A food is something that provides nutrients. Nutrients are substances that provide: energy for activity, growth, and all functions of the body such as breathing, digesting food, and keeping warm; materials for the growth and repair of the body, and for keeping the immune system healthy.

Compare and contrast light microscopes, scanning electron microscopes, and transmission electron microscopes. Sort each statemen

podryga [215]

Answer:

Light microscope:

use a beam of light to produce magnified images
can be used to examine living cells and tissues

Scanning electron microscope:

use a beam of electrons to produce magnified images
can be used to examine DNA
can be used to examine cells

Transmission electron microscope:

use a beam of electrons to produce magnified images
can be used to examine DNA
can be used to examine cells

Explanation:

Light microscope: is a commonly used microscope also known as compound microscope. Magnifies images from 40X upto 1000X. It uses ray of visible light to produce a magnified image. The light microscope can be used to view specimen of both living and dead cells or tissues. However, it doesn't give a detailed view of a specimen like electron microscope.

Scanning electron microscope: It uses electron beam as an illuminating source. It has a much higher resolving power than light microscope because it uses electrons instead of light. It magnifies object upto 500000 times the actual size. Internal structures can also be viewed. However, only dead specimen can be used because the beam of electrons can kill the cells. They are of two types:

Scanning electron microscope(SEM): an electron beam passes over the specimen's surface and displaces electrons which are then focused on a screen to form an image. Images appear in 3-D
Transmission electron microscope: electromagnets magnify the image by passing beam of electrons through a thin specimen. Images appear in 2-D

1. What is a control and how does a scientist use it in a controlled experiment? control

Nata [24]

A control is a experimental variable that is kept constant or unchanged during an experiment. During a controlled experiment, the controlled variables are held constant to minimize or stabilize their effects on the subject, its unchanging state allows the relationship between the other variables being tested to be better understood.
