Dr. Paul discovers a new chemical that he predicts will increase energy levels in hamsters. He designs an experiment to test his

prediction.
Dr. Paul separates 12 hamsters into two equal groups. He gives one group of hamsters the chemical but does not give the chemical to the other group. He keeps everything else about the hamsters' living environment the same.

Over the next month, Dr. Paul measures the time that the hamsters spend running on their exercise wheels each day. He then calculates averages for these measurements, which are shown in the table below.

Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4
Average Time Spent on Wheel by Hamsters Given Chemical 4.4 hours/day 5.1 hours/day 5.6 hours/day 5.3 hours/day
Average Time Spent on Wheel by Hamsters Not Given Chemical 3.2 hours/day 2.5 hours/day 2.8 hours/day 3.0 hours/day


The data that Dr. Paul collects during his experiment
A.
are not valid because Dr. Paul did not use a control group in his experiment.

B.
support his prediction that the chemical will increase energy levels in hamsters.

C.
contradict his prediction that the chemical will increase energy levels in hamsters.

D.
are not valid because experiments cannot be done on living organisms.

Starting from the sun, create a food chain including at least three organisms. Explain how energy is transferred through the cha
Kryger [21]

Answer:

The food chain showing seven organisms can be drawn as follows:

Plants → grasshoppers → mice → frog → snakes→ eagles → decomposers

The plants are the primary source of food in a food chain or a food web. The animals which feed on plants will be termed as herbivores or primary consumers like the grasshopper. The organisms feeding on primary consumers will be the secondary consumers like mice.

An energy pyramid for three of the organisms can be shown as follows:

              mice (10 kilocalories)

                   ↑

        Grasshoppers (100 kilocalories)

                   ↑

       Plants ( 1000 kilocalories)

As the energy pyramid shows, only about 10% of the energy travels from one trophic level to another.

tester [92]

Answer:

Each species has a specific identifying number of chromosomes. For example, a cat, <em>Felis catus</em>, has 38 chromosomes, while corn, <em>Zea mays</em>, has 20 chromosomes each chromosome carries specific genes that are unique to that chromosome.

Explanation:

Chromosomes vary in shape and number among living beings. For example, the bacterial chromosome is a unique circular molecule, while human beings have 46 lineal chromosomes arranged in pairs (23 pairs). The total number of chromosomes is specific to each species, and it is denoted as the "chromosomic dotation" of the species.

Genes are the hereditable units that transmit the information needed to specify traits, from parents to offspring, generation to generation. Genes are arranged in sequence in the chromosomes. A chromosome might contain hundreds of thousands of genes.

Genes vary in size and shape.  They are composed of pairs of bases, and these sequences also vary in number, producing genes of different lengths. In general, genes code for proteins. Proteins create the organism tissues and perform or carry out specific functions in the organisms, controlling almost all processes and chemical reactions.

Each chromosome carries <u>specific</u> genes that code for <u>specific </u>proteins that have <u>specific</u> functions in the organisms. Each chromosome carries information to synthesize different proteins needed to accomplish a certain function. But <u>not all chromosomes carry the same gene sequences</u>. Only homologous chromosomes carry information for the same trait, but even this information is not necessarily the same. They might have the same gene but different alleles.

Tanzania [10]
If you apply white light and it reflects only red, you see it red, all the other wavelentghs absorbed. If it reflects all wavelength (i think listed all red-orange....) then it should be white.
