What are some of the challenges scientists most overcome when studying extreme environments such as deep space or the deep ocean
kvv77 [185]

Let us look at the what, why and how of studying extreme places like the deep earth and the deep space. Scientists need to figure out as to 'what' they want to look at such places, be it a new exotic creature or bio-genesis (birth of life). Unless there are several testable hypothesis constructed, such a study cannot begin. The 'why' aspect deals with the purpose of such research and expeditions. Is it of any use to the humans, or will it improve our current understanding of a phenomenon? The 'how' aspect deals with the technology and the economic assistance that can help in undertaking such a research. All these are the challenges that needed to be thoroughly considered to make such a research or expedition possible.

Describe how Stella’s view of these cells and their parts changed as she transitioned through the three levels of magnification.
Rudik [331]

Answer:

The paramecium body.

Explanation:

1. The objective lenses on a compound light microscope doess have powers that start of as smallest to highest power, 4x, 10x, and 40x on the maximum power setting. This means that the sample can be magnified either, 40x, 100x or 400x.

At 40x magnification Stella will see organism 5mm.

At 100x magnification Stella will be able to see organism 2mm.

At 400x magnification Stella will be able to see organism more closely, 0.45mm, or 450 microns.

2. Paramecia are shoe shape or molded and almost transparent and shrouded in a defensive pellicle.

Pellicle capacities like skin and shields them from the components. For movement they have cilia.
