5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Analogy refers to traits or structures like body shapes, fins which evolved independently that are similar in organisms that are not related by the same common ancestor. For example dolphins and shark have similar body structures like fins but they are unrelated. Whale and shark too. Whales are mammals, sharks are fish.

Homology refers to traits or structures

posses by organisms that are related by common ancestors. Example wolf and whales.....they are both mammals.

If the force exerted on a sled is 100 N and the mass of the sled is 50 kg, what is the acceleration of the sled?
Anna35 [415]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

acceleration= 2 m/s²

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

From the second Newton's Law of motion the resultant force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum.

That is;

F = ma

Thus; F = 100 N, m = 50 kg

a = F/m

  = 100/50

  = 2 m/s²

What are the differences between a light microscope and a scanning electron microscope?
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

There is a great difference between light and scanning electron microscope. The source of illumination is light rays in light microscope while in scanning electron microscope electrons are the source of illumination.

The resolving and magnification power of scanning electron microscope is much greater than that of a light microscope. The magnifying power of a light microscope is 1000X and of electron microscope is 10,00,000X.

In light microscope image is seen through the eyepiece while in scanning electron microscope it is seen on a fluorescent screen. Even small specimens up to 0.1 micrometers can be seen by scanning electron microscope which is not possible to see by light microscope.

Match the following. 1. the basic building block of all forms of life resolving power 2. the idea of Schleiden and Schwann that
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

1. Cell

2. cell theory

3. Organismal theory

4. resolving power

Explanation:

The cell is the smallest known unit of all living organisms. They are called the building blocks of life. An organism can be unicellular (made up of one cell) or multi-cellular (made up of many cells).

2. Cell theory was formulated and developed  by Schleiden, Schwann, and Virchow. They are considered as the basic principles of biology.

It states:

1. Living organisms are made up of cells.

2. Cells are the basic unit of life.

3. Cells are formed from pre-existing cells.

4. Energy flows inside the cell.

5. DNA is passed on from cell to cell.

6. All cells have the same basic chemical composition.

3. Organismal theory is the intended counter-argument of the cell theory. It was developed by Reichert, Strasberger, Sherrington, and Pavlov. It argues that the basic unit of life is the organism itself, suggesting that an organism came about from a cell that expanded.

4. Resolving power is the ability of an optical instrument like a microscope or a telescope to view objects that are close together as separate, abling the viewer to distinguish the two from each other.
