Your biology teacher asks you to do the impossible, you must measure the diameter of one algae cell. You are about to turn in a

blank lab report when you friend comes and says it's an easy task. At 40x your field of view is .50mm or 500um, If you look carefully you can see 15 algae cells spanning the field of view. The diameter of one algae cell is approximately
 A) 0.03um
 B) 1.50 um
 C)3.00um
  D)33.3um

Answer: D) 33.3\mu\text{m}

Explanation:

If we assume the shape of algae cell is round or sphere.

Given: The total number of algae cells spanning the field of view = 15

At 40x field of view is 0.50\text{ mm or }500\mu\text{m}

To calculate the diameter of one algae we need to divide 500\mu\text{m} by the total number algae calls spanning the field , we get

The diameter of one algae cell :

\dfrac{500\mu\text{m}}{15}=33.33333333\mu\text{m}\approx33.3\mu\text{m}

Hence, the diameter of one algae cell \approx33.3\mu\text{m}

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The field of view is 0.50 mm or 500um.

Thus, if this span of view has 15 algae cells then these algae cells are arranged in linear order adjacent to each other.

Hence the sum of diameter of all fifteen algaes is equal to 500um

Now , the actual size of view

= 500 um

sum of diameter of 15 algae = 500um

Diameter of one algae cell is equal to \frac{500}{15} \\= 33.33um

Hence, option D is correct

Which sensory system(s) have receptors which die after awhile because it/they have direct exposure to the environment?\?
Anika [276]
The OLFACTORY AND THE GUSTATORY SYSTEMS have receptors which die out after sometimes because of direct exposure to the environment.
The olfactory system has to do with the perception of smell while the gustatory system has to do with taste stimuli. For these two basic sense organs, their perception rate is always highest when they are newly exposed to a stimuli, after continuous exposure to the stimuli their receptors die out.

The Hawaiian Islands are home to many endangered species. Why do you think the Hawaii Department of Agriculture is so strict abo
PtichkaEL [24]

The correct answer is C. It is so strict because a foreign species could compete with a native species and drive it to extinction.

The Hawaiian islands are one of the geographical isolated islands which faces the problem of the invasive species affecting the biodiversity of the island negatively.

The foreign species is equipped better to survive in the Hawaiian habitat and competes with the native species for the resources and food. The interaction and competition of the foreign species in the Hawaiian environment and habitat limits the resources for native species which increases the chance of the native species getting endangered.

The Hawaii Invasive Species Council along with other bodies such as department of agriculture, department of business and economic development, private and other government and non-government bodies have taken initiatives towards eradication of invasive species by strict laws.

Vanyuwa [196]
Small pox vaccines can only be tested on humans, however Bc the flu can replicate in pigs, scientists can tests vaccines on pigs. Since there are two means in which it can spread, scientists must be aware of the genetic difference between humans and pigs and act accordingly. Influenza vaccines might have greater success rates Bc of their ability to test the efficiency of their vaccines on pigs in comparison to small pox vaccines which can only be tested on humans.

Hope this helps!
