Q

Who introduced the taxonomy system that became the basis for the system we use today and why did he do it?

A 
Who = Carolus Linnaeus 
Why = recognized that little information was available about how to classify plants / saw a need for a universal classification system that would allow all scientists to communicate with one another about living things in a meaningful way.

Q

What is the definition of abiotic?

A

The non living environment. The nonliving parts of an organisms’s environment.
Ex. Rock, sun, soil, air

20
Q

What would happen to all of the biotic factors in an ecosystem if there were no abiotic factors?

A

Everything biotic would die because biotic things need support from abiotic stuff.
Ex. Air, water

21
Q

Nosepiece?

A

Holds the objective lenses; rotates to enable changing magnification.

22
Q

Objective lenses?

A

Used in combination with the eyepiece to provide a range of magnifications, usually from 40X to 400X.

23
Q

Stage?

A

Supports the slides.

24
Q

Diaphragm?

A

Wheel of lever that adjusts amount of light that passes through hole in stage; provides proper contrast.

25
Q

Light?

A

Sends light through the hole in the stage to illuminate specimen on slide.

26
Q

Base?

A

Supports the microscope; serves as a handle.

27
Q

Fine adjustment knob?

A

Raises and lowers the stage or objective lenses a tiny distance for extra focusing.

28
Q

Coarse adjustment knob?

A

Raises and lowers the stage or objective lenses.

29
Q

Stage clip?

A

Usually one on each side of hole in stage; helps to hold slides in place.

30
Q

Arm?

A

Supports the upper part of the microscope; serves as a handle

31
Q

Eyepiece?

A

Usually contains a 10X lens.

32
Q

Body tube?

A

The tube that connects the eyepiece to the nosepiece.

33
Q

Guidelines for scientific drawings:

A
  1. The drawing is made with a sharp pencil.
  2. The size of the drawing is proportional to the way the magnified object appears in the field of view.
  3. The magnification and/ or the diameter of the field of view is printed just below the circle.
  4. The title appears in upper-case letters just below the magnification.
  5. The lines used for labeling are inside the feature being identified.
  6. A ruler is used to draw the lines for labels.
  7. Labels printed neatly outside the field of view and parallel to the bottom of the page.
  8. The magnification, title, and labels are printed, not in cursive.
  9. There are no noticeable erase marks.
  10. Measurements are printed within parentheses to the right of the title.

36
Q

Diameter of field of view during medium magnification:

A

1.5mm

37
Q

Diameter of field of view at high magnification:

A

0.5mm

38
Q

How to calculate total magnification:

A

Power Eyepiece Obj. Lense Total mag.

Med.(yellow) 10X 10X 100X
High(green) 10X 40X 400X

39

When was the microscope invented?

A

Early 1600’s

40
Q

What does the word “compound” mean when referring to the microscope?

6 legs
4 wings
Antennae
Exoskeleton
42
Q

Give an example of how and insect can be a “good guy” or a “bad guy”?

A

“Good guy”: honey bees = pollinate flowers and many food crops, make honey
“Bad guy”: mosquitoes = transmit/ spread diseases such as malaria and yellow fever
grasshoppers = destroy entire fields of crops

43
Q

How do parasitic wasps help our world?

A

Lower the pest population.

45
Q

What major contribution to the development of the microscope did Antony van Leeuwenhoek make?

A

Made lenses that were clearer.

46
Q

What difference was there between Hooke’s and van Leewenhoeks’s scopes?

A 
Hooke’s = blurry, compound
Leewenhoek’s = clearer, magnify more, 1 lense
