Explain, in your own words, how you would use the light microscope to view a wet mount of a protist, assuming the microscope is

plugged in and that the light source is on. Please use at least the following 9 structures in your description and underline them as you use them: stage, stage clip(s), stage knob(s), eyepiece, scanning objective lens, low power objective lens, high power objective lens, coarse focus knob, and fine focus knob.

Answer:

Please find the detailed explanation/description on how to use the light microscope to view a wet mount of a protist. The 9 structures mentioned in the question are in CAPS.

Explanation:

- Firstly, the slide containing the wet mount of the protist is prepared and placed at the centre of a lowered STAGE. The STAGE CLIPS over the sides of the slide are used to hold it in place.

- The revolving turret or nosepiece is turned so that the LOWEST POWER OBJECTIVE LENS is in position i.e. directly above the sample/slide. The SCANNING OBJECTIVE LENS, the lowest objective lens with power of 4x is used initially.

- The slide is viewed through the EYEPIECE, and the image is brought into focus using the STAGE KNOBS.

- The COARSE FOCUS KNOB is turned until the protist on the slide is brought into broad focus. The FINE FOCUS KNOB is then used to bring the image on the slide into sharp focus.

N.B: The OBJECTIVE LENS should not touch the cover slip on the slide during this process.

- When the protist on the slide is clear using lowest power objective lens, the revolver turret can be rotated to allow HIGHER POWER OBJECTIVE LENS.

- Due to higher magnification of the HIGH POWER OBJECTIVE LENS, the protist might need to be refocused using the FOCUS KNOBS.

After DNA replication is completed, _____. After DNA replication is completed, _____. one DNA double helix consists of two old s
nlexa [21]

Answer:

each new DNA double helix consists of one old DNA strand and one new DNA strand

Explanation:

DNA replication is a semi-conservative process which means a new DNA duplex contains one old DNA strand and one new DNA strand because each DNA strand act as a template strand over which a complementary new DNA strand is made.

So after the completion of DNA replication, each new DNA double helix consists of an old strand of DNA and a new DNA strand. After the replication, only one strand is used for transcription. In RNA formation uracil comes in place of thymine.

How do structures in living organisms compare with structures of nonliving things such as construction cranes, buildings, ships,
hjlf
For the answer to the question above, there is no such thing as a non-living organism. Because organisms are only a term for living things.

1. Cellular structure: all living organisms generally have a cellular structure i.e., they are made up of one or more cells. 
<span>The protoplasm is the physical basis of life. </span>

<span>There is no such fundamental and structural unit called cell in non-living things. </span>

<span>2. metabolism : The various life processes taking place within the body of an organism is collectively termed metabolism. The metabolic processes can occur only in living organisms and not in nonliving things. </span>

<span>3. growth, repair and death : Growth consists of the living organism absorbing materials entirely different from those that make up its body and convert them into body building substances. Growth in non-living substances such as crystal is at the cost of material similar to that of which it consists. Same substance is added without conversion. </span>
<span>The growth is permanent, irreversible process in living organisms but can be reversed in non-living things. </span>
<span>Growth is different in different parts of the body of an organism. Growth is uniform throughout in the non-living things. </span>

<span>Respiration, nutrition,excretion, movement,irritability, reproduction, life span, death, evolvability are other properties of a living organism.</span>

galben [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is -  GDP nominal, human resources and right, and GDP per capita.

Explanation:

The three major and most reliable factors about determining the development of a country out of all the indexes are GDP nominal, the human rights index, and the GDP per capita.

The economy and production of a country can be shown by the GDP nominal if it is showing progress or declines.

The Average income of the citizen of the country is exhibited by GDP per capita to examine if the wealth of the country shares that gives an idea about rich, poor or the middle class.

The human rights index defines the basics of life expectancy and the rights they have that decides the happiness.

In 3-5 sentences, describe how paleomagnetic evidence supports the theory that continents change position (drift) over time.
Eduardwww [97]

The earth magnetic field changes direction and its strength varies from year to year. This results in magnetic anomalies within a rock body as magnetic elements and minerals records the changing direction of the magnetic field.

As new magma is brought near the mid-oceanic ridge, the older ones are pushed backwards and they show a different magnetic field direction from the cooling magma. This is usually evident in the orientation of the magnetic minerals.
