A biology class wanted to study the effect of different materials on the melting rate of ice. They placed pieces of ice, each with a mass of 10g, onto trays. Group 1 was covered in plastic, group 2 was covered in paper, group 3 was covered in aluminum, and group 4 remained uncovered. Each piece of ice was allowed to melt for 15 minutes. Then final mass of the ice, minus the melted water, was recorded at the end of the experiment. What is the dependent variable in this experiment?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:The ice was the Dependent Variable

Explanation: the outcome of tge experiment would only be determined based on the suroundings, such as the plastic, aluminem, and the paper, all of which effect the ice therefore making the ice the dependent variable

Answer 2

Variables are the factors or quantities that may remain fixed or get changed. The final mass of the ice at the end of the experiment is the dependent variable. Thus, option D is correct.

What is a dependent variable?

A dependent variable is defined to be a factor or value that relates to and depends on the results and outcomes of the independent variable. In an experimental design, they are the parameters that affect the result.

The dependent variable undergoes a change in its values based on the other factors and variables. It has been compared to the control or the standardized groups. They are also referred to as outcome or the response variables as they are conditional to changes.

Therefore, option D. the final mass of ice is a dependent variable as it is conditional to different materials.

Many farmers and gardeners compost their plant and animal waste. The living material naturally decays in compost bins, forming a dirt-like substance that’s rich in nutrients. The next season, farmers use this substance as a natural fertilizer for their crops. A biology student has grown tomato plants for several years. Until now, he used an artificial fertilizer formulated for tomato plants. This fertilizer caused his plants to grow faster and taller than they grew in unfertilized soil. The student wants to know whether using natural compost will cause his tomato plants to grow faster and taller than his artificial fertilizer. How does the design of your experiment control for outside factors that may affect the results?

Answers

Answer:

yes the fertile soil will grow faster and taller

Explanation:

the fertile soil will grow faster because  it has what the plant needs

Answer: it shall be opion b

Explanation:

In order for a dead organisms remains to become fossilized certain conditions must be met. summarize three of these conditions.

Answers

The organism generally must have hard parts such as shell, bone, teeth, or wood tissue; the remains must escape destruction after death; and the remains must be buried rapidly to stop decomposition. This does make the fossil record biased because animals with soft bodies are less likely to form fossils. It also means that particular environments will not help fossils form because the remains must be buried rapidly and escape the detection of scavengers.
4. Describe three different methods of fossilization.
Organisms can be buried and preserved in substances such as frozen soil, volcanic ash, sediment, ice, oil, and amber. This process preserves even the soft parts. Hard parts such as shells, teeth, bones, and wood can also be more easily preserved because they resist weathering. Hard parts can also become altered due to carbonization (leaves only a thin film of carbonaceous material), petrifaction (gets replaced by minerals in water turning it to stone), and replacement (hard parts dissolve and get replaced by calcite, silica, dolomite, and iron compounds)

The vast majority of deceased organisms vanish without a trace, so fossilization is a rare process.

What are the conditions that favor fossilization:

Hardbody parts (bones, teeth, shells) will fossilize; soft body parts will not but may leave traces (e.g. imprints)

Remains preserved (protection against scavenging, erosion, and environmental damage)

There is a lot of pressure to get the remains mineralized (i.e. turn hard body parts into fossilized rocks)

Anoxic (low oxygen) conditions are used to protect against oxygen damage and to prevent saprotroph decomposition.

Thus, we can conclude that hardbody parts remain preserved, and high pressure and anoxic conditions are required during fossilized.

The esophagus, a tube that carries food to the stomach, is constantly being scraped as food travels through it. Why does the esophagus not deteriorate through a person’s lifetime? Cells can anabolize the food prior to entering the esophagus. Cells are constantly dividing and replacing old or damaged cells. Cells promote a fluid to build up along the esophagus to reduce friction. Cells build a type of protein called enzymes that act as an armor.

Answers

Cells are constantly dividing and replacing old or damaged cells.

The esophagus does not deteriorate throughout a persons life due to cellular reproduction. When the cells are scraped off by the food, mitosis, or cellular division occurs resulting in two daughter cells from one which will eventually replace the missing cells.

Reset Next

Answers

Answer:

Option A. Sodium is needed to generate an action potential.

Explanation:

Action potentials are generated by the special types of the voltage-gated channels which are embedded in the plasma membrane of the cell.

These channels are shut when the membrane potential is near zero and the voltage-gated channels open only when the membrane potential is more than the threshold voltage.

When the channels are open then they allow the flow of sodium ions which ultimately changes the electrochemical gradient which rises the membrane potential. This rise in membrane potential generates the action potential.

Describe wavelength, amplitude, and frequency in relationship to vision and hearing

Answers

Explanation:

Visual and auditory stimuli both occur in the form of waves. Although the two stimuli are very different in terms of composition, wave forms share similar characteristics that are especially important to our visual and auditory perceptions. Waveforms of different types surround us at all times, however we only have receptors which are sensitive to specific types of wavelengths. In this section, we describe the physical properties of the waves as well as the perceptual experiences associated with them.

AMPLITUDE AND WAVELENGTH

Two physical characteristics of a wave are amplitude and wavelength (figure below). The amplitude of a wave is the height of a wave as measured from the highest point on the wave (peak or crest) to the lowest point on the wave (trough). Wavelength refers to the length of a wave from one peak to the next.

 

The amplitude or height of a wave is measured from the peak to the trough. The wavelength is measured from peak to peak.

 

   Wavelength is directly related to the frequency of a given wave form. Frequency refers to the number of waves that pass a given point in a given time period and is often expressed in terms of hertz (Hz), or cycles per second. Longer wavelengths will have lower frequencies, and shorter wavelengths will have higher frequencies 

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related so that longer waves have lower frequencies, and shorter waves have higher frequencies. In the visual system, a light wave's wavelength is generally associated with color, and its amplitude is associated with brightness.

Carbon monoxide (c.) is the gas that makes up the majority of air pollutants.

What is carbon mono oxide?

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels, such as gasoline, natural gas, coal, and wood. It is a highly toxic gas and can be harmful to both humans and animals.

When inhaled, carbon monoxide enters the bloodstream and binds to hemoglobin, the molecule responsible for carrying oxygen to body tissues. This binding affinity is much stronger than that of oxygen, resulting in reduced oxygen delivery to organs and tissues. As a result, exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide can lead to symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion, and in severe cases, loss of consciousness and death.

Carbon monoxide is a significant air pollutant, often found in areas with heavy traffic, industrial emissions, and improper ventilation. It is important to have proper ventilation systems and to use carbon monoxide detectors to minimize the risk of exposure to this dangerous gas.
