Question

1. what is the term for something that displays all characteristics of life? 13. which characteristic of life is necessary in order for organisms to continue to exist? 14. what are the three domains? 15. what is a light microscope? 16. what are the two types of light microscope? 17. what is an electron microscope? 18. what are the two types of electron microscope? 19. in what kinds of fields are microscopes used?

Explanation:

1. An organism is something that displays all characteristics of life.
2. Reproduction is necessary for organisms to continue to exist as it ensures the passing - on of genetic material and the continuation of the species.
3. The three domains are Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.
4. A light microscope is an instrument that uses visible light and a system of lenses to magnify small objects.
5. The two types of light microscopes are compound light microscopes and stereomicroscopes (dissecting microscopes).
6. An electron microscope is a microscope that uses a beam of electrons instead of light to form an image of a specimen.
7. The two types of electron microscopes are transmission electron microscopes (TEM) and scanning electron microscopes (SEM).
8. Microscopes are used in fields such as biology, medicine, microbiology, materials science, and forensic science for examining small organisms, cells, tissues, and materials.
