Science

Identify the parts of the Microscope and their functions.

1. Body tube - hollow tube that keeps the lenses of the ocular and objectives at
a set Distance.

2. Revolving Nosepiece - holds objectives

3. Low power objective – the power of the microscope to enlarge the image of
an object

4. Medium power objective – the power of the microscope to enlarge the image
of an object

5. High power objective – the power of the microscope to enlarge the image of
an object

6. Stage clips - keep specimen/slide tight against stage

7. Diaphragm - controls amount of light that reaches your eye

8. Light source - provides light to create the image that you see

9. Ocular (eye piece) - contains lenses that contribute to total magnification

10. Arm – supports the body tube.

11. Stage - structure that supports specimen/slide over stage opening

12. Coarse adjustment knob - larger knob, that moves 1 of 3 structures (body
tube, nosepiece, or stage)

13. Fine adjustment knob - smaller knob, moves the objectives slightly and allows
for fine focusing

14. Base - supports entire microscope

How can you define a living organism? list down all the characteristics that
showcase an organism is a living thing and explain it in your own words.

Characteristics of Life:
Reproduction - Two different cells unite to produce another cell and creates a new
organism.

Energy processing - All living organisms get energy from their environment.

Response to the Environment - anything with the environment that causes a response.

Homeostasis - It allows their body to regulate the different functions in their body to
survive.

Growth and development - Physical growth is an increase in size.

Composed of cells - A cell is the smallest unit that is typically considered as alive.

Evolution and adaptation - This refers to the changes that occur in organisms as the
organisms interact with their environment.

What is the key difference between offspring that were produced from Sexual
reproduction and Asexual reproduction?

The two methods of reproduction among animals are the Sexual reproduction and
Asexual reproduction. The difference between sexual and asexual reproduction. Sexual
reproduction just means combining genetic from two parents. Asexual reproduction
produces offspring genetic parent.
IV. Arrange the levels of Biological Organization from the smallest unit of life until
to the largest. Give examples for each level.

Atoms - Neon (Ne), Hydrogen (H), Argon (Ar)

Molecules - H2O (water), N2 (nitrogen)

Organelles - nucleus, plastids, mitochondria

Cells – Blood cells, bone cells, muscle cells

Tissues - connective tissue, epithelial tissue, nervous tissue

Organs – Skeletal, Digestive, Muscular

Organ systems - respiratory system, excretory system, circulatory system

Organisms – Bacteria, Consumers, Predators

Population - over eight million people living in New York City

Community – Religious community, business community

Ecosystem - Freshwater Ecosystems

Biome – grassland

Biosphere - Tropical rainforests

what happens as the power of the magnification increases?

The detail of the cell increases but less of the cell is seen.
