Answer from: deborah91

Under the geocentric model, the Two observations strongly supported the geocentric model:

1) The Sun appears to revolve around the Earth every day, and the Moon and planets also appear so (even if they have their own motions). The stars appear to be fixed in the sky, that's rotating once each day as well;

2) The Earth feels solid, stable and stationary. From the perspective of people on Earth, it seems to be unmoving.

So, until the theory of the heliocentric model became accepted, the geocentric model wasn't largely questioned.Under the heliocentric model, the Sun is in the center of everything (not the Earth), and the Earth orbit the Sun. This theory was proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus, but it took some time until it was accepted.

There where three main reasons why philosophers rejected it at first:

- If the Earth is orbiting the Sun, we should feel its motion;

- If the Earth is orbiting the Sun in a circular movement, the position of the stars should be different when the Earth is in different positions in relation to the Sun;

- The geocentric model is more attractive because it puts the Earth in a privileged position in the Universe.

hey bro i looked it up on google the structure of the eye-spot in euglena viridie, e. ehrenbergii, and phacus pyriyorme is not as franzé haa described it. the so-called “crystal body” and “lens bodies” were not found in any of the individuals of the species examined by me. as earlier observers have stated, the eye-spot consists simply of a mass of pigment granules arranged in a single layer, and probably embedded in a protoplasmic framework, but the latter could not be seen, and its presence was only inferred from the fact that the pigment granules must be held together in some way, thd the eye-spot as a whole is capable of expansion, and that the pigment granules can be separated from each other.

hope this and an i get brainlsiest
