Answer and Explanation: The figure below shows the doses of BPA administered to the female mice over time.
An experiment is used to determine cause and effect among variables. When the research is for the impact of a treatment, researchers randomly separate individuals in two groups:
- <em><u>Control</u></em> <em><u>Group</u></em> doesn't receive any treament or a placebo or a treatment whose outcome is already known;
- <em><u>Treatment</u></em> <em><u>Group</u></em> receives the treatment;
For the female mice on the image below, in the First Group is not injected any dosage of BPA, so they are the control group, while the <u>others</u> are <u>treatment group</u>.
The variables in a experiment are classified as independents or dependents:
- <em><u>Independent</u></em> <em><u>Variable</u></em> is the cause;
- <em><u>Dependent</u></em> <em><u>Variable</u></em> is the effect;
For the BPA research, since it is the effect of BPA over time on the mice's cells it is being investigated, <u>dosage</u> of BPA is the <u>independent</u> variable and <em>time</em> is the <em>dependent</em> variable.
<u>Answer:</u>
The correct answer option is B. Green wavelengths are the least used in photosynthesis.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Plants have a pigment in them called as chlorophyll. This chlorophyll is able to absorb only certain wavelengths of the light within the light spectrum.
From that visible light spectrum, chlorophyll is only able to absorb light of red and blue wavelength. The green light is not absorbed by the by chlorophyll as it is reflected back.
Therefore, this reflection of green light makes the leaves to appear green.
Answer:
A. Sensation
Explanation:
- <em>A sensation</em> is a mental process (like hearing, seeing or smelling) resulting from the immediate external stimulation of a sense organ often as distinguished from a conscious awareness of the sensory process, it's a physical feeling or perception resulting from something that happens to or come into contact with the body. Considering the example given the freshly cut grass, gentle breeze and sound of children laughing are the physical feelings stimulating your nose, skin, and ears.
- <em>Selective attention</em> is focusing on a particular object in the environment for a certain period, in your example, the subject is not specifically focusing on one thing at the time.
- <em>Sensory adaption</em> is the reduction in sensitivity to a stimulus after constant exposure to it, in this case, the subject is nos experiencing awareness of a constant stimulus.
- <em>Cognition</em> is the process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses. In your example, the data obtained by the subject is still not processed.
