I'm not sure what kind of answer you're looking for, but due to the great amount of sunlight, there's lots of energy in rainforests. That energy is stored in plant vegetation, which gets eaten by animals. The canopy of the rainforest also provides many places for animals to live and plants to grow. It also provides interactions between species. For example, t<span>here are some plants in the canopy called bromeliads. Frogs and some other animals use these for hunting & laying their eggs.</span>
Solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas: these words should be quite familiar to you because they are the four phases of matter, which are simply the different forms matter can take on. What's neat is that many substances can exist as more than one phase. Take water, for example: water can exist as a solid (ice), a liquid (liquid water), and a gas (water vapor).
The difference between these states is the amount of energy. Solids have the least amount of energy, which is part of why their particles hang so tightly together. Liquids have more energy than solids, which is why they will take on the shape of their container but only up to the surface.
Gases have even more energy than liquids. So much more in fact that their particles spread out to fill the entire space of their container. Gas particles have so much energy that they just can't keep still. They fly around in all directions, putting as much distance as possible between themselves and the rest of the gas particles.
Plasmas are ionized gases, and in their natural form are uncommon on Earth. You've seen them as man-made things, like neon signs and fluorescent light bulbs. But in the rest of the universe, plasma is actually the most common phase of matter! Most stars are plasma, as are the northern lights you see around the Polar Regions. Plasma only exists under certain conditions though, so we'll end our discussion of it here for this lesson.
A hypothesis is only useful when it contains a prediction on the outcome of the experiment or test.
Turn the revolving turret (2) so that the lowest power objective lens (eg. 4x) is clicked into position.
Place the microscope slide on the stage (6) and fasten it with the stage clips.
Look at the objective lens (3) and the stage from the side and turn the focus knob (4) so the stage moves upward. Move it up as far as it will go without letting the objective touch the coverslip.
Look through the eyepiece (1) and move the focus knob until the image comes into focus.
Adjust the condenser (7) and light intensity for the greatest amount of light.
Move the microscope slide around until the sample is in the centre of the field of view (what you see).
Use the focus knob (4) to place the sample into focus and readjust the condenser (7) and light intensity for the clearest image (with low power objectives you might need to reduce the light intensity or shut the condenser).
When you have a clear image of your sample with the lowest power objective, you can change to the next objective lenses. You might need to readjust the sample into focus and/or readjust the condenser and light intensity. If you cannot focus on your specimen, repeat steps 3 through 5 with the higher power objective lens in place. Do not let the objective lens touch the slide!
When finished, lower the stage, click the low power lens into position and remove the slide.
Your microscope slide should be prepared with a coverslip over the sample to protect the objective lenses if they touch the slide.
Do not touch the glass part of the lenses with your fingers. Use only special lens paper to clean the lenses.
Always keep your microscope covered when not in use.
Always carry a microscope with both hands. Grasp the arm with one hand and place the other hand under the base for support.
Answer:
True. This is the case where an invasive species has reduced the genetic diversity of indigenous species.
Explanation:
- An invasive species is an exotic, foreign species that takes over a specific habitat or ecosystem and destabilizes it.
- Invasive species disrupt the food chains of an ecosystem which may lead to increase in populations of some species while reducing others.
- Invasive species compete with indigenous species for food, shelter and mates. As the indigenous species cannot reproduce properly, a reduction in their genetic diversity is the direct result.
