So, the fact that it's a specific instrument doesn't change why you need to correct the data.
However, for this question it is important to know the instrumentation.
Since respirometers are measuring the <span>C<span>O2</span>:<span>O2</span></span><span> relation, clearly having biotic material and abiotic material will change the measurements.
You should be able to figure out that the general gas law is coming into effect because of the act of cellular respiration. In general terms, you are correcting your instrument to a known blank (you do this with scales and every other instrument).
By determining the reading for the blank (marbles) you can know the relative error of the instrument.
Taking a scale for example: You 0 the scale to a mass of importance (the amount of error you're okay with) and then use it for your measurements so you can be adequately confident of the mass you're measuring .</span>

barxatty [35]

1. Answer;

Light microscope (LM)

Explanation;

-A light microscope (LM) is an instrument that uses visible light and magnifying lenses to examine small objects not visible to the naked eye, or in finer detail than the naked eye allows.

-It allows attachment of the focus wheels and the stage to the microscope. A light source used in place of a mirror. Most microscopes do allow manual light adjustment via a wheel located near the base.

2. Answer;

Scanning electron microscope (SEM)

Explanation;

-A scanning electron microscope (SEM) scans a focused electron beam over a surface to create an image. The electrons in the beam interact with the sample, producing various signals that can be used to obtain information about the surface topography and composition.

-There are two main types of electron microscope; the transmission EM (TEM) and the scanning EM (SEM). The transmission electron microscope is used to view thin specimens (tissue sections, molecules, etc) through which electrons can pass generating a projection image.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Move from observing the most specific traits that can divide the organisms to the most obvious traits, offering 2 choices each time

Explanation:

dichotomous key reffers to a tool that give room to the user in determining the identity of items in the natural world. Items can be mammals, fish,wildflowers, mammals and reptiles. The particular key is made up of series of choices that help user to get the name of a particular item correctly. At the end dichotomous keys always bring about two choices in a step.

In dichotomous key the user has to select a choice out which of the two statements that describes the unknown organism best, with the reference of the choice made based of moves to the next set of statements, so at the end the identity of the unknown is clarified.

Therefore, in dichotomous key it move from observing the most specific traits that can divide the organisms to the most obvious traits, offering 2 choices each time
