11. PARTS AND FUNCTION OF A
COMPOUND MICROSCOPE
I. MAGNIFYING PARTS- used to enlarge the
specimen
1. Eyepiece
-an opening where one view’s the
specimen being observed
2. Objectives
- Metal, cylinders attached below the
nosepiece and contains especially ground
and polished lenses. It magnifies the
specimen in different levels.
12. Scanning Objective- gives 4x magnification
Low Power Objective (LPO)- gives the lowest
magnification, usually 10X.
High Power Objective (HPO)- gives higher
magnification, usually 40X or 43X.
Oil Immersion Objective – gives the highest
magnification, usually 97X, or 100X, and is used
wet either with cedar wood oil or synthetic oil.
13. PARTS AND FUNCTION OF A
COMPOUND MICROSCOPE
II. ILLUMINATING PARTS- used to provide
light
1. Mirror- supplies light
2. Condenser- used to collect and focus the
light from the illuminator on to the
specimen
3. Iris Diaphragm- controls the amount
of light reaching the specimen.
14. PARTS AND FUNCTION OF A
COMPOUND MICROSCOPE
III. MECHANICAL PARTS-used
to support and adjust the parts.
1. Revolving Nosepiece- it allows one to switch from one
objective to another.
2. Stage- it is a flat platform where the specimen is
placed.
3. Stage clips- it holds the glass slide in place
4. Arm- it connect the body tube to the base of the
microscope.
5. Coarse Adjustment- it is an adjustment to obtain

cells.
A typical animal cell has three distinct parts as seen under the
microscope: the plasma membrane, the cytoplasm and the
nucleus.
The plasma membrane is a thin sheet that encloses the cell. It is
through the plasma membrane where substances pass in and out
of the cell.
Cytoplasm contains many small, clearly defined structures called
organelles.
The nucleus is actually the largest organelle in animal cell.
139. All plants whether herbs, shrubs or
trees are made up of cells.
Plant cells are quite similar to
animal cells. They both have plasma
membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus and
other organelles.
There are important differences
between plant and animal cells.

207.
208.
209.
210. METHODS OF ASEXUAL
REPRODUCTION
1.Binary Fission
- is an equal division of nuclear
material and cytoplasm resulting into
new organisms.
Ex: amoeba, bacteria and euglena
211.
212.
213. 2. Budding
-New individual may form as an
outgrowth of the parent. The
outgrowth separates from the parent
and becomes a new individual.
Ex: yeast, hydra and sponges
214.
215.
216. 3. Spore Formation
-A type of asexual reproduction common
to fungi where fruit-like structures
called spores are released from spore
cases and each develops into a new
organism.
Ex: mold,fungi, mushroom, liverworts,
mosses and hornworts.
217.
218. 4. Regeneration
-Is the process in which
organisms replace or restore
their lost or damage body parts.
Ex: hydra, lizard, specific types
and starfish,
219.
220. 5. Fragmentation
-It is a form of asexual
reproduction where a new
organism grows from a fragment
of the parent
Ex: hydra, specific types and
starfish.
221.
222.
223. 6. Parthenogenesis
-It is a form of reproduction that
does not involve a male gamete
and in which unfertilized egg
develops into a new individual.
Ex: Reptiles, amphibians and
some fishes
224.
225.
226. 7. Vegetative Propagation
-It is an asexual propagation in
plants in which a new plant
grows from a fragment of the
parent plant or a specialized
reproductive structure.
Ex: most plants
227.
228.
229.
230. MODES OF SEXUAL
REPRODUCTION
1. Conjugation
A type of sexual reproduction where the
content of one cell is transferred to
another cell to form a zygote by forming a
bridge between the two cells.
Ex: spirogyra (green alga)
231.
232. 2. Sexual reproduction in
FLOWERING PLANTS
- The flower is the
reproductive organ in
flowering plants. Flower have
structures that produce the
gametes necessary for
reproduction.
233. POLLINATION
Brings together the gametes of a flower and it
occurs when a pollen grain of the right kind lands
on the stigma of the pistil. Each pollen forms a
tube that grows down through the pistil and
reaches the ovule in the ovary. One of the nuclei in
the pollen tube unites with the egg nucleus in the
ovule to form a zygote. The other sperm nucleus
combines with two nuclei of the two polar cells in
the ovule which develops into the endosperm.
234. 3 . Sexual reproduction in
ANIMALS
- The sperm and the egg
unite in a process called
fertilization.
235. 3 . Sexual reproduction in HUMANS and
ANIMALS
A. External Fertilization
- Occurs outside the body of the organism.
Ex: fishes, amphibians, and aquatic vertebrates
B. Internal Fertilization
-occurs inside the female’s body. The male inserts
the sperm into the female.
Ex: mammals, insects, birds and reptiles
236.
237.
238.
239. 3. Sexual Reproduction in HUMANS AND ANIMALS
- Humans and all animals have reproductive cells called
gametes.
- Gametes are formed during meiosis and come in the form
sperm (produced by males) and eggs (produced by
females).
- Fertilization, the union of two cells forming a zygote.

252. REVIEW
An ecosystem is the interaction between
__________ and __________ factors
abiotic biotic
264. SYMBIOSIS is the interaction between 2
different organisms living together
HOST- usually the LARGER of the 2
organisms
SYMBIONT- usually the SMALLER
member
268. A Symbiotic relationship in which one
organism lives at the expense of another.
One is benefit and one is harm.
Host – it lives on or inside another organism
Parasite – depends on another organism for
shelter and for food
278. capture and consumption of organisms by
other organisms to sustain life. One organism
is benefit and one is harm and died.
Predator – an animals that kills and eats other
animals
Prey – that animals that be eaten
279. Two or more organisms fight for
resources (food, space, shelter, a
mate), can be between same species
or different species.

286. Clownfish are frequently found in
the tentacles of sea anemones. Sea
anemones capture their prey by
paralyzing them with their
tentacles. However, the clownfish
produces a mucus that prevents
the tentacles from harming it. By
dwelling amongst the tentacles the
clownfish receives a protected
home. This relationship is an
example of …

290. Trapjaw Ant
A highly specialized predator, the trapjaw ant stalks its prey with spring-loaded jaws.
The trap is sprung when the ant detects prey with its antennae. Once the prey is
grasped, the ant thrusts its abdomen forward and injects venom to further subdue the
struggling quarry. This species, Acanthognathus teledectus, feeds exclusively on
springtails, tiny soft-bodied insects. These ants live in hollow twigs in small colonies of 4
to 20 individuals. They inhabit the rain forests of Central America. Ants outnumber all
other kinds of animals and play a critical role in ecology. They help control other species,
distribute seeds, and serve as food for larger animals.
291. Honeypot Ants Tending Aphids
Honeypot ants tend their aphids and periodically “milk” them for their
honeydew secretions by stroking the aphids gently with their antennae.
Ants will aggressively protect their aphids and may even move them
when they are in danger, transferring them into temporary shelters or
new nests. Some ant species also move their aphids into underground
burrows during the winter months.
292. Imperial Shrimp
The brilliant-red coloring of the imperial shrimp
matches the coloring of the Spanish-dancer sea slug,
on which it lives. The shrimp feeds on plankton and
detritus that get caught in the mucous covering of the
host’s skin.
293. Clownfish in Sea Anemone
Clownfish have a symbiotic relationship with sea anemones.
The fish chases away the anemone’s would-be predators with
its territorial behavior; and the anemone protects the fish with
its stinging cells. The fish is protected from the cells’ poison by
a thick mucous coat it secretes.
294. Blood Flukes
This light micrograph reveals adult intestinal Schistosoma mansoni, one of the species of
blood flukes that cause the disease known as schistosomiasis. The males are thick and
blue; the females are thin and clear. A type of flatworm, while in larval form blood flukes
enter the bloodstreams of people or animals exposed to contaminated water in tropical and
subtropical climates, and then lay their eggs inside the host’s body. The disease’s
symptoms, which include diarrhea, inflammation, and hemorrhage, vary in humans
depending on the species of fluke and what part of the body it infests. The disease may be
fatal if untreated.
295. White-Tailed Anemone Fish
The tiny white-tailed anemone fish helps clean
the anemone it lives in. It avoids being stung by
secreting a thick mucous coat that protects
against the stinging cells of the host anemone.
296. Sea Lamprey Clings to a Fish
The sea lamprey, a vertebrate parasite, belongs to the most primitive
group of living fish, the agnathans, or jawless fish. In this species the
lower jaw is missing and the upper jaw is modified into a sucking disk.
The lamprey feeds on blood by using this disk to attach to another fish
and drilling a small hole into the fish’s side with its small, muscular
tongue. The parasitic action rarely kills the host, but wounds caused by
lampreys often become infected.
297. Rain Forest, Costa Rica
Each year logging and agriculture destroy rain-forest terrain equal in size
to the state of Massachusetts (United States), threatening the survival of
tropical rain forests throughout the world. Located in a narrow belt within
four or five degrees of the equator, rain forests often provide the only home
for thousands of known or as yet undiscovered species of animals and
plants. The destruction of these rain forests is eliminating many of these
irreplaceable species at an alarming rate.
298. OBJECTIVES:
1. Identify the predators and prey animals in the
environment.
2. Describe how the predators capture the prey
animals for food, and
3. Describe how predators and prey animals interact
with each other in the environment.
299. PHOTOSYNTHESIS
- Process where plants are capable of converting energy form the Sun
into chemical energy in the form of glucose (food).
300. Arrange the following organisms to
show who eats whom:
killer whale
cod fish
krill shrimp
algae
leopard seal
301. What might happen to the other organisms if algae
were removed from this group?
What might happen if the killer whales were
removed?
Are there any organisms in this group that eat
more than one kind of food?
313. Food chain – shows one path of the flow of
energy in an ecosystem
Order of the food chain:
1.Sun – energy source
2.Producer
3.1st level Consumer – eats producers
4.2nd level Consumer – eats 1st level consumers
5.Decomposer – recycles materials for use by producers
314.
315. – a model that shows the
energy flow through
different organisms in an
ecosystem.
consists of many
overlapping food chains in
an ecosystem
316.
317.
318. -describes the feeding relationship
between a producer and a single chain of
consumers in an ecosystem.
322. A pyramid is used to illustrate the
structure of the trophic levels in a food
chain.
3 types of ecological pyramids:
Pyramid of numbers
Biomass pyramid
Energy pyramid
324. Shows the amount of living matter in a food chain.
Total dry weight (without water) of
organisms in a food chain
Mass/Area
Example: g/m2
325.
326. When an organism eats, it obtains energy, then
uses a lot of energy in life process like growth and
movement.
This means that only part of their energy is
available to the next organism in the food web.
327. Illustrates the amount of energy that
moves from one feeding level to
another in a food chain or web
The greatest amount of energy is
available at the producer level
The least amount of energy available to
going to be a the top of the food chain.
Only about 10% of the trophic level’s
energy is transferred to the next level.
