1. Living Environment Final Exam Blue Review Packet

2. Microscope What is the function of the diaphragm?
The part of the microscope that controls the amount of light passing through the opening of the stage
What is the function of the coarse adjustment?
The part of the microscope that is used for focusing with the low-power objective lens; it is the larger knob of the two focusing knobs.
What is the function of the fine adjustment?
The part of the microscope that is used for focusing with the high-power objective lens; the coarse adjustment knob should never be used on high power.

3. Microscope
As you increase the magnification, the field of view becomes smaller, but the objects you are viewing appear larger as you zoom into a smaller area.
What is the diameter of the microscope field of view (FOV) using the following powers?
Scanning Power___________ Low Power____________ High Power____________
Diameter of high-power field of view = 
Magnification of scanning-power objective X Diameter of low-power FOV
Magnification of high-power objective
For example, a microscope has a scanning-power objective with a magnification of 4X and a high-power objective with a magnification of 40X. If the low-power field of view (FOV) is 3 mm wide, the diameter of the high-power field of view is (4 X 3 mm)/40 = 0.3 mm.
You can use the same formula to calculate the low power field of view

10. Glucose Homeostasis

11. Examine the diagram showing glucose homeostasis. a. Define homeostasis: The process by which organisms maintain a relatively stable internal environment 90
back down
back up
Insulin
It stimulates liver cells to form glycogen

12. Examine the diagram showing glucose homeostasis.
Glucagon
Glucagon stimulates liver cells to change glycogen into glucose.
The pancreas is signaled to secrete insulin into the blood.

13. The pancreas is signaled to produce Glucagon which stimulates to liver to change glycogen into glucose and put it into the blood.
When you eat, food is digested and glucose is absorbed into the blood. This creates glucose levels that are too high. The body counteracts this by storing the excess glucose as glycogen. Then the glucose levels are too low, so the body converts glycogen back to glucose. Then the levels are too high, so…
Insulin and glucagon are the hormones that convert glucose into glycogen and glycogen into glucose. The levels are never equal and depend on blood glucose.
Blood glucose levels above 90 mg/100 ml.
Blood glucose levels below 90 mg/100 ml.
Blood glucose levels would remain high. Type 1 Diabetes

14. 1) The message travels down Neuron 1, the presynaptic neuron
2) Neurotransmitter chemicals are released by Neuron 1
3) Neurotransmitter diffuses across the synaptic cleft
4) Neurotransmitter binds to recpetor sites on Neuron 2, the postsynaptic neuron
5) Ion channels open on Neuron 2
6) The message continues

15. Below is the chemical equation for photosyntesis
Below is the chemical equation for photosyntesis. Answer the items that follow. O2
What are the two starting chemicals for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide Water
What are the two chemicals that are produced during photosynthesis?
Glucose Oxygen
Why is ligt important to photosynthesis?
The main source of energy during photosynthesis is light. That is why photosynthesis is alternatively called a “light reaction” where light energy is converted into chemical energy.
What is the name of the green chemical that captures the energy in light and transfers that energy into the bonds of the glucose molecule? Chlorophyll
What is the function of enzymes during photosynthesis?
Enzymes assist chemical reactions that would normally require too much energy to occur without assistance. Enzymes involved in photosynthesis make it possible for the carbon dioxide and water to be reconfigured into the final sugars.

16. Below is the chemical equation for photosyntesis
Below is the chemical equation for photosyntesis. Answer the items that follow. O2
Why are green plants called producers?
They make (produce) their own food
Why do you think that someone might call photsynthesis “autotrophic nutrition”?
Autotrophic comes from the Greek words “auto” which means self and “trophic” which means nutrition or feeding. So autotrophic nutrition would refer to an organism that feeds itself, or produces their own food.
