Question

1.John puts a slide of sheeps blood on the stage of a steromicroscope (dissecting scope). Explain if this is the correct way to approach looking at the slide (2pts).

2.Name AND define 6 component of a compound microscope (1/2 pts / component, 3 pts total).

3.Define cell theory (please use own words, 2pts).

4.What is a cell (2pts)?

5.Make a table comparing and contrasting prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Please have 4 fields for the table (4 pts).

6.Describe and give an example of a unicellular AND multicellular organism.

8.Define compare hypertonic solution, hypotonic solution and isotonic solution (3pts).

9.Bonus (1 pt): What human cell is associated with a flagellum and why is the flagellum necessary in order to perform its function?

Explanation / Answer

1.yes

2.

Eyepiece: The lens the viewer looks through to see the specimen. The eyepiece usually contains a 10X or 15X power lens.

Diopter Adjustment: Useful as a means to change focus on one eyepiece so as to correct for any difference in vision between your two eyes.

Body tube (Head): The body tube connects the eyepiece to the objective lenses.

Arm: The arm connects the body tube to the base of the microscope.

Coarse adjustment: Brings the specimen into general focus.

Fine adjustment: Fine tunes the focus and increases the detail of the specimen.

Nosepiece: A rotating turret that houses the objective lenses. The viewer spins the nosepiece to select different objective lenses.

Objective lenses: One of the most important parts of a compound microscope, as they are the lenses closest to the specimen.

A standard microscope has three, four, or five objective lenses that range in power from 4X to 100X. When focusing the microscope, be careful that the objective lens doesn
