What is the origin of telescope?

The telescope was first invented in the Netherlands in the early 1600s, with Hans Lippershey often credited as the original inventor. However, there were also claims from other inventors like Zacharias Janssen and Jacob Metius around the same time. The telescope played a pivotal role in advancing astronomy and our understanding of the universe.


Which structure is used to focus light in a reflecting telescope?

A refracting telescope uses a lens (or for most refractors today, 2 or more lenses) to bend the wavelengths of visible light to a focal point as a means of collecting light. The light is then focused using an eyepiece. Depending on the focal length of the eyepiece, the effective magnification of a telescope can be altered.


How do you create a table to compare the components and functions what macromolecules carbohydrates lipids nucleic acids proteins.?

You can create a table with columns for each macromolecule (carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, proteins) and rows for components and functions. Under each macromolecule, list components (e.g. monomers, building blocks) and functions (e.g. energy storage, cell structure, information storage). This will visually organize and compare the key components and functions of each macromolecule.


What kind of test could you do to find out if bigger organisms have bigger cells?

You can get a microscope and get a pice of your organism and see the size of the cells and compare it to the size of another organism, say a plant cell.


Is the following question true or false classifying makes it easier to compare and contrast organisms and their actions behaviors or functions?

True. Classifying organisms helps to group them based on similarities in their characteristics, behaviors, or functions, making it easier to compare and contrast different species. This classification system provides a framework for organizing and studying the diversity of life on Earth.

What year was the dissection microscope invented?

Philip O. Gravelle, a chemist, developed the dissecting microscope to compare bullets for indentification in forensics. It's basically a pair of microscopes placed next to each other and the optical paths of each microscope are connected together by the optical bridge would help the forensic examiners to simultaneously compare two specimens.

How does an electron microscope resolution compare with a light microscope?

An electron microscope has much higher resolution than a light microscope. Electron microscopes use a beam of electrons instead of photons allowing for much higher magnification and resolution, enabling the visualization of smaller details.
