Explain each concept

 

□      Life scientists commonly use compound light microscopes and electron microscopes to make observations of organisms or parts of organisms that are too small for the naked eye.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

□      Life scientists use X rays, CT scans, and MRI to view internal structures of organisms.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

□      Life scientists use computers to collect, store, organize, analyze, and share data.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

□      The International System of Units (SI), a simple and reliable system of measurement, is used by all scientists.
