope. Its magnification power is less than the other microscope. It gives a 3 dimensional picture. Due to the low magnifying power they are used to observe little bigger objects than other microscopes. They are used in the surgeries, dissection, forensic science etc.

<em>Answer:</em>

C: Both are light microscopes, but the compound light microscope has a higher magnification than the dissecting microscope.

<em>Explanation:</em>

The Dissecting microscope is a light microscope and so is the compound light microscope. The Dissecting Microscope can zoom up to 40 times the size of the organism while the compound light microscope can zoom  up to 400 times the size and sometimes 1000 times the size of the organism.

Population characteristics and issues​
kow [346]

Answer:

Density, dispersion, growth

Explanation

Population refers to the total number of all members of a species occupying a particular area or habitat at a given time. Populations are not static but change in size, structure and organization. Some of the characteristics of population are:

  • Density which refers to the number of members of a species per unit area or volume.
  • Dispersion refers to the spread and distribution of individuals of a species within a habitat.
  • Growth is the rate of increase or decrease in the number of individuals in a population which is balanced by birth rate and death rate.

The issues that affect population include competition, predation, emigration, diseases and parasites.

A closed metal container that is filled with hot water gets distorted or compressed when it is kept under the tap water. Why?
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The closed metal container will get distorted or compressed due to a combination of two reasons:

1.<em> contraction of the metal container as a result of a reduction in its temperature.</em>

2. <em>a reduction in the pressure inside the container caused by a sudden drop in the temperature of the water inside it. </em>

The tap water causes a reduction in the temperature of both the container and the water inside it. An increase in temperature causes metal to expand and a reduction in temperature causes it to contract. Also, water takes less space than steam. Therefore, a reduction in the temperature of the hot water causes a reduction in the pressure inside the container relative to the outside. This causes the metal container to be compressed.
