It is known that certain macroinvertebrates (small aquatic organisms) are sensitive to polluted waters. Stonefly larvae, for exa
mple, are very sensitive to polluted water and low dissolved oxygen. You collect a lot of stonefly larvae in your study of a local stream and conclude that this stream has high levels of dissolved oxygen and is minimally polluted. Your conclusion is an example of Multiple Choice inductive reasoning. deductive reasoning.
Stonefly larvae, for example, are very sensitive to polluted water and low dissolved oxygen. You collect a lot of stonefly larvae in your study of a local stream and conclude that this stream has high levels of dissolved oxygen and is minimally polluted. Your conclusion is an example of deductive reasoning.
In both science and daily life, deductive reasoning is a sort of deduction. It occurs when you combine two genuine premises to arrive at a conclusion.
As an illustration, A = B. B and C are also equal. Deductive reasoning allows you to draw the conclusion that A and C are equal given those two statements.
Every dolphin is a mammal, Every mammal possesses kidneys.
You can draw the conclusion that all dolphins have kidneys through deductive reasoning. Keep in mind that for this to function, both assertions must be true.
The cell pictured in the diagram is a plant cell because there is are chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are located in plant cells and not in animal cells. Chloroplasts are where photosynthesis occurs, and photosynthesis does not occur in animals.
Moisture - There must be sufficient water vapor in the air for a cloud to form. Cooling air - The air temperature must decrease enough for water vapor to condense.
