Why do you have to determine the total magnification when observing a specimen under the compound microscope?

Biology

IceJOKER [234]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

To clearly see specimens under the microscope, and to be able to see two separate objects that are close together.

Explanation:

A microscope is a tool that makes an object look bigger so that the person who is looking at it can see it. It's important to use a microscope because cells are usually too small to see with the naked eye. In addition to magnification, microscopes also have resolution, which is the ability to see two objects that are close together as separate. A microscope needs both magnification and resolution to be able to clearly see specimens under the microscope. When the light microscope bends light at the specimen, it gives the viewer a clear picture of the specimen. A series of lenses do this.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The product of glycolysis is two molecules of pyruvate. It is a three-carbon compound. This pyruvate again undergoes oxidation in the cytoplasm. This process is called pyruvate oxidation which produces Acetyl CoA. The Acetyl CoA is a two-carbon molecule.

Acetyl CoA again used for the citric acid cycle. This is also called as Kreb's cycle / TCA cycle. Because citric acid has 3 carboxylic groups. The acetyl coenzyme produces NADH, FADH2, ATP. The citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondrial membrane. This is an 8 step process. The first product is citric acid. The other products of each step are isocitrate, alpha-ketoglutarate, succinyl CoA, succinate, Fumarate, L - malate, and Oxaloacetate (OAA).

Another process of aerobic respiration is the electron transport chain ( ETS). Here the energy stored in NADH, FADH2 in the citric acid cycle are utilized. It is a chain of electron carriers. ETS occurs in the inner membrane of mitochondria.  

In short, the glucose splits by glycolysis and produces ATP, NADPH, and final product pyruvate. The pyruvate is oxidized and forms acetyle coenzyme. This is used in the TCA / citric acid cycle. In this process also NADH, FADH2 which forms electrons are produced. Theses electrons are carried by different electron carriers and accepted by oxygen.

In the process of pyruvate oxidation 6 ATP, and in Kreb's cycle 18 ATPs, in ETS, 4 ATPs are produced. In addition to this in glycolysis produces 4 ATPs. The total number of ATP in aerobic respiration is 32 ATP.

Lena [83]

Answer:

light

Explanation:

The above experiment is an investigation on the factors that affect photosynthesis which include carbon dioxide concentration,light intensity and quality,chlorophyll, water and temperature.Light was the independent variable. When the lant is moved to an area where light intensity is low, the rate of photosynthesis decreases.

After the experiment, oxygen gas is produced being a by-product of photosynthesis. Plants that are not adapted to an aquatic environment are not suitable for this experiment. The amount of carbon dioxide dissolved in water is low.

aev [14]

Answer:

b. How does food yield energy?

Explanation:

The main question is how energy is produced from food such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins etc. First the carbohydrate is converted into glucose molecule and then glucose is absorbed by the cell and is broken down in the mitochondria of the cell with the addition of oxygen and generate energy in the form of adenine tri phosphate. All the scientists wants to know that how a food is converted into energy.
