Write your answer in the space provided or on a separate sheet of paper.61)Scientific discoveries have had great impact in human history. The people who make these discoveries and thecircumstances that surround these discoveries are very important to our understanding of science. Can youidentify the individuals as they might have described themselves?a.I am a seventeenth century shopkeeper from Holland. My hobby involves hand-polishing glass to makelenses, some of which can magnify almost 300-fold. I was the first to observe living cells and am known as the"Father of Microbiology."b.I was the Curator of Instruments for the Royal Society of London in 1665. I developed a crude microscopethat could magnify around 30-fold. I examined plant material and observed many small chambers that I calledcellulae.c.At the University of California, Berkeley, I worked with radioisotopes. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Iused carbon-14 to identify the most common pathway for photosynthetic carbon metabolism.d.We worked out the double helix model of DNA structure in 1953. We later received the Nobel Prize for thiswork.e.I am a nineteenth century German chemist. By synthesizing an organic molecule from inorganiccomponents, I dispelled the idea that biological processes were exempt from the laws of chemistry.f.My colleague and I worked with bacterial viruses. We were able to demonstrate that DNA and not proteinwas the genetic material of the cell.g.I am a Swedish scientist. I developed the ultracentrifuge to determine sedimentation rates of proteins. Theultracentrifuge was later used to isolate subcellular fractions.Answer:a.Antonie van Leeuwenhoekb.Robert Hookec.Melvin Calvind.James Watson and Francis Cricke.Friedrich Wohlerf.Alfred Hershey and Martha Chaseg.Theodor Svedberg62)A number of different types of microscopy exist. Each type of microscopy has advantages and disadvantages.Can you identify the microscope that would be most advantageous for the situation below?a.A cell biologist wishes to visualize the ribosomes of a cell.b.A bacteriologist wishes to examine the motility of a bacterium.c.An immunologist wishes to determine if a lymphocyte possesses a certain surface protein.d.A virologist is trying to determine the three-dimensional shape of a virus.e.A pathologist is trying to examine the cytoplasm of a cell for changes that result from viral infection.Answer:(Answers may vary.)a.Electron microscopy, preferably transmission electron microscopy, should be used.b.Phase contrast or differential-interference-contrast would be most helpful.c.Fluorescence microscopy is often used.d.Scanning electron microscopy should be used.e.Transmission electron microscopy will enable the pathologist to visualize the interior.14

After reading this paragraph, list thesteps to the scientific method and list the activities that correspond to the steps of the scientific method.A rancher noticed that several grazing animals had become sick after grazing in a new area. The rancherasked a team of scientists to analyze this problem. They visited the area and found that the food available to theanimals was similar to the food they had been eating. The water supply in the area was adequate but waslimited to a single spring. Some of the scientists felt that the water might be contaminated with a pathogen.Therefore, they collected water samples from the spring in the new area and compared them with watersamples taken from previous grazing sites. The scientists noticed that water from the new area was cloudierthan water obtained from other areas. Culturing this water revealed that a pathogenic strain of bacteria waspresent. This bacterial strain was found to be identical to a strain obtained from sick animals. This strain wasnot present in healthy animals. They concluded that a contaminated water supply in the new area wasresponsible for the problem and instructed the rancher to avoid the water supply. The disease was not found inthe rancher's livestock again.Answer:(Please note that answers may vary.)Observation.The rancher and the scientists made initial observations regarding the food and water thatthe livestock consumed.Hypothesis.The water supply was contaminated with a pathogen.Experimentation.Water was collected, examined, and cultured.Collect data.The turbidity of the water was examined. The cultures were positive for a pathogenic strainof bacterium.Interpret results.The data was compared to other water samples. The cultures were compared to thoseobtained from livestock.Draw conclusion.The water was contaminated and responsible for the outbreak.15
